   Topic: Combine specific groups to one group name
Posted: 01 Mar 2007 at 11:41am |

I have a subreport with groups. Within these different groups; I would like to combine 3 groups into one custom group name and group together. How do I do that?

Hmmm.... I would use a formula and concatenate the three fields together. Then only display them within the appropriate groups. If that isn't what you are looking for, then I would create a global variable, and within each group header concatenate the group name onto the global variable. That way you are building the custom group name as the groups get printed.

I should explain more. The category is just one field with these possible values. If I have categories like insurance, medical, food, cable, phone, and electric; and I want to group just the cable, phone, and electric into a group called utilities. In the report the only groups to show should be:
insurance
insurance detail line1
insurance detail line2
medical
food
food detail line1
food detail line2
utilities
cable detail line1
electric detail line2
electric detail line3
electric detail line4
phone detail line1
phone detail line2
phone detail line3

Quick sample formula to use for your group:
If {table.category field} = 'Cable' then 'Utilities'
else if {table.category field} = 'Electric' then 'Utilities'
else if {table.category field} = 'Phone' then 'Utilities'
else {table.category field}
There are other ways of doing this, but this is a quick and dirty example.

Are you grouping on the formula or just using it as the text for the group header? You need to change the group to work on the formula and NOT on the category field itself.

Finally got it. I played around and this is what I have:
- Used a formula field called @Grpheader and pasted the above if else if ... statement.
- Used the same @Grpheader as the Grouping. (Originally I had a field as my grouping. I changed this in the Group Options Dialog.)
Dell, thank you for your help!
