I have a formula field in a group footer that gets some of its information from another summary field in the same group footer. Report works great, just can't figure if I can get a grand total of the individual footer totals.... I can't use any of the Detail line fields because they need to be subtotaled first (in the group footer) so that the formula field can do its job. Is this an un-solvable circular problem? I could dump the results into excel if needbe.
thanks for any advice
I use crystal report, my report have 2 fields : man=3 and woman=4. I want to calculate % man? with formula field. I try count({person.sex},"man")*100/count({person.sex}) but show Error "A field is required here"? Help me!
Take 2 running total variable, put into the group footer or appropriate section (preferable on any footer- report footer will display total percentage, not group wise) and give condition as you want or check below links.

How to sum running total field for each group in crystal report?

I've created a crystal report with a field issueSUM.LineTL in the detail section of the report.
This field returns the correct information per line.
I need to sum this field in the report footer and i have created a formula field - Sum({IssueSum.LineTL}).
I inserted this field and at report generation it comes up with an error:
Error in formula Sum({IssueSum.LineTL})
The field name is not known
Please advise as to what could cause this
Many thanks
You have given wrong syntax in sum forumla, instead of creating a formula and writing the sum(). Right click on issueSUM.LineTL and go to insert summary and generate summary from there.
I'm not sure if it is just a typo here in your post, but your formula is Sum({IssueSum.LineTL}) whereas your field is issueSUM.LineTL. That's a capital 'I' versus a lower-case 'i'. When creating formulas, double-clicking on the field in the field explorer window of the formula editor to insert a field will help you avoid such typos.
Other than that I agree with #Siva that right-clicking and choosing "Insert" -> "Summary" is a much easier and more reliable way to create summaries. Make sure to choose "Sum" as the type of summary from the choices available and put the summary in the report footer.
In some inherited code, I see group headers/footers have items like 'Sum of #numcount' . I cannot get the sum of a formula field. Any thoughts?
The only reason that I know of why a formula wouldn't be available to summarize on is if it didn't reference any database fields or whose value wasn't dynamic throughout sections of the report. For example, if you have a formula that returns a constant it won't be available. Or if it only references a field that is set throughout the report and returns a value based on that field, like "if {parameter}=1 then 1" would not be available either.
In general, the formula's value should not be static through the sections of the report you're summarizing over (Though the way Crystal determines this is beyond me and this doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule)
EDIT: One other reason why a formula wouldn't be available is if you're already using a summary function in that formula. Only one level of summaries at a time!
(Assuming you are looking at the reports in the Crystal Report Designer...)
Your menu options might be a little different depending on the version of Crystal Reports you're using, but you can either:
Make a summary field: Right-click on the desired formula field in your detail section and choose "Insert Summary". Choose "sum" from the drop-down box and verify that the correct account grouping is selected, then click OK. You will then have a simple sum field in your group footer section.
Make a running total field: Click on the "Insert" menu and choose "Running Total Field..."*** Click on the New button and give your new running total field a name. Choose your formula field under "Field to summarize" and choose "sum" under "Type of Summary". Here you can also change when the total is evaluated and reset, leave these at their default if you're wanting a sum on each record. You can also use a formula to determine when a certain field should be counted in the total. (Evaluate: Use Formula)
You Can simply Right Click Formula Fields- > new
Give it a name like TotalCount then Right this code:
if(isnull(sum(count({YOURCOLUMN})))) then
0
else
(sum(count({YOURCOLUMN})))
and Save then Drag and drop TotalCount this field in header/footer.
After you open the "count" bracket you can drop your column there from the above section.See the example in the Picture
You can try like this:
Sum({Tablename.Columnname})
It will work without creating a summarize field in formulae.
suppose if i have many locations like L!,L2,L3 etc
each location hasAmount column with many records
how
can i totl the amount of each location in Crystal report
You need to create a Group for the Location, and then add a total field for SUM of Amount.
If you need me to explan the steps for you, please feel free to ask.
On the menu click Report and then
Group Expert.
A new window will pop up called
Group Expert with 2 boxes (Available Fields and Group By) and
buttons to move fields from left to
right.
Move the Location Field to the Group
By box and click OK.
Now you report should show a Group
Header 1 containing a field *Group1 Name* and Group Footer 1 which should be blank.
Now on the menu click Insert and
Summary. You should see a new window called Insert Summary.
In the Choose the field to
Summarize, change the field to the required Amount field to be summed.
Change the Calculate this summary
from Maximum to to Sum.
Change the Summary Location from
Grand Total(Report Footer) to Group #1 and click OK.
That should be about it. Now you can play around with the formatting as required.
