Im new to Crystal report. Would appreciate for your help and advice.
I have applied the 1st formula add into the crystal report and trying to sum it if the value is only 1. Attempted to create 2nd formula but having the error.
Formula: test3
if(Count ({CUSTINVOICEJOUR.INVOICEID}, {CUSTINVOICEJOUR.INVOICEID})) = 2 then 1 else 0
sum ({#Test3})
error - this field cannot be summarized
Crystal cannot total formulas that depend on totals.
You can define a numeric variable and increment it in a GF formula using the same conditional logic. Then, display the resulting total in a formula below the "action".
You didn't describe what level of aggregation you are after (grand total across level 1 subtotals? Level 1 total across level-2 subtotals?) so it's difficult to refer to appropriate level of "action" in more concrete terms.

I am trying to calculate average of 2 columns in another column in Tableau but difficult part is grand total is not getting average instead it is the sum of 3rd calculated field.
A B Calculated field
10 5 2
6 3 2
T 16 8 4 (Here I should get 2 instead it is taking sum of column)
Here I am unable to write separate formula for row totals and grand totals, Only one formula (Calculated Field) is allowed and when I am dragging on sheet it is by default aggregating to sum.
Note: I am expert in Crystal and BO but beginner in Tableau.
Update
Code used for LoD
{FIXED [Product Category]: AVG([Sales])}
Below image is what I got after implementation I have tried with 2 columns but the result is same if I use only one column (I am trying to get the average of sales)
You are almost there - the Grand Total by default does a SUM function you just have use the Total All Using --> Average option.
Output : Level wise SUM(Profit) later averaged across columns and rows. (Show Column Grand Total & Show Row Grand Total active)
Update: Answering the question below. To get the Row-wise avg (which is Cat1-vag in this case) you could just drop the measure and change it to AVG(). Since you needed in a Calculated Field you could use a Simple FIXED LOD. You can also uncheck aggregated measures from Analysis dropdown and have no Dimension in column or row like unlike what this example shows and still get three different averages. Cheers.
{FIXED [Cat1]:AVG([Profit])}
Check out this very smart work around from Joe Mako.
https://community.tableau.com/thread/112791
create a calc field like:
IF FIRST()==0 THEN
WINDOW_AVG(SUM([Sales]),0,IIF(FIRST()==0,LAST(),0))
END
duplicate your Category field
place "Category (copy)" on the level of detail
set the compute using for the calc field pill to use "Category (copy)"
The window function in the calculated field only takes into account what's in the view, and aggregate based on those number.
How do I get a crosstab in Crystal Reports 2013 to exclude null values from a crosstab average?
For example
Procedure Name : OCT RETINA
Procedure Count : 8
Procedures with Completion Times Populated : 6
Summary of all 6 Completion Times : 101
I was expecting the average of the Completion Times to be calculated as 101/6. Instead, Crystal Reports is calculating the average as 101/8. It needs to be calculated as 101/6 (without counting null values in the denominator).
Adding another group is not an option because of the very specific way the values are sorted in the detail (hence a crosstab in a footer). The names of the procedures are dynamic so keeping a running total of each procedure's average completion time is not an option either.
Thanks in advance!!!!
One solution would be instead of taking the field create a formula use that in cross tab.
Create a formula #count
if << procedure field>>=<<your value>>
then 1
else 0
Now place the formula and take sum instead of count
Thanks for everyone's feedback! The answer is to use Weighted Average instead of just a plain old Average.
All I had to do was
a. Create a formula field called IncludeProcInDenominator and set the value to
if {Command.ProcTime} > 0 then 1
b. Right click on the Average Proc Time calculation in the crosstab and select Edit Summary
c. When the Edit Summary dialog box appears, in the Calculate This Summary drop down, select Weighted average with
d. In the dropdown box underneath that, select #IncludeProcInDenominator
In effect, the only values that are averaged are the ones where #IncludeProcInDenominator = 1
Thanks for everyone's help!
I am one step away from finishing up a report in Crystal 2008. I have included a snapshot of the report below. For some reason I cannot get the formula in the yellow column to calculate correctly. I am trying to divide the value of Net A for each main data source/year into the yearly Total of Net A to get the % of Data for each Main Data Source. Net A is pulling from a field in access and the total of Net A is a running total based on a current Run Date using formula ({HNT_End_To_End_Data.REPT_YYMM} = cStr(currentdate,'yyMM') in the evaluate section of the running total and the field is reset on each change of Year.
The formula in the yellow column is currently ({HNT_End_To_End_Data.Net_A}/Sum ({HNT_End_To_End_Data.Net_A}))*100 and is showing values that are like it's doing NetA divided into the grand total of Net A of all 3 years (3,727,560/108,666,439) rather than the dividing into individual year (3,727,560/34,981,163). I'm attempting to get the formula to divide each Main Data Source for each year into the yearly Net A total.
I've tried doing many different formulas and have had no luck, so would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.
Do you have a group on year({sometable.somedate})? You need to add that group into your aggregate (sum) function:
(
{HNT_End_To_End_Data.Net_A}
/
Sum({HNT_End_To_End_Data.Net_A}, year({sometable.somedate}))
) * 100
EDIT: After reviewing the report I can see you are using a conditional formula {HNT_End_To_End_Data.REPT_YYMM} <> cStr(currentdate,'yyMM') to suppress the detail section. So SUM({HNT_End_To_End_Data.Net_A},{HNT_End_To_End_Data.SERVICE_THRU_YEAR}) is actually including the records which aren't being displayed. You have a number of ways to get around this. The simplest is probably to create a new formula for net_a:
if {HNT_End_To_End_Data.REPT_YYMM} <> cStr(currentdate,'yyMM') then
{HNT_End_To_End_Data.Net_A}
else
0;
You can then do:
(
{HNT_End_To_End_Data.Net_A}
/
Sum({#net_a}, year({sometable.somedate}))
) * 100
I am trying to sum two different formula fields in Crystal. It will not let me select them from the Sum. The first formula is
if Sum ({tblPostedLine.pli_QUANTITY_SHIPPED}) >= 1
then {tblPostedLine.pli_NET_PRICE}
else ({tblPostedLine.pli_NET_PRICE} * -1)
I am trying to take a price and make it a negative value if the quantity is a negative value. I then want to sum the amounts to get a net amount that was shipped.
The other formula is
If PreviousIsNull({RodsvwCatalogAnalysis.pro_PROMOTION_CODE})
or ({RodsvwCatalogAnalysis.pro_PROMOTION_CODE}) <>
Previous({RodsvwCatalogAnalysis.pro_PROMOTION_CODE})
then {RodsvwCatalogAnalysis.pit_AREA_PER_PAGE} else 0
With this formula, I am trying to sum at a group level, not the details level. When I just sum the group level number, it is adding it every time the value is listed in the details as well.
I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks!
For the first scenario,
Create 1 variable formula in detail level to hold with your requirement.
for e.g.
#NetPrice , formula if {tblPostedLine.pli_QUANTITY_SHIPPED} >= 1 then
{tblPostedLine.pli_NET_PRICE} else ({tblPostedLine.pli_NET_PRICE} * -1)
using running total field feature in your Field Explorer to sum up the value and place
your group footer.
For the second scenario, I believe it relate to promotion group and again you could use the running total field feature to evaluate the sum condition and reset the value when condition are meet like field value change.
I did a summation in one formula say Formula1. Now i created Formula2 which would do summation of Formula1 as Sum({#Formula1}).
But the crystal report gives the error as "The Field could not be summarized". I understand that summation of sum cannot be done, but i need to do this as Formula1 does summation of columns i.e. brings up Total and Formula2 brings up grand Total.
Please Help!
thanks
Does your Formula1 always evaluate to a numeric value? For example, if you designed Formula1 to display "-" instead of "0", that would cause the problem for Formula2.
If this is a simple summation, you don't even need a Formula2. Crystal has a built-in alternative. On Formula1, go to right-click->Insert->Summary and choose where you want it (Group Footer or Report Footer)
If you copy your summation field and paste it in the Report Footer, it will calculate a grand total--no need to do a sum(sum(field)).
