	Create 2 RTs to get the 12 and 8 values then SUm those to RTS in a formula name=Formula1 (or whatever you want) field to summarize=CurrDed Type=MAximum Evaluate=Use a formula MAXIMUM(PayEndDt,EmplId)=PayENdDt and DedType=2 Reset=Group level 2 (EmplID) name=Formula2 (or whatever you want) field to summarize=CurrDed Type=MAximum Evaluate=Use a formula MAXIMUM(PayEndDt,EmplId)=PayENdDt and DedType=1 Reset=Group level 2 (EmplID) Formula field is {#Formula1} + {#Formula2} Place on group footer 2

	Hi, this works when the employee has both Type 1 and Type 2 deductions, but if there is only 1 particular ded per ded code/employee, I seem to lose the amount and it shows as nothing. ie. EmplId Ded Cd PayEnd Dt EmplyeContr EmplyrContr Curr Ded DedType 1000 S100 2010/09/09 0.0 25.00 10.00 2 1000 S100 2010/10/09 0.0 15.00 12.00 2 1000 S100 2010/09/09 15.00 0.0 10.00 1 1000 S100 2010/10/09 10.00 0.0 8.00 1 The above works, curr ded shows as 20.00 in Group2 footer 1010 S100 2010/09/09 15.00 0.0 10.00 1 1010 S100 2010/09/15 15.00 0.0 10.00 1 1010 S100 2010/10/09 15.00 0.0 10.00 1 The above doesn't work, curr ded shows as nothing istead of 10.00 I created RTs for Type 1 and Type 2 curr ded and on the Formula field I put If {#EE_Curr_Ded} > 0 And {#ER_Curr_Ded} > 0 Then {#EE_Curr_Ded} + {#ER_Curr_Ded} Else If {#EE_Curr_Ded} > 0 Then {#EE_Curr_Ded} Else If {#ER_Curr_Ded} > 0 Then {#ER_Curr_Ded} I am still getting nothing in Group2. I want to see 10.00, it still works when the empl has both 1 and 2 type. When I display the #EE_Curr_Ded and #ER_Curr_Ded in Group2 footer, it displays 10.00 in #EE_Curr_Ded. Why is the formula not working ?

	in your formula that adds EE and ER change the pick list setting about how to handle NULLS to 'Use defaalt values' formulas often 'die' on null values unless you do not tell it what to do when it hits or if you change it to defualt values since sometimes you have ne EE or ER this would be a NULL Edited by DBlank - 24 Sep 2010 at 8:21am

	Sorry, I don't know where to find it. Is it somewhere in the Formula Editor ?

	when you open up a formula to edit it, mine is in the upper right hand corner but that is configurable. it is a pick list with 2 options in it.

	I am on version 9. Is it possible that it's somewhere else ? Is it some kind of a tab called pick list ? I am using Crystal Syntax or does it matter ? The only thing I see is under File>Options - under When reading data, check box for either Convert Database NULL Values to Default or Convert Other NULL Values to Default. There is also under File>Report Options>General Settings - check box for Convert Database NULL Values to Default and another one for Convert Other NULL Values to Default. Thanks.

	it is hidden in there somewhere but you can try this instead. (if isnull({#EE_Curr_Ded}) then 0 else {#EE_Curr_Ded}) + (if isnull({#ER_Curr_Ded}) then 0 else {#ER_Curr_Ded})
