     Posted: 26 Sep 2008 at 8:05am
I have a field in a table that holds multiple dates per name. However, I only want to display the dates that are in the future.
 
Can anyone tell me how to write that formula? I tried using a formula with that like this
 
(Field) > Today's Date
 
but when I previewed the report it showed the field as stating false & the names appeared multiple times.
 
BTW - I am using Crystal XI
 
Thanks
Mike

Does the field itself hold multiple dates or are the multiple records for the same name, each with a different date?

So, it's a string field?  What is the delimeter between the dates?

I want to show the dates beginning from today forward.
 
The date is formatted like this: 12:00:00AM

I understand what you want to do but I don't yet have enough information to be able to help you with it.  By "delimited" I meant, how do you determine where one date ends and another begins? Please include a sample of the data that's in the field.
