	I had the above mentioned condition placed in the suppress formula for every month summary. Its not suppressing any of the months. Am thinking in this angle..... how would it know to place which month in the ({@Extract})?? Edited by Nav522 - 03 Mar 2011 at 9:27am

	I am assuming that the @extract is the formula to use to get the month number as text and it is used in each of your summaries, is that correct? if so it the formula I gave you converts that from text to a number and compares it to the currentmonth number. If it is > then it should suppress. What exactly is the @extract formula? Also have you considered just using a crosstab to do this for you?

Yes thats correct What exactly is the @extract formula? Right(left({Command.CPS_REQUEST_BATCH_ID},8),2) well i wud think the formula should suppress the fields. Am not sure why it didnt do that. Well anywayz thanks for the idea. I will try to look into the cross tab. Thanks a bunch

	ahhh... that won't work because that formula is referenceing row level data and so in the footer only references the last row in the report. depending on what you are summing a more elegant solution might be to convert your data into a date field and use a crosstab that will only show what exists.

	also the ct will dynamically grow over the year so make sure you leave enough room for all 12 months.
