Show Suppressed detail on drill down

[infinitizon]

Hi all,
I'm using crystal reports in VS2008.
I grouped the report based on a field (department field). I also want to show two formats of the report. A summarized version (Showing only the group headings and group totals) and a detailed version showing the details as well as the group headers.

I successfully showed the two by putting a boolean parameter (called "Show Detail Drilldown") then in the details section I put the parameter field.

The version where I show both details and groups together works well. However,in the summarized version, I cant drill down to the details.

I hope you all understand my question. Any help is appreciated

Let's assume your parameter has three options:

Detail
Summary
Summary with Drilldown

You should not check "suppress" in the section expert for details, but instead use a formula in the x+2 area:

{?Report Level}="Summary" or
(
{?Report Level}="Summary with Drilldown" and
drilldowngrouplevel = 0
)

Well, after much toil I came up with this solution in the details "Section Expert"


if DrillDownGroupLevel=1 and {?Show Detail drilldown} = true then
false
else
{?Show Detail drilldown}


I hope this helps someone else

Thanks Lbass, However you probably did not get my question right. Well, I came up with the solution above

Thanks.

I didn't know your actual parameter options, but I believe mine would have worked if you had set it up that way.
