Hi everyone,  I have this table below that a task number might have
a description and  a memo tesk, but it's located into 2 different rows.  Is there a formula that I can use to combine the 2 fields into one?  Thank you in advance for your help.
TaskNumber  SequenceNumber Description ExtendedDescription MemoTesk
0025466 000 Exterior glass washed inside o Y
0025466 001 f entire building excluding atrium
0025467 000 Exterior glass washed outside Y
0025467 001 of entire building
0025468 000 Atrium windows washed inside

Is Sequence Number 000 always the description and 001 always the memo?  If it is, this is fairly simple using aliases.  I'm going to use a table name of "Tasks" in this example.
 
1. In the Database Expert, add a second copy of Task to the report - Crystal will ask you if you want to "alias" the table - click on Yes.  A second copy of Task now appears in the table list with the name "Tasks_1".
 
2.  Join from Tasks to Tasks_1 on the TaskNumber.  If not all tasks have a memo, make this a Left Outer join.
 
3.  In the Select Expert, set a filter so that {Tasks.SequenceNumber} = '000' and {Tasks_1.SequenceNumber} = '001'
 
You can now get the base data on the task from Tasks and the memo from Tasks_1.
