Singele value for a break column

We have XiR2 with SQL 200.

We have a simple 6 column report with a break on the2nd column.We need to display the 5th column thats a measure only once for every value of the 2nd column.Ie if the measure value for that column is the same trhen display only once.

Could you try to explain what you want to do in a different way. I am afraid I couldn’t visualise what you are after from the initial description. It helps if you can provide an example.

Thanks for your time to get clarity.What i needis to only display the cvalue of a measure column once when it has 2 values for the same column on which a break is applied.eg

abc 123 20
def 123 20
erf 234 40

should come up as

abc 123 20
def
erf 234 40

I have a break in the second column(with value 123,234)

Isn’t it incorrect, because the actual value is 40 if we dont consider the first dimension, it has splitted the 123 values in to 2 (20’s) because the first dimension has 2 different values abc and def.

Thanks.
no ,20 is the value for the 2nd column and irrecpective of the 1st dimension we need the measure column value only once for the break

I am still stuck with finding a solution.Appreciate on any ideas.Thanks

You may apply a break on the measure then on the dimension which will eventually display only the cv for that dimension .

define a variable as

Sum([C_Column]) ForAll ([A_Column])

use this as the 3rd column

then set break on 2nd and 3rd columns. This should give you the desired result.
