2006 IR Open Dicussion Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 By: eric - greatmaster Displaying Customized text When No Data 2006-02-15 11:58 Hi, i have a report which includes subreports. When subreport queries doesn't return data i would like to display a text field (in master report) saying "No data for this section". The WhenNoData property of a subreport allows only three cases : BlankPage, Nopage or DetailSection but not a customized message. Any suggestion about this ? Thanks.

Just a guess... but it should work! xD By: Ionut Nedelcu - ionutned RE: Displaying Customized text When No Data 2006-02-17 01:01 We suggest you create a text field that displays your custom message only when your subreport has no data. Doing this might be a little tricky, so be careful: 1. Your subreport whenNoDataType attribute must be NoPages 2. Use the subreport return variables feature. Create an integer variable in the master report that will receive the value of REPORT_COUNT from the subreport. If this is null or zero, than the subreport contains no data and you should display your custom text. 3. Your custom text field must check the value of this variable in the text field expression itself, using the printWhenExpression won't work. Also, the textfield evaluation time must be band. 4. If the subreport has data, the textfield should return null and have the isBlankWhenNull attribute set to true. Let me know if you succeeded.
