If {?GroupBy} = "Runs" then
    {Table.runName}
Else  
    {Table.vehicleId}

I have been trying to allow grouping by user selection.  The formula workshop keeps saying there is an error in the formula.  I can't figure out what the error is.  I made the two groups, one by runName, one by vehicleId.

I'm using Crystal Reports XI.

Thanks in advance.

What is the error message?

My guess is that it highlights {Table.vehicleId} and tells you it expects a string.

That would be because a formula can only return one type of variable.

Convert any non-string variables to string. Or whatever type should be returned.

Thank you.  The error message did not specify what the error was.  That was the problem however.
