Inset a blank section/line?

[Bennie47250]

Using version 7.0

In the detail section we are listing the name of our products, and then we have a catchall category of "other" (there can be several others on the same page). After each occurance or the word other, we would like to add a blank section/line. My first thought to do this I would need to insert a detail b section and set it to appear only if the last product printed was other.

Is this the best way to do this? And how would I do this?

Thanks
Bennie

You must have a formula something like:

if {table.productname} in ["A","B","C"} then
{table.productname} else
"Other"

Because detail_b is reading the same row of data as detail_a, you can just suppress detail_b in the section expert (where you can also insert the b section) by using a formula like this:

{@prodnameformula} <> "Other"
