Can someone help me with this formula. I am very new to Crystal and im migrating crystal report s to MS SSRS. Can you explain me what this formula is going ? and any suggestions on how to use this in SSRS??
 
 
 

if ({?ShowDetails}=-1) then
{VW_RPT_VOLUME_SUMMARY.TOTALBASEPRICE}
else
if Left ({VW_RPT_VOLUME_SUMMARY.ACCOUNTCODE},1 )="5" then
0
else
{VW_RPT_VOLUME_SUMMARY.TOTALBASEPRICE}

If the parameter called "ShowDetail" is 1 then display the total base price.  Otherwise, if the first character in the account code is "5" then display 0, else display the total base price.

my ssrs is a bit rusty, it is just vb.net, but i don't remember the convention for a parameter

if @parameterShowDetails = -1 then
 table.TotalBasePrice
else
  if table.AccountCode.ToString.SubString(0,1) = "5" then
     0
  else
     table.TotalBasePrice
   end if
end if
 
would seem more economical to say
if @parameterShowDetails = -1 or table.AccountCode.ToString.SubString(0,1) <> "5"  then
 table.TotalBasePrice
else
     0
end if

You're correct - that would be a more efficient way of writing the formula.
