Filtering in a report
November 26, 2018 02:41PM
Hi all,

I'd like to know if it is possible to filter a report on a boolean/integer field. I'm using "if field = 1 then result True". This does not work.
Has filtering in a report any restrictions ??

Thanks for any help.


Best regards,

Aad

Hi Aad,

Try with HFilter(....) in the Opening report section.

Hi Vassilis,

Thanks for the.tip. Hfilter(File, "Field=0") works, but Field=1 doesn't.

Hi Aad,

what type of Field is?
If it's boolean or numeric then should work.
If it's string then try this:
HFilter(File, StringBuild("Field = '%1'", Value)) // enclose the %1 in single quotes

Hello Vassilis,

It's a boolean field, value 0 or 1. Filtering on 0 OK. Filtering on 1 not OK.
Strange product this ReportWriter. Setup such a filter in the Filter segment doesn't work at all.
I made a new report from scratch. Same result.

Dear Aad,

in my opinion it's better to work with Query, as i do most of times.

Hi Aad,

Use a query; if my report doesn't report all the items of a file, then I always use a query to filter the report results.

Regards,
Darren.
