Question: How to filter repeatative values in the report to get distinct values.

Example: In any database we can use distinct command But My Report source is flatfile.Therfore,I cann't manipulate source system.

Is there any command or function to filter repeating records/values in the report.

Answer: Using the eliminate duplicates option is one way.

In a clightly different scenario, duplicates could come up due to the design structure of the report. e.g.

In some specific cases, one may want to display a value in one field (say in a folded report) but multiple values come up (which could give you a COMPUTATION ERROR). To avoid such situation, one can define a variable which would e the max of the original field required. That ways the same value is fetched and also only one value is returned
