I'm working on a report to show open jobs with a due date within a date range for a given department. The problem I'm running into results from poor reporting. An operation may have been completed just not reported. It then shows on the report even though it doesn't need to be. With that said, what I want to do is exclude a job if any of the proceeding operations have been completed.
 
I am very new to crystal and  can't seem to figure this one out. I know this isn't nearly enough info for anyone to help much, so any help would be appreciated.

YOu will have to explain your data and what that data means in terms of your condition of "exclude a job if any of the proceeding operations have been completed".

while I agree with DBlank, and you said it yourself, the description is vague, what I think you are looking for is where to filter out entries that are undesired.
 
If you are creating your report by selecting the tables in the report, then typically you would enter code to filter out unwanted rows.  This is typically done at Report/Selection Formulas/Record.
 
You would then enter the criteria for the records that you want to keep.  If this returns True for a record, it will be included in the report, if False, it will not.  CR will read through every record in the recordset that is originally selected.

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this. I'll do my best to explain a little more.
 
I'm working with 3 tables that apply.
'jobhead' - General job detail
'joboper' - General operation details
'jobopdtl' - Specific operation details
 
Each operations has a resource group id - 'jobopdtl.resourcegrpid'.
100 = Cutters, 200 = Benders and so on...
 
Each operation is represented by a sequence number 'joboper.oprseq'.
Puts the ops in order from first to last. 10, 20, 30...
 
My selection criteria looks like this..
 
dateVar range d1 := {?Start Date} to {?End Date};
{jobhead.duedate} = (d1)
and
{jobopdtl.resourcegrpid} = {?Department}
and
{jobhead.jobcomplete} = 0
and
{joboper.opcomplete} = 0
 
This gives me all jobs for a specified department that are due with in a date range and are open with an operation that is still open.
 
As I said my problem is from poor reporting. The job might show operation 10 still open even though 20 has been completed. They couldn't have completed 20 if 10 wasn't done first.
 
So, How can I exclude a job if the proceeding operations have been completed?
 
Hope this helps...

do you actually need to exclude it or do you just need to not show it?

As long as it doesn't show I'm happy.

group on resourcegrpid and order on oprseq

place your records to show in the group footer and it will only show the max one.
 
or
group on resourcegrpid and do a conditional suppression on the detail section
NOT(maximum(oprseq,resourcegrpid)) = oprseq
