Flag specified row based on other column data

Hi all,

 I have grouped data by plan then fund and  need to flag the total row (under fund) if previous related rows (which vary in number) have a value in them.  So, if for a specific plan and fund there are any comments listed then I need a new column with a Y/N flag so I know to treat those total value differently.

Thanks Joseph.  I can't get it to break under different scenarios!  It works 🙂
