silver background for null return

I have XI.

My report needs an 'author' and a 'date' in each page footer.

These fields are retrieved from an SP, and have to be formatted as follows :

Font : Color : Black, &

Border : Background : Silver.

But when spaces or Nulls are returned from the SP for these 2 fields, their print display is blank (i. e. white )

How do I get all Silver in the display, when no return from the SP ?

    You have to create a formula like so: Formula Name = "AuthorName"If isnull({Field.Name}) Then " " Else {Field.Name} Then put the formula "AuthorName" in the page footer and format it. The same would work for the Date:Formula Name = "AuthorDate"If isnull({date.field}) Then " " else ToText({Date.Field}, "mm/dd/yy") I hope this helps.dee7231
