Hi Satya

In theproperty palette of the fiedl there isone Parameter called "Value if Null".
Just make it to - 0 and it will be taken care off.

hi atul,

I did as u said and could get 0 where the value is null in database,but how will i show 0 where data retrieved is nothing.

ex: i am retrieving no. of point in 2003 and 2002 for code xyz,here there are no records registered in 2002 under xyz n its values shows r blank on report n i cannot get 0 using as u said

what is the mistake that i might have done?

guide me

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There is no mistake done by you.
You cannot show 0 if no matching data exists as the repeating frame on which your Feilds are placed will nver format if you do not have any data returned by your query.

What you may do in this case is to Put Dummy feilds over the original feilds with initial value as 0.
Add format triggers to these dummy feilds so that they are visible only if the original feild is null.

HTH

If you have a Matrix Report then .
If whatever point is your Value column in Matrix
the behin the matrix Frame put one dumy field with Value Zero and size (Width height ) same as your
point field.
SO wehenever your Point Field has no value then it zero will appear on its own.

If repeating frame normal report then
whatever Mr Himanshu idea is the best.
