<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
HELLO...<br />
<br />
Crystal is driving me nuts :-)<br />
<br />
I'm trying to use a formula...something like the following...where I'm testing if the *PREVIOUS* record is a null...for Suppression purposes:<br />
<br />
isnull(Previous({@1A_Item+<wbr />Locn}))<br />
<br />
BUT...every time I attempt this...Crystal is barking with that silly &quot;...A field is required here...&quot; error message. &nbsp;What am I doing wrong? &nbsp;I've tried this numerous different ways. &nbsp;I *KNOW* that the result of that Calculated field...*IS*...indeed...a NULL value (in certain circumstances, based on the underlying data)...and that's both fine and accurate. &nbsp;I simply want to SUPRESS...based on this condition...and, yes, the *PREVIOUS* function is important here.<br />
<br />
PLEASE HELP! &nbsp;I'm stuck. &nbsp;As always, I appreciate anyone's assistance :-)...Thanks!...Mark

Help With Crystal isnull Syntax

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.
