#### Using selection formulas

With the Formula Editor you can build your group selection request using group fields, group name fields, and other formulas. As with record selection formulas, your only restriction is that the formula you create must be Boolean; that is, it must return either a True or False value.

###### To create a record or group selection formula

1. On the Report menu, point to `Edit Selection Formula`.
2. Click Record to create a record selection formula.

   The Record Selection Formula Editor appears.

   - or -

   Click Group to create a group selection formula.

   The Group Selection Formula Editor appears.

3. Enter your selection formula in the Formula text box.

   Note: The resulting formula must be Boolean; that is, it must return either a True or False value.

4. Click `Check` to identify any errors in the formula.
5. Fix any syntax errors the Formula Checker identifies.
6. When the formula has the correct syntax, click `Save then Close`.

   When the program runs the report, it will include only those records or groups of records that you specified.
