ALV Layout Variant problem

[Former Member]

I have an ALV report that has the option to select the layout variant on the select options screen. If I leave the variant blank the report has the SUM button available when displayed. If I change the layout by selecting a variant, the SUM button stays visible. If, however, I run the report and select a layout variant on the select options screen, when the report is displayed, the SUM button is NOT displayed. Why would this be happening?

HI,

Check if there is amount field in this variant, because sum button displayed, when there is an amount field in alv display.

When a layout is saved ,in the popup window that is displayed,check the 2nd tab "Save with:.This contains checkboxes for "sort order" and "subtotals".If these are not checked then the "SUM" button will not be displayed.
