    Posted: 08 Apr 2008 at 10:05am

I have this formula:

If {sort_codes} = "HX03" then {Building_sf}
else
If {sort_codes} = "A001" then {Street_name}
 
It was giving me an error "a number is expected" .
 
Can anyone help me to write this formula that returns both numbers and string?
 
Thanks,

Don't think you can do that within Crystal.

Listed below are the options to convert one of the two fields to a string or numeric value.

totext({table.field})

tonumber({table.field})

It's likely you'll have to convert the number to a string. Tonumber is generally used when you have a numeric field stored as text.

Hope this helps.
