RE: Report Writer Hide a Calculated Field
Hi
Just create a calculated field that looks at the field that contains an R and either returns the data you want to see or an empty string. You can use use the hide when empty option to stop date and numeric fields showing with zero or empty values.
You can use the RW_Pos report writer function I added to v7.0 of GP to check if there is an R in the string. It is a wrapper for the Dexterity pos() function.
{-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RW_Pos
Returns a numeric value indicating the starting position of a string within a string.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------}
function returns integer OUT_pos;
in string IN_target; { The string you want to search in }
in string IN_search; { The string you want to search for }
in integer IN_start; { The position at which the search will start in the target string }
OUT_pos = pos(IN_target, IN_search, IN_start);
