Posted: 08 Sep 2009 at 9:15am |

display columns 1,2,6,7,8
else

I assume you have columns 1,2,6,7,8 on detail section a and columns 1,4,6,7,8 on detail section b.
I also assume that column3 is really a field that is on each row.
In the section expert select detail section A.
Click on the formula button next to "Suppress no drill down" and add your suppression condition here...
{table.col3field}<>50001
//if it is text and not numeric make it <>"50001"
Now select section detail b and do the same thing but use the formul...

Thanks. It works.
My report displays background color on alternate rows.
What I did was to add following code
if RecordNumber mod 2 = 0 then crSilver else crNoColor
in both the Details a, Details b section.
It seems to work but is it the right way to do it.
Thanks,
Kiran

Assuming you do not have conditional suppression ofa an entire row (both a and B) then your background should work.
If you do suppress an entire row /record # then you would need to add a counter / Running Total to use for the "x mod 2=0"
FYI - I assume you are just flipping "column 2 and 4" on these rows. You can also do this by placing these fields on top of each other on the same detail and conditionally suppress each field the same way you did the entire row... or you can make one formula field that would "flip" between the fields and display it instead...This formula fierld can also be used for sums/counts....
if {table.col3field}=50001 then {table.col2field} else {table.col4field}

Thanks, thats good information but is flipping just one column field is faster than the entire row ? do you think that the performance gets affected this way ?

I am not an expert on that but my guess in this instance is that using one formula to flip would be better performance than conditiaonl suppression of a or b.

Thanks for the reply.
Any idea on how to divide my columns by a number.
I want to divide the data coming in columns 6,7 by 1000.
How do i implement it ?
Thanks again.
Kiran

Assuming you mean each column individually then create 2 formula fields.
For column 6: {table.column6_field}/1000
For column 7: {table.column7_field}/1000
if you wanted the sum divided then:
({table.column6_field} +{table.column7_field})/1000

thanks.got it to work.
I am trying to display my header for col 5 as 'RIGHT({?period},2)' & ' Balance' and col 6 as ToNumber(RIGHT({?period},2))-1' & ' Balance' .
I am getting col5 as say 08 Balance and col 6 as 7.00 Balance.
I want col 5 as 07 Balance.
I could'nt figure out how to do this. I am doing the above in a formula.
Thanks,
Kiran

'0' + totext(ToNumber(RIGHT({?period},1))-1,0) + ' Balance'
