    Posted: 09 Apr 2008 at 6:48am
In my report I am showing business clients' addresses like this:

CompanyName
FamilyName Prename
Street
ZIPCode City

Now there are many cases where no familyname and prename are stored in the database. In this case an empty line is showing up in the report. But I want this empty line to be suppressed/not seen, cause it doesn't look to good.
How can I do that?

I tried to enter a formula in the formatting-window, that suppresses the line, when no name is stored, but still an empty space is appearing between CompanyName and Street.

Try creating a text box and then placing the data fields inside it. If the fields are empty they should not show.  I know this works for multi-line addresses and presume it will work the same here.

The other way to do this is to put each of your lines in a separate section and turn on "Suppress if Blank"

thanks for your suggestions.
i used a textfield and inserted the datafields into that textfield, but when the datafield is empty (null) there is an empty line.
so, it's the separete section now.
