Sum a running total from a main report and subreport 1

[llunde]

I need to add a running total from a main report to a running total form a subreport. What is the best way to do this.

You would have to set up a shared variable for the running total in the subreport footer:

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar subrt := {#yourrt};

Then in the main report, in a section below the one containing the subreport, you can add a formula like this:

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar subrt;
{#mainreportrt} + subrt

Thank you for your response!
I am sorry but I am a novice at Crystal.
How do I set up a shared variable for the subreport.
Is it just done as a formula?

Yes, create a new formula and set it up just like this and place it in the sub footer:

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar subrt := {#yourrt};

...except replacing the {#yourrt} with your actual running total field.
