The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Suppress Section in Crystal Reports using VB

Asked by Jon410 in Business Objects, Crystal Reports Software, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: crystal reports, crystal, vb, suppress

I have a report that contains a group header, a bunch of detail sections consisting of subreports, and a group footer.  In the group footer is a formula field named "Balance".  The value of this field depends on the results of the subreports contained in the detail sections.  What I need to do is to suppress the entire iteration (ie the group header, details, and footer) if this number is 0.  The problem that I've encountered is that the balance is not calculated until after the subreports have run.  As such, I figure the only way that I will be able to do this is to create a formula field in a group footer section below the balance field with an instruction in VB that conditionally hides the above group footer, detail sections, and the group header.  

In short, how do you use VB code to conditionally suppress a section based on the value of a formula field?
