hi there,

is there a way I can perform a sum of distinct values in an expression?

My sql behind the report returns one or more rows for a single time entry (as I am also returning timehseet notes)

My report has grouping levels with the timesheet notes at the lowest levels
I need to only sum the actuals at distinct time entries, rather than each time entry being multiplied by the number of notes that are against it.


 
Yes, there is.

The expression should be of the form:
Sum( <DataRow Variable> ) Distinct( <DataRow Variable> )

I hope this helps.
