How hide value on report if certain criteria exists

[SteveL5231]

I have a report which lists records sorted by part number and then by date.
Also on the report for each record is an inventory qty. So the first record
may show part #1 due 1/31/2010 and display an inventory qty of "5". If the
next record on the report is for the same part number, regardless of the due
date, I want the inventory qty to display "0". I realize this is a little
strange but it has to be displayed this way. I can't just hide dupes because
the next record for an entirely different part number may need to show the
accurate inventory qty.

To further explain...

The report now looks like:

Part # Due Date FG Qty
12345 1/31/2010 1
12345 2/10/2010 1

Any I want it to look like:

Part # Due Date FG Qty
12345 1/31/2010 1
12345 2/10/2010 0

Note the "0" because the FG Qty is already shown in the first record which
is for the same part number. In other words, if the part number is the same,
replace whatever qty is in FG Qty with a "0".

If you group on Part # you could
Add a new control to the detail section
== Name: txtLineCount
== Set its source to
=1
== Set its Running Sum to Over Group

Change the control for Inventory qty
== Set its source to
== Abs([FG Qty] * [txtLineCount]=1)
(Make sure your control has a name that is not the name of a field) - Just add
"txt" to the name of the existing control.

That should print the value of FG Qty on the first line of the group and then
zero for all remaining lines.
