   Topic: Need to report zero amounts too
Posted: 29 Apr 2010 at 9:42am |
I am using @BalanceAccum to sum the transaction total for costs and billings to display on a single line item per cost code. However, I am not getting anything to display when the amount is zero. I still need zero amounts to display. The detail is supressed, with the amounts displayed in the GF2. Subtotals by division in GF1.

try changing your formula to 'Use default values for Nulls' instead of 'exceptions for Nulls'

I found out how to do this, but now it is giving an error for a field with a ToNumber conversion. When I print preview after marking "use default values for nulls", then it says The String is Non-numeric, and opens up my ToNumber formula.

What is your formula that spits the error?

I did fix the errors for the ToNumber.
However, my report is still not returning a value when there are no transactions. I need it to report all cost codes, even if there were no actual costs.

Here is what I'm trying to do:
If IsNull({JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT}) then "0" else ({JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT})
However it tells me a string is required and points to the second ({JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT}).
Every cost code that has had no activity is being skipped on the report, but I need every cost code to print, because it would have revenue and budget associated with it.

Don't use " " around the zero. that is making it a string not a numeric value.
Note: setting any formula that uses this field to "Use default values for Nulls" already does this function.
If IsNull({JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT}) then 0 else ({JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT})

I'm using the Display NumberVar. It's still not printing zeros.
This is my display:
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar BalanceAccumulator
This is my accumulator:
This is my initializer:
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar BalanceAccumulator := 0;
This is my ACTUAL2 formula:
If IsNull({JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT}) then 0 else ({JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT})
I'm not sure what I'm still doing wrong.

What is @billed ?
if that has NULLS that are not addressed it will display nothing as well

This is the formula for the @BILLED:
if{JC_TRANSACTIONS.CLASS}="16" then {JC_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT} else 1
I still cannot get the zeros to return. In this case, I even asked for 1 if there were no class 16 transactions.
When I do the initial link of tables I am linking Cost Code Tables (holds budget, contract) and Transactions (holds actual and billed). I have the Cost Code table on the Left (I want all of those reported) and then the Transaction table on the right with arrows between. Now I'm questioning if this is correct.
