Period to date and Year to date

Are you using this in Crystal or in the SQL?

Your selection formula should be

{TPr_ProcedureReimbursement;1.DateTrans} >= date(Year({?@todate}),1,1)  AND
{TPr_ProcedureReimbursement;1.DateTrans} <= ,{?@todate}

Why were you subtracting 1 from the year?
Are you tring to get last year's data?

Is ToDate a range?

Are you using a stored procedure or just reading tables directly in your report or ...?  As mlmcc mentioned, the record selection in your report, or the WHERE in your stored procedure, needs to include the whole year (however you define that) for the YTD part.

 As for your formulas, it depends on what {?From Date} and {?@todate} are, and what data the report is reading, but trying to use Minimum is probably at least part of the problem.

 I'm guessing that {?From Date} and {?@todate} are the starting and ending dates for the period.

 For the period formula:
 The report will have to read data for the whole year to calculate the YTD total.  That means that the minimum date for each {@Group Program} will probably be some time earlier in the year (before the current period), so the minimum date won't be between {?From Date} and {?@todate}, so you get 0 for the period formula.


 For the YTD formula:
 > This is ignoring the date and jusr sums al charges by program

 That would normally be what you want, if the report is only reading the data for the current year (up to {?@todate}).  If the report includes data after {?@todate}, the formula will be comparing the minimum date for each {@Group Program} to see if it falls in the year range, and if it does, it does a sum of _all_ of the records for the group.

 Perhaps you're thinking that the date test in the if-else is applied to the Sum function.  It is not.  Sum ({field1}, {group field}) always returns the total for {field1} from every record in the group.


 If you can have the record selection (or the WHERE in your stored procedure) limit the records to just the ones in whatever you consider to be the "year to date", then you can just do a simple summary of Charges to get the YTD total.  If you need to include records with dates outside of the "year to date", you can use a formula similar to the one below for the period.

 For the period total, create a formula like the following and do a summary for the group on that formula:

if Date({TPr_ProcedureReimbursement;1.DateTrans}) in
 Cdate ({?From Date})  to Cdate ({?@todate}) then
  {TPr_ProcedureReimbursement;1.Charges}
