Pre-processed totals??????

[Snookless]

Hello,
If any one can help I would appreciate it.
Group header with Employee name
Details section with annual salary (Suppressed)
Grand total of the annual salary on report footer.
I need to move this total up to the group header without compromising the output of the total.
How can this be done?
Thank you in advance

For Crystal 8.5, you need to right-click on the field and select [Insert] and then [Summary]. This allows for totals that are calculated ahead of the group formatting, and can be shown in the header.

They can also be used for surpessing the printing of groups, if that's relevant.

Running totals are flexible and useful, but are calcualted by Crystal at the same time as it formats detail lines for printing. That limits where they can be used.

To add the grand total to another section, create a formula:

sum({table.annualsal})

Place this anywhere in the report. This works as long as you are evaluating every record (not suppressing records or using a group select).
