My situation is: I have the report with a group and my doubt is: How I can construct a counter variable ignoring the group, for example: In my report: ---------- band group header ------------------- 1 - data 01 2 - data 02 3 - data 03 ------------- band detail ---------------------- 6 - data 06 7 - data 7 8 - data 8 This occurred because the data 4 and 5 is occulted by the grouping. And I need a continuous counter...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, etc. I use this for change the background-styles in the text elements. Help me, please.
