How to supress

Question

Hi All,
I have created one report in crystal report using Hierarchy, the op of the  requires as bottom up approach.
Eg: Suppose we are having Media at the top most Hierarchy, bellow Media we have International Media and National Media. Bellow Internation Media we have Int Photographer and Int Press and below National Media we have Nat Photographer and National Press.
Our Required OP: Total Count of  Int Photographer and Int Press, below that we can have total count of International Media which will have the total of both Int Photographer and Int Press, same   will be applied for National Media. anf at the end We will be having Total Count Of media which will have total of International Media and national media. I'm able to achive every thning what i have mentioned. But i'm having one bug in the report.
My sql is written in form of parent child relation ship format(A category can be parent of another category and that category can be parent of another category). I'm grouping my according to category_id and Hierarchy is done based on Cat_parent_id. Through this i'm able to achive the hierarchy. I'm making count for each category and displayong it in grp footer. so its showing me the proper op. But parent category dont have any value its showing me the value 0. I need to suppres it, but when i'm suppresing it is suppressing those Parent also which have child as by default it will have 0 value but in summarize field it will have total count of its child. I want to supress only the those category those have count as 0.

Answer 1

sometimes you can do a conditional group record selection to surpress the data.
report
edit selection formula
group
if count > 0 then true
this should retreive only records on the group level that have a value greater than zero
if not you can conditionally surpress the display formula by formatting the field
