data element

Hi,

I want to display a "-", if my data element is blank.
I am doing it in the following way:
if(dataSetRow["Price"]=="")
"-";
else
dataSetRow["Price"];

I have many data elements in a report.
SO is there a data element property which I can set, or a common way to apply the same logic to all the data elements - something like styles.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Vash

Take a look at field mapping. it should do exactly what you want and perform the operation more efficiently at run-time.<br />

The example only has a sorting condition and no field mapping.

In addition, I am using a grid and not a table.

Is it possible to apply the same condition to the data elements in a grid?

I am using a grid with 'n' data elements.
I want to display the value "NA", if data element is empty.

Applying mapping to individual elements is tedious.
Is there any other solution?

I have posted this question previously as well, but havn't found a solution.
