We were trying to keep the Departmental summary clean and simple because we always print the departmental summary and then print the budget variance reports for all "active" departments to provide further detail. The summary was simply to see at a glance where the client is at. We had considered putting in the budget information and then hiding it when printed, but zero suppress does not look at hidden columns. So our solution now is to include the budget numbers so that zero suppress does not blank out an active department.
