Suppressing Booleans on Crystal Reports

Question

Simple question, yet i haven't found the answer.

Anybody here know how to suppress a boolean field from displaying a "False" ?

For example in my report, I have fields that say True or False...i'd rather just see a True and have crystal reports suppress the "False"

Anybody know how to do that?

Answer 1

You could create a formula for your field. The formula would look something like this:

if {yourfieldname} then "True" else " "

UPDATE: It doesn't matter if you already have a formula. Just do this instead:

if {field1} = true OR {field2} = true OR {field3} = true then "True" else " "

Also, if {field1} is a boolean, then writing

if {field1}

is easier and more clear than writing

if {field1} = true

Answer 2

Use the Suppress formula for that field (available by clicking the X+1 button on the field object's properties dialog next to Suppress), and make it say :

NOT {FieldValue}

This will suppress the field if it is False and show it if it is True.
