Crystal Reports - Running Total Percentage

I have a report that i have grouped by month.  I have subtotals for each month.  I need to calculate a percentage for each month based on the total for the entire report.  So, if i had 12 months on my report, i need to know what percent of the total for each month.

If you used the Summary for the totals per month you can add another one and change it to show the value as a % of other groups or the entire report.

How are you getting the monthly totals?

I have a running total setup to reset on each month. The report is grouped by month.  I don't understand what you are suggesting?
Why are you using a running total?

Have you considered using a Cross Tab?

I've just always used running totals to total up data for each group.  I've never used cross tab's.
Are you adding all values or is there a formula that controls the evaluation of the running total?

You can use Sum({YouRField}) as the divisor to get the %

I have two groups on my report, so it looks like this

January 2011
   High Prob
       Data Line 1
       Data Line 2
       Data Line 3
   Medium Prob
       Data Line 4
       Data Line 5
       Data Line 6
   Low Prob
        Data Line 7
        Data Line 8
        Data Line 9

February 2011
    High Prob
       Data Line 10
       Data Line 11
       Data Line 12
   Medium Prob
       Data Line 13
       Data Line 14
       Data Line 15
   Low Prob
        Data Line 16
        Data Line 17
        Data Line 18

So, I want to total each probability group.  I then want to show a percentage of each group compared to the total for that particular month.
I believe it would be:

IF sum(YourField) = 0 then 0
ELSE
sum (YourField, ProbabilityGroup) % sum(YourField)

Replace YourField and ProbabilityGroup with the correct formula or fields used in your report.
