CHAPTER 9 Filtering, Sorting, and Grouping Rows
DataWindow Designer User’s Guide 269
Suppressing repeating values
When you sort on a column, there might be several rows with the same value
in one column. You can choose to suppress the repeating values in that column.
When you suppress a repeating value, the value displays at the start of each
new page and, if you are using groups, each time a value changes in a higher
group.
For example, if you have sorted employees by department ID, you can suppress
all but the first occurrence of each department ID in the DataWindow object:
❖ To suppress repeating values:
1 Select Rows>Suppress Repeating Values from the menu bar.
The Specify Repeating Value Suppression List dialog box displays:
2 Drag the columns whose repeated values you want to suppress from the
Source Data box to the Suppression List box, and click OK.
