Help with formula
I have the following formula in the detail section of a sub report I'm expecting it to first check the groups then the Boolean if all the criteria is met then do the summing. My code isn't working, any suggestions. I also tried a record selection formula of which is also pasted below
Detail Section
whileprintingrecords;
if
(
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
) and
{somefield.IsExcluded} = false then
numbervar otherChrges := otherChrges + {somefield.PresAmt}
Record selection formula
not isnull({somefield.unbdTitl
len(trim({somefield.unbdTi
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
Detail Section
whileprintingrecords;
if
(
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
) and
{somefield.IsExcluded} = false then
numbervar otherChrges := otherChrges + {somefield.PresAmt}
Record selection formula
not isnull({somefield.unbdTitl
len(trim({somefield.unbdTi
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}
{somefield.unbdTitleGroup}

That was how i initially wrote the code, doesn't work.
How are you displaying the value?
Since it is in a subreport, are you resetting it anywhere?
Did you declare it anywhere else?

I'm only resetting the otherChrges numbervar in the group header. Not declaring it anywhere else except for where I'm doing the summing.
ASKER
oh yea and I'm displaying it in the footer of the group.

So it appears that my formula is working, i unsuppressed the detail section and they all show 0.00 why then is the footer section showing the total. It should be zero.

hi again
sorry I am really confused and a bit lost
this is what i think you are doing!!
r u doing a running total on a field based on the conditions between line 1 and line 12. Then you want to display this count in the group footer and then when the group changes reset this value to 0
am I on the right lines

I was looking at the wrong field basically. The grand total is displayed on the main report.
