The "Text" object has "Duplicates" property which allows to control how duplicate values will be printed. This property can be used if the "Text" object is on the "Data" band. The values considered duplicate if they are printed in the near by data rows.
The "Duplicates" property can have one of the following values:
| • | Show - show the duplicates (by default). |
| • | Hide - hide the object with duplicate value. |
| • | Clear - clear the object's text, but show the object. |
| • | Merge - merge several objects with the same value. |
The difference between these modes in shown in the figure below:
The "Merge" mode does not work with "keep together" function (see "Breaking data and keeping it together" chapter).
