Reporting on first row of data on table

[betsbabe]

Alright, so here's the problem and for the life of me I can't figure it out:

Task: Creating a report that lists all of our medically disabled employees. Must be a single line report (i.e. can not group and then list underneath).

Problem: Some employees have more than one disability. This causes them to appear multiple times on the single-line report.

This is the table inside of my program that I am pulling from. This table is for a single employee. Notice how more than one disability is listed: (See bardistable.jpg below)

This is the results of my report when I run it in Crystal: (See reportresults.jpg below)

Somehow, I need to figure out a way to only show the first disability an employee has listed on their table. Like in employee 0077's case, I only want to see disability D02... not D04 and D05 too.

I DID find a solution to this by way of Section Expert > Suppress (No Drill-Down) > previous({hrpersnl.p_empno})={hrpersnl.p_empno}. But I can not use this formula because it causes my first employee to be suppressed for some reason.

Help please?

try placing the following on the first line of your formula

hi
I am thinking, what you are looking for, you'd have to redesign your query so it can retrieve data properly.
