Pagenumber and totalpagecount is always shown 1/1 for .txt format.

Question

When I export my report in .txt format somehow the pagenumber/totalpagecount is always shown 1/1.So I had placed formulae as page_num :-
whileprintingrecords;
if recordnumber  = 1  then 1
else if recordnumber mod 10 = 0 then int ( recordnumber / 10 ) + 1;
and a formulae for total page count as :-
if isnull ( {rpt.account_number} ) then 1
else if count ({rpt.account_number} ) <= 10 then 1
else if count ( {rpt.account_number} ) > 10 then   int ( count ( {rpt.account_number} ) / 10 ) + 1;
This formulae worked fine for all reports except 1 where we required to suppress some of the records in the report according to a flag.
example : there are 10 accounts of flag a,b,c,d.We needed to show only those flags having 'a' or 'b' flag.The rest of the records were suppressed as in the summary of report only count(c) and count(d) was required.Display of these records were not needed. But the total page count and page number formulae failed in this case as it also took into consideration those accounts too which are to be suppressed.
What alternative can be applied? Is there anyway that the problem of pagenumber/totalpagecount always showing 1/1 for .txt export can be solved.If not what change can be done in the formulae I have written?Any completely different suggestion is also acceptable.Only the criteria is that it is compulsory for me too export the report in .txt format.
Please suggest!!

Hi Som
Can you try using the following formula:
totext(PageNumber,0,'') & "/" & totext(TotalPageCount,0,'')
and for the suppression condition, just right click on the formula and give the suppression condition for "Suppress" option.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks
