hy there again!
 
 
i still got one problem with one of my reports.
 
Here's the deal:
 
ITEM CODE - ITEM NAME - JAN - FEB - MAR - APR - MAY
12345        -  glass n1    -  1,1 - 2,1  - 3,1  -  1,9  - 2,1
42341        -  fiber za1   -  2,1  -        -        -         - 3,4
 
for the item code 42341 only JAN and MAY have prices because the price only changed in MAY.
 
----> what i want is to tell that in FEB if field has no value the USE THE LAST MONTH VALUE, then the same do MAR and APR.... and any other months, if the value is empty use the latest value available...
 
anyone can help??? thanks... Confused

You can use "PreviousValue ". Look under 'functions' in CR help. Read through the detail and see if it does what you want. There are also some examples that may be helpful.
 
Hope this will do what you want.

hy there!
 
i cant find that function "PreviousValue ", but i think its because of my CR, iam working with version 8.0 :(
 
but the problem remains, imagine i get a value for month april, ok until here. but since january all the values are empty because the last value is in december of the last year.
 
and that last value(from december) is a SUM OF 3 AMOUNT FIELDS
 
damn this is getting hard Smile

Since you dont a version that will read the previous value, anything I could suggest would involve multiple lines of code, likely dispersed in formulas for each month. While it would someone else on the forum may have a better solution. I hate to have anyone do unnecessary work, and perhaps CR 8 has a function similar to PreviousValue.

Anyone else have a quick solution for fernando?
