Example:
   Have a database of hobbies and only want to show the crystal report field if the hobby is equal to golf.

Works fine unless the individual has more than 1 hobby.

id1 Golf
id1 Bowling
id2 Golf

Suppression:
{ATTRIBUTE_FULL.ATTRTYPE} <> 'Golf' 

So ID1 field is suppressed but ID2 is not because there are 2 records for that ID and 1 is <> 'Golf'

So why don't we try another method and you say what you want to see. It sounds like you may have your suppression in the group footer or header and not in the details section, but I think details would be the preferred area if what you want to see is listed on the bottom.

id1 Golfing
id1 Bowling
id1 Surfing
id2 Bowling
id3 Bowling
id3 Surfing
id3 Golfing


Which Data above do you want output in the report.

id1 Golfing
id3 Golfing

YOu can group on ID
set a formula to flag the groups that have a record of golf
if field like '%golf%' then 1
sum this at the group footer
sum(@flag,id)
any group >0 canbe removed in the group select or suppressed using
sum(@flag,id)>0
