formatting formulas in reagrd to "self"

[cmpgeek]

hey yall - i know there is a way to set up a formatting code where crystal looks at the field and, based on what the total is, performs the formatting. what i am wondering is if the is a way to write the formula where instead of typing a specific field into the formula it couls say "self" or something. that way it could be applied to several fields at once, and the formula would look at the field it is attached to - not the one that was in the original formula... (i hope this is making sense)

i have a report that breaks things down in 15 min increments... it does this for the whole 24 hour period, so we are looking at almost 100 seperate entries... i am just wondering if there is an easier way to do this than having to go in and manipulate each field...

thanks in advance...

Not really.

You probably don't need 100 entries on the report, I think that you're suffering from a larger problem which is more architecture based.

15 minute increments can just be one field.

Please consider posting your environment, example data and expected output, inclusive of the custom formatting, I suspect that some design changes will simplify everything.
