How to make same following values invisible

rbuser

Hello,
I'm programming a Report, which shows me the bookings (Comming, leaving,
break, ...) for every day in a month like this:
Date Bookings What? Hours of Working extra work
01.04.2011 Fr 15:00 - 16:00 Work 01:00 1,00 -07,00 -7,00
02.04.2011 Sa
03.04.2011 So
-----------------------------------------------------------------
04.04.2011 Mo
05.04.2011 Di
06.04.2011 Mi 08:00 - 13:00 Work 08:00 8,00
13:00 - 14:00 Break
14:00 - 17:00 Work
07.04.2011 Do 09:00 - 18:00 Work 09:00 9,00 01:00 1,00

My question is, how can I implement, if I have more bookings on a day,
that only the first date in my case 06.04.2011 will be shown, the others
dates should be hide.

Hi David,

Try setting the SuppressRepeatedValues property of the DBText that holds
the date to True.

Hi Nico,
First I delete all code out of my variable. There is now only Value :=
DataPipeline1['Date']
After this I set the proberty SuppressRepeatedValues (True) of the variable.
But when I run my report only the 01.04.2011 is shown, all other dates
are invisible. Thats the first problem.
The second problem is, how can I check in a variable if the next value
is the same, to make some values invisible
if I ask, "if variable1.SuprresRepeatedValues = True then
begin
Date.Visible := false;
Hours of Working.Visible := False;
extra work.Visible := False;"
it won't be work, because in this case I check only, if the Property is
true?

Hi David,

Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? The
Variable.SupressRepeatedValues feature is working as designed with the
latest version.

I'm a bit unclear about why you are using a TppVariable in the first
place. Why not simply assign the Date field to a DBText with
SuppressRepeatedValues set to True. The same could be done for any
other fields you wish to suppress.

Hi Nico,
now I use a normal DBlabel which shows me the date.
The SuppressRepeatedValues property works fine.
Further on I don't know how to set the working hours and the extra work
invisible, if the date is the same as the prior date value.

Hi David,

Are these values the same as well? If so, the SuppressRepeatedValues
property should work for them too. ReportBuilder does not have a
built-in feature to hide multiple components based on a single value
repeating. In order to do this you will need to perhaps take complete
control over the hiding of the components based on the previous value of
a field.
