SubTotal Page Break Logic...

Hi all,

 

I am trying to compare two apex:variables (Current Prod Type and the previous prod type) and if they are different do a Subtotal line in a table:

 

 <apex:outputText value="{!if(!myProdTyp == !LastProdTyp,'','<tr><td>SUBTOTAL</td></tr>')} ">
  </apex:outputText>

 

Both LastProdTyp and myProdTyp are apex:variables.

 

I am getting an error message when I try the above syntax saying: Error: Incorrect parameter type for function 'not()'. Expected Boolean, received Text

 

Please advise. Thanks in advance!

-Jim

You dont need to use the exclamation mark for referencing every property. You can simply use:

{!If(myprodtype == lastprodtyp, ' ' , '<tr><td>subtotal</td></tr>')}

But the error is w.r.t NOT function. I dont see you using not anywhere. Can you post entire code?

Thanks the "Not" part of the error I believe was because of the '!'... It was thinking I wanted to do a "Not". Once I removed the "!" the error message was fixed.
