I am using Infomaker 11.5 to create a report with multiple columns. I
would like to compare two columns and if the amounts in each of those
rows are the same, I would like to filter those rows out. I can use
the Rows>Filter dialog box and enter the formula: column 2 <> column
7 which works fine except that I would like to NOT filter out those
rows where column 2 = .00 and column 7 = .00. I would like those rows
to stay.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
ebartscher

Hello;

Just add a NOT to the filter ...

NOT column 2 <> column > 7

Sorry;

I should of read that more carefully ... I would code that as follows:

(column2 <> column7) and ( (column2 = .00) or (column 7 = .00) )

I interpret your statement slighlty differently than Chris. I would use:

(column2 <> column7) or (column2 = 0 and column 7 = 0 )

I got the results I wanted with this one: (column2 <> column7) or
(column2 = 0 and column 7 = 0 ) I was surprised that they both didn't
work. I do appreciate both of your replies. It is a rather complex
report to have to trash because of not being able to filter it.

Thanks again,
embartscher
