Crystal Formula Issue

[former_member364727]

• 1)Body values of column A&B are formulae
• 2)I need a formula for calculating ‘Sum A’ & ‘Sum B’ which will add only body values of group3.
• 3)Once these Sum A & Sum B are available in formula, I can use these formulae to calculate
• Sum A/ Sum B to be placed in group3 of column C.

I have already tried following which are not working.

• I.Insert totals of column A & B, but they are not available in formula to be used.
• II.=sum (@bodyformula), this summing up everything in column A
• III.Weighted average in column C group3 header, giving some random values

Kindly help. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards.

Why do you have the same field inserted as a group thrice?

Yes we have different group of account ranges, top group is parent group with account ranges (say 1 to 10).

Group 2 will have sub range category say (1 to 2) & (3 to 4)......(9 to 10)

and group 3 is created for summarize data in order to avoid line items.

I can use formula (Sum A /Sum B) but only for any one of the group.

For rest their corresponding totals are not available to be used in formula. Thats why I need formula to sum up body values so that I can use them in column c calculations. Kindly suggest.

Hi Naoman,

1. Sum({@Column A formula}, {Group 3 field})

This will return sum of column A only for Group 3. Place this formula on the Group Footer 3.

2. Use a similar formula for Column B.

3. To divide these two, use:

If Sum({@Column B formula}, {Group 3 field}) = 0 then 0

else

Sum({@Column A formula}, {Group 3 field}) / Sum({@Column B formula}, {Group 3 field})

All this assuming both formulas for Column A and B are not using print time functions.

Hi Abhilash,

Thanks for your reply. No there is no print time function in column A & B.

I tried your solution, it gave incorrect results.

What I mean is when I put Group 3 field (Account Number), it is giving sum of all the values.

However all the groups (Group 1 & Group 2) using same field, that might be the reason.

And that might be the reason why totals are not available in formula.

Any further suggestions.

Thanks

What is the formula used in @bodyformula

If it contains an aggregate function or a variable you can not use the Crystal sum function.

You then have to use either a variable or Running Total, however these can only be used in a group footer. It looks like you want to display in header, which will not be possible.

Hi Ian,

Body formula is like

if date = {@parameter} then measure.

Thanks. I'll check ur proposed solution,

[former_member364727]

In footer also we can put. Could you please suggest code for the same. Thanks

You need a default condition it should then be available to sum

Try

if date = {@parameter} then measure else 0
