Filtering an outer group based on values of an inner group

Posted on Nov 21, 2011 at 09:02 PM 7 Views

Hi,

I guess the best way to explain this is through example.

Let's say I have a report showing sales reps. I only want the sales reps who have completed at least one order in FL. But I still want to show all of that sales reps orders regardless of state. Basically, I'm grouping by SalesRep, then by State.

Is something like this possible without subreports?

Thank you.

    hi plynch,

    sure thing...

    1) create a new formula with syntax like if = 'FL' then 1

    2) put the new formula on the details section

    3) right click on the new formula and choose Insert Summary

    4) make the summary a Sum and at the Sales Rep level

    5) go to Report > Selection Formula > Group and then create a filter having the new sum you created > 0

    cheers,

    jamie
