help with summing whileprintingrecords

[Tonyvee73]

Hi
Quite new to crystal and need to get a sum in an existing report but need some help?

Have this in GH2
WhilePrintingRecords;
numbervar RunPhysical;
RunPhysical:= {STK_STOCK.STK_PHYSICAL} + {STK_STOCK.STK_QTYPRINTED}

Have this in Details
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar RunPhysical;
If {STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_DATE} > {?Report Date} And {STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_STATUS} = 'I'
Then
(if {STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_SERIALTRACK}=1 then
RunPhysical := RunPhysical - 1
else
RunPhysical := RunPhysical - ({STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_QUANTITY}*{STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_QTYUNIT})
)
Else
If {STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_DATE} > {?Report Date} And {STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_STATUS} = 'O'
Then
(if {STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_SERIALTRACK}=1 then
RunPhysical := RunPhysical + 1
else
RunPhysical := RunPhysical + ({STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_QUANTITY}*{STK_MOVEMENTS.SM_QTYUNIT})
)
Else
RunPhysical := RunPhysical




Have this in GF2
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar RunPhysical;


I have totals being generated in the GF2 but need the sum of these in GH1 - is there a way to do this?
Really sorry if anyone needs more info, as I say, im new to CR
Many thanks

You can not put WhileprintingRecords var totals in Group Headers.

If you want them to appear in GH you must add a Subreport and then pass a Shared Var to the Group Header. You can make Subreport very thin and you can hide all fields in SR so that it does not impact report layout. But you can not hide in a suppressed section, you can make it very thin and then get the section holding the SR to underlay and this reduces impact even further.

Ok and thanks for the reply, however not quite sure how to start here - any pointers?

Can you explain why you are using variables? What fields are you grouping on? What happens if you remove the variables and just use a conditional formula and then insert summaries on it at various group levels?
