CR10 - How to find references to a formula in a report 1

[shera4111]

Hi all,

I've inherited some legacy reports and am refactoring them. I am having trouble deleting a specific formula from the report, as Crystal tells me that it is used somewhere in the report, and I must remove the reference first.

I've looked everywhere in this report - other formulae and functions, running totals, group/selection formulae, formatting/suppression formulae, chart formulae, and can't seem to find where the reference is.

I even tried exporting the report as a txt report format, and doing a 'find'. Didn't work.

Anyone know a way to find the reference so I can remove the formula?

Thx.

Try changing the formula to another data type as output, that will usuall make the dependent formula/area error and pop it's widdle noggin up.

Did you check sort fields?

K - changing the datatype is BRILLIANT. Stars for you.
