     Posted: 09 Aug 2013 at 9:28am
I have a report that I am writing that is targeting several different datasets.  To make this a litle easier I am using Subreports fo the info in each set. 
 
I am trying to add up the total quantity of what I have for equipment regardles of the serial number.  So in my subreport I am doing a sum on the quantity field. 
 
When my data is displayed anything that is "null" shows as a blank.  How can I get these blanks to show as a "0"?

Database field.

Which formula is giving Null values?
Could you post your formula in the thread so that it is easy to understand your problem..
and where you are showing that result (from Main to Sub or Sub to Main report)

I am showing the results from a sub report.  

I input the exact formula posted above and there are still blanks in the coming from the sub report.  I am also Suming the results from that formula.

I assume you are using a shared variable in a formul ain the subreport to pass back to the main report.

In the sub report variable formulas set the option inside each formula to 'use defualt value for nulls'
