Summarize over header of a group (group parameter)

[helmers]

I am using crystal reports for visual studio.net.

In my report I have a group were I print an amount in the header (group criteria). I now need to have to summary of all those amounts in the bottom of the report. But how can I summarize on another field of a report? is this possible?

If for some reason you can't insert a grand total to get the total of group results, then you can use a variable like:

//{@accum} to be placed in the group header:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar grpsum := grpsum + sum({table.amount},{table.group});
//substitute your group level value for sum({table.amount},{table.group})

//{@display} to be placed in the report footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar grpsum;

Thanks a lot!

I tried to do everything with one variable which of course didn't work...
