Question

I am a new Crystal Reports user and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for a formula that allows me to combine two fields and also make a text replacement (mapping project).

For example, I am looking to combine an address and city into one field so I use the formula:

{Location.Address}+","+" "+{Location.City}. 

This is usually sufficient except for a common street in town which is abbreviated in the records system. I need for the entries which read “24 SGE, Albany” to read “24 Stargate East, Albany” so the address can be interpreted by the mapping software.

I tried something like

{Location.Address}+","+" "+{Location.City}

and

Replace({Location.Address}," SGE"," Stargate East")

I got the error, a boolean is require here. So I am probably still far off. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Replace({Location.Address},"SGE","Stargate East") + ", " + {Location.City}
