Hello,

I am writing a report and need to create some statistics. The report is showing findings that can be anywhere from "0/10" - "10/10" and can be returned in any frequency or order. For example The results might be 10/10, 10/10, 0/10, 5/10, 10/10. I would like to be able to say if the value is anything other than 0/10 is the next value within 90 minutes (comparing the time/date entered fields). If so then 1 else 0. Any ideas on how I could do this?
 
if not onlastrecord and
{table.value} <> "0/10" and
datediff("n",{table.datetime},next({table.datetime}) < 90 then 1

...but I bet you are then going to want to summarize this, and you will have to use variables to do that.

As always you are correct. Any hints on using the variables to summarize this. Working perfectly so far :)
 
//{@detail formula}:
Whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x := x + {@yourformula};

//{@displayresults} if summarizing at the group level, this belongs in the group footer; otherwise, in the report footer:
Whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x;

//{@reset} in the group header if summary is at the group level:
Whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x;
if not inrepeatedgroupheader then
x := 0;

Thank you very much for your assistance I couldn't have done it without you.
