can I tell if a section is suppressed?

[NTSGuru]

I want to make a Summary visible only if a certain Group is suppressed (based on another formula). Is there any way to determine if a Group Section is suppressed?

TIA

I would think that the answer lies in using the formula you used to suppress the group. Use that same formula to conditionally suppress your summary.
But then, it's probably more complicated than that.

Yeah, I can use the formula, but the problem lies in the fact that I'm using many different suppressions at different places and different times, and rather than having to reuse formulas, it would have been much simpler to be able to discern if a group was suppressed or not.

Sorry, there are no boolean funtions that test the current section for suppression. Ken Hamady

You could make up a formula that returns a boolean, and use the result of the formula to suppress/show the group, and also use the same formula result to suppress/show the summary. Malcolm Wynden
