Suppres a Field when another field has Data in it.

[bryan3473]

Hi all,
I was wondering how to suppress a default description field that will always have data where there is a alternate longer description available on some of our items than the default one.

So on some items it’s like this

1111 default
1111111 extended description

but another part description might be

2222 default
but no extended description.

So whenever there is extended i want to supress default.

Format the field Default > Suppress > x + 2
and enter:

NOT(IsNull({ExtendedDescription}) OR {ExtendedDescription} = "")

Your sample makes it appear that the description field you want to suppress is one instance of the same field that provides the extended description. Is this the case? If so, what is the groupfield for which you want to see the description?
