Show related record in portal

Show related record in portal

(OP)
I have two tables, a relationship and a layout....... and an impression of the keyboard in my forehead.

Table1: ganderProducts
  Field: sGanderProduct  (text values like "V/V", "SI" and "Other Products")

Table2: clientIntake
   Field: sProdDiscussed  (return delimited list of values from 'sGanderProduct')
   Field: sOtherProducts  (freeform text)
   Field: calcShowOtherProds == Case(PatternCount( ganderProducts::sGanderProduct; "Other") > 0 ; sOtherProducts ; "")

Relationship: From clientIntake to ganderProducts
     sProdDiscussed   =  sGanderProduct

Layout: ReportByProduct
   Showing records from 'ganderProducts'
   LeadingSubSummary: sGanderProduct when sorted by sGanderProduct

   Portal: ::calcShowOtherProds  inside

What I WANT To Happen: When the Layout 'ReportByProduct' is shown in Preview mode, the field '::calcShowOtherProds' is empty. When the user flips to the page where 'sGanderProduct' is "Other Products" I want the field '::calcShowOtherProds' to show the value for the field 'sOtherProducts' for each row in the Portal.

I have tried multiple permutations of putting the calculated field in the clientIntake table and in the ganderProducts table. I can get it to work.... kind of. If I can get the field to show, the values shown are all the same.

Can someone help me?

I am running FM 8.5 Advanced on a Mac running 10.4.9.

Thank you for your help,

    Nancy

Let me put it a simpler way.

I have a related field within a portal on a report page that I only want to show if the "sort by" field in the Leading Sub-Summary has a certain value.

I have found that looking at things from different angles sometimes produces different solutions. Unfortunately, this different angle didn't bring a correct solution to my mind.

How about yours?

Thank you for your help,
