     Posted: 16 Feb 2011 at 4:53am
Hi,
 
I have 2 addresses (created in a formula) e.g. @address1 & @address2.
 
Depending on a field's value depends on what address is displayed.
 
Can the following be done and how is it done.
 
1. Can a formula be in a formula e.g. if field = "New York" then @address1 else @address2
 
2. How do you hide a field e.g. if @address1 exists then don't display @address2
 
Thanks in advance.
 
I am new to Crystal Reports.
 
The version is 10.

If I have two field with different addresses and depending on what value is in another field depends what address I display.
 
Can I hide a field on top of another field.
 
e.g.
 
If value is null then display address1 field, if not null then display address2 field.
 
I hope this explains my problem better.

yes you can do this. I was trying to see your formula to make it  for you but the basic is to create a new formula field for display as:
if {table.field} = 'New York" then {@address1} else {@address2}
