No doubt a simple question, but I can't work out the syntax.<br />
<br />
I have a formula that asks if a field has data, then print a text line with another data field within the text. Exact example is:<br />
<br />
if {CAC_database_field1} &lt;&gt;&nbsp;0.00 &nbsp;then<br />
'A part payment of {CAC_Database_field2} has been allocated'<br />
<br />
I have tried splitting the text, inserting () around the datafield but can't seem to pick the right syntax.<br />
<br />
Can someone put me on the straight and narrow.<br />
<br />
Thanks

How do I insert a field in the middle of a text string in a formula

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
