	I am running Crystal XI and I need to change a field on a report from a number to text based on a condition. The number field in the database is either a zero or a 1. On the report I would for the zero to display as YES and for the 1 to display as NO. Is this done via the HIGHLIGHT expert or the Formula Workshop?

	Field Explorer formula field right click select new *if table.field=0 then 'YES' else if table.field=1 then 'NO' else 'ERROR'* Or place the field on the report right click on it select format field Common tab display string formula box *if currentfieldvalue=0 then 'Yes' else if currentfieldvalue=1 then 'No' else 'Error'*
