Suppress group on a second condition (duplicate last names in group)

[Former Member]

I have a fairly simple report, that I need to complicate. The report currently shows employees that have duplicate bank acct numbers. Data is grouped by bank acct#, and I have this in the group-selection formula:

Count ({EMACHDEPST.EBNK_ACCT_NBR}, {EMACHDEPST.EBNK_ACCT_NBR}) > 1

This checks for bank account groups that have more than a single entry.

Then I have this in the Group footer suppression:

If Count({EMACHDEPST.EBNK_ACCT_NBR}) < 2 then TRUE

And that suppresses the bank account group for those that have less than 2 entries.

Report uses 2 tables, employee and bank account. Just for background, generally these groups will be a couple that is using the same bank account - we are a school division so we have many married employees. So usually there will be a group header (bank acct# and the count of duplicates), and then the 2 detail rows (emp#, name, bank account). There are a few groups that have 3 rows (I guess 2 parents and a child).

So if there are 2 or more employees with the same bank account, they are printed.

THAT works.

Now the complication. User wants to suppress the group if the last name is the same. So say I have this...

12345 Jones Adam 1122334455
54321 Jones Mary 1122334455

Bank acct 1122334455 2

32156 Smith John 998877
5462 White Sara 998877

Bank acct 998877 2

So I would want to suppress the first group - the Jones - due to the duplicate name.

Racking my brain here but I'm stumped. How do I suppress the group for a duplicate name within the group?
Appreciate your help!!

So, add the Last Name as shown in my screen shot?

Hi,

The best way to do this is to create another group based on Last Name if you can. Then do the suppress if the Last Name is > 1. You'll still need to group on Account and Emp#. You just need to create a new group underneath for the Last Name.

Hope this helps,
