I am wondering if we can sum by item number which looks like sum(quantity, item#) but I don't know if I want it to sum the quantity specific from date A to date B how can i do that. Please let me know if you figured out.
Create a formula field:
//{#quantity}
If {view.date_field} In Date(2013,06,01) To Date(2013,06,30) Then
{view.item_quantity}
Insert a group on the {view.item_number} field (Insert | Group...)
Insert a summarized field on the formula field (Insert | Summary...), specify the group that you just created.
the answer lies within your question, the formula that you have written is called conditional sum.
sum(quantity, item#);
create a formula writing exactly the same thing, but replacing the arguments with the actual database fields which I assume would make the formula, somewhat like this.
sum({view.item_quantity}, {view.item_number});
hope this helps...

Tableau will generally show every single date within table output of the date ranges filtered for. Is there a way to only show the first and last date in the table for the date of ranges selected?
I created an image of the desired output in excel. Link below:

Thank you in advance!
The feature that will address your goal is called a Level of Detail (LOD) calculation. They have many uses and take various forms. I suggest reading about the in the online help.
But, to answer your question, the LOD calc to find the first (i.e. minimum) value in a date field called, say, Transaction Date, is;
{ MIN([Transaction Date]) }
The formula for the latest value is left as an exercise for the reader 😊
I have this concern using Crystal Report which I am not really familiar with. Here's my scenario:
I have an existing report to update, I need to add a column (ETA) which has a datetime value. It may return more than one rows per Item No, I need to get the minimum date only per Item No from the result rows.
I already tried some solution mentioned here http://scn.sap.com/thread/1952829 but found no luck.
I used a suppression formula for the Details section of the report, but haven't succeeded yet.
IF {TableName.DateField} = Minimum({TableName.DateField}) THEN FALSE ELSE TRUE
Any possible things you can suggest me to try? Thanks in advance for this :)
good to get this value from sqlserver side. you just create a function which return a single data (minimum date).
If you wish in crystal report side, it is something you make loop of hundred for a single row display. You can use running total field for this.
Select the field , select summary type and put into the detail section.
or you can create a formula with group name option like
Minimum({TableName.DateField})

please check
Running total field gives options for Min, Max, etc. but not Sum

I have two formula field "#Total" and "#SalesTaxVlaue",
I have create one more formula field called "#NetAmount"
I want to insert sum of both "#Total" and "#SalesTaxVlaue" in "#NetAmount"
Please Help me..
Doesn't sum({#Total}) + sum({#SalesTaxVlaue}) as content of #NetAmount formula work? If you want to show it on some group footer, then you have to include group name into sum(field, group) expression too.
Or, if I have misread your question and you don't need sum over many rows, then simply {#Total} + {#SalesTaxVlaue} should be good enough :)
I am new to JasperReports and iReport, and I am facing a problem. Before going through the question, first, please take a look at the following image:
So, the main problem is with the cumulative columns. Per say, the "Cumulative Bill" column should show the following values sequentially:
6000.0, 14000.0, 23000.0, 32800.0, 42800.0 and 45800.0
I have no idea how this can be done. I tried creating a new variable, but there is no cumulative type calculations there. Please assist me.
Create variable $V{variableName} with calculation = Sum and Variable expression = $F{BillAmountField} and put text field with this variable into detail section.
Is it so hard? :)
It can be done at the query level, here is the query :-
SELECT m.bill_amount,
#cbill:=#cbill+ifNull( m.bill_amount,0) cumulative_bill
FROM (
SELECT #cbill:=0,
bill_amount
FROM
)m
I have the following issue: I have a report that uses a Dataset as its datasource. The dataset has two tables, one would be the main table, say Employee, and the second table is EmployeePaycheck, so an employee can have several paychecks. I can compute the sum of a column in the second table, say paycheckValue, but what I can't seem to do is also add to this computed field the value of some additional fields in the Employee table, such as ChristmasBonus or YearlyBonus, to see how much the employee was paid at the end of the year.
Without knowing more information on this it will be difficult to answer, but I'll give you a couple things to look for.
First, I would make sure that the fields are of a similar type that will allow for a summary. For example, if one is a string then a summary wouldn't be able to be done without casting or convertingthe value to a number. I'm assuming that the fields are probably number or decimal columns so that is probably not the case.
I'd also check to make sure that none of the values that you are trying to sum are null. I haven't tested this, but I believe that it will not sum correctly if one of the rows has a null value. In this scenario you should just be able to use a formula field to check for the null and if the field is null return 0 instead. Then you can use the formula field in your calculations instead of the field itself.
If neither of these are the case please provide a little more info how you are computing the fields and what is happening when you do it.
Hope this helps.
