I am new to Crystal Reports and have a query as to how I resolve an issue that I have with a report. I need to be able to run the report in 2 different ways and want to be able to allow this to be controlled by a parameter. I have a field in a table acctrans.outsbal which contains the outstanding balance on a customers account. I want to be able to run this report to select the customers either when the outsbal is = 0 or when it is <> 0.
How can I create a parameter to allow me to select which way I want the report to run.

Hi Boyle

Well you can do this

Step 1: create a static parameter {?balance} with two user input values as balance zero and balance not zero.

Step 2: Goto report selection formula now and write this below code.

if {?balance} = "balance zero" then
acctrans.outsba = 0
else
{?balance} = "balance not zero" then
acctrans.outsba <> 0

Note: All you you need to make sure that DB field outsba is Key figure.

Thanks
Abhi
