I am trying to sum a field in my group footer (in the form of decimals, i.e. --> 0.1, 0.035 etc). However, the summed result is completly wrong. In the group footer I used the following: =sum([group field name to sum]). Please advise.
 
What is the datatype of the field you are summing? Will it take decimals? It would be helpful if you gave an example of what is wrong with it, pick a group and list the values in that detail section along with the sum value you are getting in the footer.
 
The datatype of the field I am summing is number. Example group values: 0.09; 0.05; 0.03 the group sum output is: 21.00
