Hello. Absolute beginner with Crystal Reports here. Running Crystal Reports XI.

Short version:

I have two groups. How do I suppress the first group (outer most) if all of the sub groups are suppressed?

Long version:

I'm creating a report for the school I work for. They need to know which students have absences greater than 5 for the semester and in which classes.

Currently I have the report setup so that the report is grouped by student and sub-grouped by course.

In the selection expert I selected only the attendance dates where attendance is "A" for absent.

I created a formula field that counted all of the fields per course group and placed it in the group header to save space. Then I hid the details sections.

If the count is less than 5 I suppress the course sub-group.

In some cases this leaves the student group standing alone. I would like to hide the student group (outer most) if all of the course groups (inner most) inside of it have all been hidden.

Can I do this?

Thank you for the reply. Sorry I forgot I asked this question. *sheepish laugh*

EDIT:
Okay I'm going to count this one solved.

My solution was to simply turn everything into a string that is printed into the Footer of Group 1. And it seems to be working quite well.

Not the most elegant but it works.

Thanks again.
