Filter results in query depending on value radio button

Question

Hi all,
I have a "y/n" radio button group along with other fields and when submitted, you should be able to see a certain column depending on what the user chooses.
For "y" all records should be displayed, where the column value is not null and for "n" only the records where the column value is null should be displayed.
I've tried with conditional display for the column, but still get the records where the value is null in my report for "y".
Can anyone help me fix this?
kind regards,
Cleo

Answer 1

What you want is
AND {CONDTION}
AND {CONDTION}
AND {COLUMN FILTER CONDITION}so it should be
WHERE
AND {CONDITION 1}
AND {CONDITION 2}
AND  (
          ( :ITEM_NAME = 'Y' AND <COLUMN NAME> IS NOT NULL )
          OR ( :ITEM_NAME = 'N' AND <COLUMN NAME> IS NULL )
       )Hope you have understood the reason why the column filter have been made together into an additional clause , rather than adding them them directly.
If you are confused about the logical structure of the query, try forming them into a sentence which you would be explaining the requirement.
