Hey everyone!

I'm creating a calculation in Crystal. It keeps saying that a "Boolean is
required here". I'm not sure what to put in as a Boolean.

My calculation is basically: "If an invoice is open show me the sales minus
the invoice amount, otherwise show me just the sales"

This is the calculation: IIF ({InvcHead.OpenInvoice} =
'y',(({OrderDtl.OrderQty} * {OrderDtl.UnitPrice}) - {InvcDtl.ExtPrice}),
({OrderDtl.OrderQty} * {OrderDtl.UnitPrice}))

I believe that it needs to be where I have my little 'y' letter. But, I'm
not sure what a Boolean is and why I need it.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

How would I set up a parameter/formula in Crystal for it to only include alpha characters? We are setting up our unattended machine time as alpha character employees. So I only want the report to pull in unattended employees with alpha characters as their ID.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Wendy,

If your unattended IDs are something like "M25" and normal employee IDs
"39", it seems to me that you could just use "Select Expert", add
EmployeeNum (or whatever the actual field name) formula: > "99999999". This
should do the trick because in ASCII collation sequences, Alpha characters
sort after numeric characters.

Wendy this might work numeric text function. Look at the sample formula at
the bottom of the help file. I would personally be inclined to create a user
defined field or another unused field and use that in my filter.

If NumericText ({file.FIELD}) Then
ToNumber ({file.FIELD})
Else
0


A variation of the above example may work for you.

In the Record Selection Formula include a line like

NumericText ({WrkCenter.WCCode}) = False

This would exclude all records that are completely numeric in nature.

Is that what you wanted?
