     Posted: 27 Jun 2008 at 6:02am
Hi all, I am using Crystal XI.  I am trying to use the Display String formula under Field Format to set a field to "NONE" if no records are selected.  Anyone done this before?
 
I tried doing an IF statement using the record selection formula and ELSE set to "NONE".  I just get blanks.  Also tried defining a variable as "NONE" but that didn't help.
 
I tried using the RecordNumber function checking for #0, 1 etc. still doesn't give me what I want.  
 
Any ideas how to put something on the report if no records are selected?

You can use this function to test if there are no records in a report:
IsNull(Count({table.yourfield}));

Create a text box that says "No Records" and suppress it when this formula is false (or do something similar that you like).

My Encyclopedia book is filled with tips and tricks for creating reports. You can find out more about my books at Amazon.com or reading the Crystal Reports eBooks online.
