Scenario.
I have a report which shows two orders going out and a netamount of 531.58.
Problem here is that the order did not go out twice. It was backorder so when the other
items came we shipped those out.
In the report if we were to add this netamount field to the end of the report, it would be inacurate.
So I created a formula, {NetAmount}, to show me just the first order and if second order shows to show a zero for netamount.
Here is the {NetAmount} code:
if OnFirstRecord or {SYSOENT.ORDER_NO} <> Previous({SYSOENT.ORDER_NO
{SYSOENT.NET_AMT} else
0
This works fine. Problem is when I go to create a running totals field in the field explorer, the {NetAmount} Formula does not show. Where did I go wrong?
i just want to be able to add the formula and show this at the end of the report.
Thanks.
