Summing and eliminate duplicates in crystal report 8.5
Dear Experts,
I have a database table that store saledetails from an invoicing program. In that table I have the following fields:
- saleid
- item_code
- item_name
- quantity
- supplier_code
- customer_code
What I'm trying to do is to print a record which will show the amount of item a specific customer has ordered. (ie. customer A has made many purchases and he had ordered item A 3 times with quantity 5 each times, item B 2 times with quantity 3 each time and item C 1 time with quantity 1.)
I want my report to show
item_code quantity
A 15
B 6
C 1
so far, whenever i execute the crystal report, it will print the following:
item_code quantity
A 5
A 5
A 5
B 3
B 3
C 1
I've used a group by item_code and subtotal field. With subtotal i can get the total quantity for each item, but the report still showed a particular item multiple times and the subtotal fields also showed in the group footer section, which made my report looks messy. Any idea how do i get the report i want experts? Thank you.

According to your last comments,...it looks like you already have your Subtotal setup the way you want it, and so now you only need to SUPRESS the display of the DETAILS section in order to fix your issue.
At this point,...it appears to be a Formatting Display issue....of course you may need to do some other formatting, but that should be cosmetics only...
Hope it helps

thx for the response experts. I've tried all you've suggested but i can't get rid of the multiple entries for each items.
My reports still show:
item_code quantity
A 5
A 5
A 5
15 (subtotal)
B 3
B 3
6 (subtotal)
C 1
1 (subtotal)
i want my report to print each item once with the subtotal on the same line as the item_code. Is there anyway to do it? thx

ohh ok nvm experts... i got what u guys are trying to say now... silly me, its just about playing with the group headers eh?? hehehe.. thx a bunch experts.. =)
Just RIGHT CLICK whatever section is there...and SUPPRESS it....
You may need to copy/paste the ITEM_CODE into the Group Footer to display it for your report...
