Conditional Label in Reports Margin

Question

dear friends, can I assign a conditional report label on its header margin. the values of label will be based on database fields and it will be determined by a database field. for example there r two tables, one contains values for label( say UNITS table having fields like Unit_Name, address, Phone#) and other one is INVOICE table whose invoice number will determine the values picked from UNITS table. e.g if Invoice_No is "1001" then unit_name and other values displayed in label will be "XYZ Corporation,N.Y,USA", else if invoice number is "2001" then label will be something like "ABC Corporation,WA,USA". I hope that I've given u a good understanding of my problem n u'll reply me quickly, thanx.

Hi,
It is possible to do this. Create a formula column that returns char. This should be in the query group. Make sure you have selected the fields on which the label value is based, in the report query. You can then use this column as your label.
The code will be something like
IF :invoice_no = '1001' THEN
RETURN 'XYZ';
ELSE
RETURN 'ABC';
END IF;
Hope this helps,
