As far as I can tell:

Unfortunately, there's no simple way of doing that. You can't use NVL in query (because, certain combinations of MGR and DEPTNO simply do not exist - they aren't null, they don't exist at all! You can't create a formula column which will return 0 for the same reason. You can't use "Value if NULL" field's property.

Therefore, you'll have to do it manually.

Go to Layout editor and create text item (using the Text tool) which will display the 0 digit:

/forum/fa/7549/0/

Send that text field to back:

/forum/fa/7550/0/

Move text field over the F_total field:

/forum/fa/7551/0/

Now you need to relocate it - it must be under the "Frequency R_G_deptno:R_G_mgr"; do that using the Layout menu, but this time "Move forward" (as many times as necessary - in our case, 3 times). The result must be as following:

/forum/fa/7552/0/

Final step: paint the original F_total field with white color:

/forum/fa/7553/0/

/forum/fa/7554/0/

When "total" contains a value, white F_total field will overwrite text field (B1). When there's no value, text field will be displayed on the screen.

Run the report; this is the result:

/forum/fa/7555/0/

I guess you'll want to remove red color as well as border line (but that's piece of cake).

Impressive, and depressing that there isn't a simpler solution.
