[RESOLVED] Help in creating a formula

[aldrean]

I am on creating an Accounts Receivable report with Crystal Reports wherein I am using a Select Query coming from my Access database and vb.net 2005 as my front end application.Now, on the query there were fields PatientName and Company.Basically, a Patient would have a Company that would shoulder his/her charges, but on some occasions there was none so the charges would be named to themselves.Using this scenario, I made my report grouped by Company's name in ascending order and make a formula field named @Patient with the code goes like this:
'Crystal Report Code
if {AccountReceivable.Company}="" then {AccountReceivable.PatientName} else {AccountReceivable.Company}

My logic here is that when a Patient does not have a Company, then his/her name would be displayed on the report where this formula was situated.Seems that it is not behaving the way it should be.Am I missing somthing here guys?Hope you figure it out for me.Should you need further infos or an attachments perhaps, feel free to ask...Thanks.

The formula make by you is working properly then where you are getting the problem.Is it not working properly.
If your formula not working properly then pass a sql query that select those patient they have a company in this way there is no need of formula here.
Because you sorted the data directly with the query. :wave:

I finally find to make this work.I manage to check if the field is null first.Here's my revised code:'CrystalReport Code
if isnull({@Company}) then {AccountReceivable.Name} else {AccountReceivable.Company} where @Company is another formula with code that goes like this:'CrystalReport Code
if {AccountReceivable.Company}<>"" then {AccountReceivable.Company} else {AccountReceivable.Name}
