| Hi All,I have a result that for whatever reason has account credits posted to table as a positive number.What i would like to do is add a dynamic colomn to my result that says something like if ref like 'CN%%%%%%%' then newvalue=val*-1 (to make it a negative value) else it stays positive.I am not very clued up on this and i should say that this is via RS so any help or advise is really appreciated.Kind ReagardsDave |
