    Posted: 10 Jun 2010 at 5:20am
Hi All, I have a problem, I have a report that counts and extracts information from 2 teams. The report has 1 tab for each team which displays the teams members IDs.

I need to see all Team 1's ID's
I only need to retrieve Team 2 ID's that only have a certain job description.

I can do it using 2 seperate reports but it I want to make it work a touch of a button.

Is there anyway I can apply a rule to a selected team?

ANY HELP IS HELP AT THE END OF DAY
THANKS.

P.S HELP!!!!!!!

It might work well for you to extract all your data but suppress the detail records where team = 2 and job description = ones you don't want.

How exactly would I do that, using a formula or something?

Selectively suppressing rows is done in the Section Expert using a formula.  However, if you're doing any summaries (counts, sums, etc.) it doesn't work as well.

To completely filter the records out of your report, do something like the following:
 
1. In the Select Expert, click on the formula button (if there's no selection criteria, you'll have to pick a field first.)
2.  Enter something like this:
 
{myTable.Team} = 'Team 1' OR
({myTable.Team} = 'Team 2' and {myTable.JobTitle} = 'Blah')
 
Note the parentheses (in red) - you have to use them this way in order to get this to work correctly.
