Did you try to set Print repeated values to No for the fields in question?

>In a report I'd like several fields not to be printed in a line if one of them has a repeated value. For example, if a product name is repeated I'd like not to print the units per case either.

Now I am offering the user the option of exporting the report to excel and naturally the appended product name goes along. The user is not asked the report destination until after all data is prepared, and that is done in a process that I prefer not to touch, so it is not really feasable to change the value in the cursor.
