Hi, i have this problem, im trying to insert a field called @sumtotal that sumarizes a formula field called @partialtotal to make a grand total in my report. the field @sumtotal (group footer 2) its in my correspondient group footer (group footer 1).
But when i edit the field with SUM({@partialtotal}) and check the spell there s a warning window with "the summary / running total field could not be created". What is wrong.

Please help me
 
Post what's in the formula. Also the version of your software may matter, you're better served to include this in all posts in all forums.

You probably need to manually do the sunnary, based on what you've posted:

Add another formula at the same section as the @sumtotal formula:

whileprintingrecords;
numbervar GTot:= Gtot+@sumtotal;

Now in the report footer use the following to display it:

whileprintingrecords;
numbervar GTot

You can probably embed the equivalent code into your @sumtotal formula as well, but since you didn't share it the above should suffice.
