I'm writing a report that summarizes what region sales have occurred through the year, however for some reason some of the records being pulled don't reflect a region on the report. The region field is pulled using a parameter. The table the data is pulled from contains several records with the same id, however only one of those records have this region field populated.

I've tried using a not is null to not pull those records, tried onfirstrecord and lastly tried using variables. I think what I really need is to state that if id=id and field is null then check next field where id=id, problem is, I'm not sure how to word this... Help Please
 
Make region a formula:

if not(isnull({table1.region})) then {table1.region}
else
if not(isnull([table2.region])) then [table2.region}
else
" Region Not Found
 
Hmmm, that didn't solve my problem. After the records are pulled they are then grouped by country, that is where it's not pulling into any group.
 
Nevermind, I figured it out!!! thanks for your help!
