I have produced a report which has several lineswhich a lot of the data duplicated
 
I dont want to show the duplicated items so i have formatted the field "Suppress if Duplicated" but i would like to show in the suppress space "Refer to Main"
 
How can i do this

what comes to mind is to create a label that says 'refer to main' and then in it's suppression formule (general tab/x-2 button) put something like:

{table.field} = previous{table.field}
 
the only caveat being, if you change groups and this field doesn't change, it will display message, as it only knows to look at the data....not where that data logically belongs.
