I am new to Cystal reports.

I have a formula field which basically converts a number to date.

The formula field does not display if the previous record has same value.

Any idea what is missing?

enter image description here

Thanks

8-digit numeric format YYYYMMDD Datevalue

WhilePrintingRecords;

NumberVar input := {table.StartDate}; // or whatever your field name is

// This line checks for a minimum value, any value will work.

If input < 19590101 then Date (1959, 01, 01) else

Date ( Val (ToText (input, 0 , "") [1 to 4]),

Val (ToText (input, 0 , "") [5 to 6]),

Val (ToText (input, 0 , "") [7 to 8]) )
