Hi all,
 
    I have 2 colums in report (CR 10): ColumnA and ColumnB.
    I set background color formula for ColumnB:
         if(strcmp({ColumnA}, {ColumnB}) = 0) then
               crred
         else
               nocolor
    (it mean: if 2 columns are different value --> column B is set to red "Background" color
    case 1: columnA with value 'aaa' and columnB with value 'bbb' --> columnB is set to red in background
 
    case 2: columnA with value 'aaa' and columnB with value ' ' (one space, i get this value from DB) --> columnB is not set red in background althought 2 column is different. (I think Crystal Report can not apply formula for blank, null, event one space character)
 
     Any body have solution please tell me asap! Dose CR support formular for case 2
 
Thanks and regards,
Huynh

In the report options, set the option 'use default values for null'. This way, if a value is null, then CR treats it as an empty string. See if that helps.
