Plz reply urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!displaying the blank space with $0

Question

Hi all,
Plz help Its very urgent!!!!!!
I have a requirement to show the data of consecutive two months in the report with the difference of two months in another column "variance".
ex: mm1/yyyy , mm2/yyyy, variance = mm1/yyyy-mm2/yyyy
I have made a new selection "&MNTH / Amount" , where in it calculates the prior month with the amount. On the new selection i need to make the amount = amount*-1 and display $0 whenever there is a blank space.
I tried achieving this with a customer exit, but could not succeed.
the final output should show
mm1/yyyy = prior month amount
mm2/yyyy = current month amount
amount needs to show negative value
the blank space should be filled with $0
Thanks
rani

Answer 1

hi
to show negative values for amount
Select mm1/yyyy & mm2/yyyy one by one .
Then in the properties hit the DISPLAY tab.
Then look for SIGN CHANGE.
Use "REVERSE SIGN"
do it for both keyfigures
Secondly,
Hit QUERY from the menu and then select properties
Go to Value Display tab
Here select Zero instead of space or Zero with currency unit....
Try following options until u get required output.
Let me know.
