Hello every1 
I am having trouble with duplicates.I tried to make a report with using "next" command on formula field but then getting an error like "this formula
cant be used because it must be evaulated later"...
 The report will be like ;
{field 1} {field 2} AAA 10 AAA 10 BBB 5 CCC 20 CCC 20 CCC 20 my formula is like " if {field 1}=next({field 1}) then 0 else 1
then i dont want the raport to shows "0" but with selection expert i cant select the formula or i cant use "insert summary" with selecting this formula.
Also i cant make it with supress because i need sum of {field 2} after i sort out these duplicates.How can i make this ??? Thanks .... |

Hi Right Click the formula field in Design View Select Format Field then in Common Tab in Format Editor Click X+2 against Suppress and enter the code
mailto:%7b@FormulaFieldName%7d=0 - {@FormulaFieldName}=0
then getting sum for the field 2
Create a formula
Frm_Accumulate
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar SumField2;
SumField2 := SumField2 + Field2;
Frm_FinalSummary
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar SumField2;
SumField2 := SumField2 + SumField2
Cheers

unfortunately it didint work or i made something wrong.
First of all supress wont work because even you supress the duplicated values it still count in summary.
So i need to sort out these duplicated values instead of supress.
And another question ...
will i put Frm_Accumulate and Frm_FinalSummary on detail section ?
tbh i didint understand the meaning of Frm_FinalSummary
thanks again :)

Frm_Accumulate
Will go in details section you can suppress it as you don't want to show the results of that....
and Frm_FinalSummary in report footer

here what i have got after tried it
I guess i coulldnt understand u clearly but thanks for your helps :))
the formula works fine
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar summary; if previousisnull({field 1}) then summary:={field 2} else if {field 1}<>previous({field 1}) then summary:={field 2} + summary else summary but the problem is i cant use the formula that has "next" or "previous" commands on record selection.
My problem is to find a way to solve this.If there is a way that u can recommend i will be pleased ...
