2006 IR Open Dicussion Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 By: Nick - nick_nz conditional field display 2006-02-27 12:38 I have a simple report - a phone list - where people have several phone numbers. I want to display the mobile number if present, otherwise display the land line. These are two seperate fields in the DB. What is the best way to do this?

For the usage, see here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/other.html Basically, you will want your variable or textfield expression to look something like this: $F{mobile_number} == null ? $F{land_line} : $F{mobile_number} That basically says if the mobile number field is null, then return the land line field, otherwise return the mobile number field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
