Topic: page header display problem Posted: 11 Aug 2010 at 2:26am
i have a formula which has to be displayed at the first page of the report(only once when report is getting generated) so i display it on the report Header. This result from this formula can grow more than one page.But the problem here is if the result from the formula grows more than one page then the page header is not displayed in the second page on the top rather it is displayed after the results from the formula gets completed suppose the results gets completed in the middle of second page then the page header gets displayed and then the remaining detail section starts.But the page header has to be displayed on top for each and every page.How to do this?Is there any design solution for this problem.

why not suppress the report header. If the page header and the report header have the same text, hide the report header and have the page header do all the displaying.

Thanks for the reply lockwelle, Here i want the results of the formula to be displayed only once in the report but if i use the page header then the results of the formula might be displayed for each and every page.Is there any way to display it only once in the report using page headers

if you only want it once, then the report header is the place to put it.
It shouldn't affect the page header. I can see the first page header being affected, but you can just put a 'print page before' in the section expert. Then you should only see it once and everything should display as desired...I think.

A report header should be used if at all you would like your header to appear only once in your report. (it is a best practise)
However, if you insist on using Page header only.. then right click on the page header and select Format Text.. write a conditional suppress formula like pagenumber > 1;
