Hello,

I've set up a formula field that should display string dependent on input condition (IF...THEN...ELSE). When the condition evaluates to TRUE the THEN... expression is correctly displayed, but when it evaluates to FALSE nothing is displayed. How is that possible?

I've attached two screenshots - the first one showing the definition of the "RC" field with formula and its use in the group header, the other one with the actual report with the "RC" field's missing content.

I use Crystal Reports 2008.

two things to consider
1. if you are dealing with NULL values, not empty strings then it will stop evaluating when it hits a NULL essentially returning nothing.
In the formula editor set the NULL option to 'use default values for null' to handle that condition.
Also you may want to trim the field in case it has a space in it.
2. Your formula is evaluating at the field level but is being displayed in the group header so it is only evaluating on the first row in the group and returning a result based on that row.
