How to Suppress Decimal Zeros?

Question

How can I define a numeric data field to suppress decimal zeros?
Example:
A Numeric DB field is defined with 1 decimal place, however when there are no real decimals the Crystal still displays unnecessary decimal zeros:
3 -> 3.0
I request your assistance.

Answer 1

Create a formula with:
if remainder({database.field},truncate({database.field})) = 0 then
totext({database.field},0)
else
totext({database.field},1);
This will convert the number to text.  If you have to do any calculations then just use the original {database.field} in your calculations.
Also when you display just one place after the decimal and if the database field has two decimal places, then the totext function will round the value up or down.
