hi,
i have created a report in report builder 6i and columns are as under

debit credit checkno voucherno balance
1000 2000 2121 111 60000
0 222 222 222 54554

so if the first column(debit) is zero then i want to have the value of balance from previous row in it just like as under

debit credit checkno voucherno balance
1000 2000 2121 111 60000
6000 222 222 222 54554

all the columns are being retrieve through formula column
except debit(column).

i would be greatful to you.

thanks in advance,

anas jamil

I am not sure.. maybe you can search for Placeholder column. It may help

Global Variables may help...

Save the balance in a global variable when every record is fetched. if the value of debit is 0 then assign debit the global variable.

thanks once again for the reply.i have tried to sort out the problem through placeholder now the condition is that i have an extra column and things are like this.

debit credit voucherno etc bal placeholder
222 222 333 092 1000 1000
213 345 234 434 2000 2000
0 234 333 322 3000 3000

now the question is i want to copy the value from placeholder
(previous one)and paste to the column debit where there is 0 only
just like as under

debit credit voucherno etc bal placeholder
222 222 333 092 1000 1000
213 345 234 434 2000 2000
2000 234 333 322 3000 3000

would be waiting for reply.

thanks in advance,
regards,

Hi

In Layout model, delete placeholder column so that it is not displayed in the report.

i have found the solution.

it is by creating an extra column in data base and by using
a trigger before report and applying an update query over there
