Hey Everyone,<br />
<br />
I'm working in Crystal Reports 10, and I'm having some trouble with a selection formula using a wild card. I've tried a number of variations on the same formula, but can't get it to sort out the information properly...<br />
<br />
{CI_Item.ItemCodeDesc} &lt;&gt;&nbsp;&quot;Disco*&quot;<br />
<br />
The intent being to sort OUT any item with a description &quot;Discontinued&quot;.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to use wildcards in selection formulas like I'm aiming for above?

Hey Everyone,

{CI_Item.ItemCodeDesc} <> "Disco*"

Selection Formulas and Wild Cards

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.
