I need help writing a formula in Crystal.

If the quantity is a whole number, I want the whole number to display with no decimal places.

If the quantity contains a fraction, then I want the fraction to display.

For instance,
If quantity = 5 then display 5 ---- not 5.00
If quantity = .25 then display .25
If quantity = 6.75 then display 6.75

Thank you.

format your value as text and display it as text.  I don't think that this can be done as a number as there is no conditional formatting for the number.

Try this:

Right click on the field and select Format Field.
Select the Number tab
click on Customize
UNder the Number Tab add a formula to the Decimals as:
if right(totext({table.numberfield},2),2)="00" then 0 else 2

I guess I stand corrected...there is conditional formatting for numbers. :(

Boy, I have looked at that tab, thousands of times and it never registered that there were formula buttons there.
 
Silly Me.
