Crystal reports - How to translate a group by with condition into a report - sql

Question

I have the following query
SELECT dbo_DIRIGEANTS.IU_DIR,
[1-CR-liste_Pixi].Siren,
[1-CR-liste_Pixi].Nic,
FROM [1-CR-liste_Pixi] LEFT JOIN dbo_DIRIGEANTS ON [1-CR-liste_Pixi].Siren = dbo_DIRIGEANTS.SIREN
GROUP BY
dbo_DIRIGEANTS.IU_DIR,
[1-CR-liste_Pixi].Siren,
[1-CR-liste_Pixi].Nic,
IIf([QUAL_JUR]>"0003","",Right([QUAL_JUR],1))
HAVING
((([1-CR-liste_Pixi].Siren) Not Like "p*")
AND (([1-CR-liste_Pixi].Nic) Not Like "p*")
AND ((dbo_DIRIGEANTS.REP_LEGAL)="1") AND (([1-CR-liste_Pixi].Nicsiège) Not Like "p*"))
ORDER BY IIf([QUAL_JUR]>"0003","",Right([QUAL_JUR],1));
What I'm interested is setting that part
GROUP BY dbo_DIRIGEANTS.IU_DIR,
[1-CR-liste_Pixi].Siren,
[1-CR-liste_Pixi].Nic,
IIf([QUAL_JUR]>"0003","",Right([QUAL_JUR],1))
And especially that part
IIf([QUAL_JUR]>"0003","",Right([QUAL_JUR],1))
Because of performance, I kept my tables and use CR's functions to deal with the condition part instead of creating a query.
I did the following:
Went to Formula selection and choose group
Chose the field I wanted
Put the formula
The error below popped out
It said my formula needs to be using boolean values.
To see if I was right, I've amended it that way IF {DIRIGEANTS.QUAL_JUR} > "0003" THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE. It worked.
TL;DR
Why I cannot do that in my expert group selection?
IF {DIRIGEANTS.QUAL_JUR} > "0003" THEN "" ELSE RIGHT({QUAL_JUR},1)
Thanks

Answer 1

Group selection should return Boolean but that doesn't mean you write true or false....it means you pass some thing to fields to perform job
IF {DIRIGEANTS.QUAL_JUR} > "0003"
THEN datasefield=""
ELSE database fled=RIGHT({QUAL_JUR},1)
This will do the job
Edit: Apologize as conditions are a bit confused for your requirement
Create formula and write below code
IF {DIRIGEANTS.QUAL_JUR} > "0003" THEN ""
ELSE RIGHT({DIRIGEANTS.QUAL_JUR},1)
Now go to insert group and select this formula and click ok. This will do the trick
