Total for format with multiple columns

I have a subreport that has data that is formatted with multiple columns. It looks really nice. The problem is that I need a total of one of the fields on the bottom of the data. It always prints on another page. I've tried resizing the subreport but nothing makes it stay on the first page. Any ideas.

Thanks
Pat
 
Try passing is up to the main report in a shared variable, then place it at the bottom (in its own section) of the subreport.
 
Thanks for you reply but it didn't work. To get the subreport detail to wrap it with multiple columns it has to be at the bottom of the main report. When we just try to add a literal to the bottom of the main report it goes to another page. Any more ideas?

Thanks

You are not providing enough information. What do you mean by needing a total at the "bottom" of the data? Do you mean at the end of the subreport? The end of the page? Within the subreport or in the main report?

Sounds as though you have the "Keep Together" turned on for the subreport or the section it is in, or even a New Page After, so turn these off if you want a continuous flow of data.

As LB points out, you should use real technical terms avoiding things like bottom of page, that isn't a Crystal section, state what section you are trying things in, and what you have tried specifically.
