    Posted: 08 Nov 2011 at 5:17am
Hi,
 
Hope someone can help me out for this.
 
 
This sounds so simple but yet I can't figure out how to add this.
 
Basically, I have two ITEM NOs and each one of it has LOT NUMBER.
 
ITEM                         LOT NUMBER             QUANTITY
0001                         101                           600
                                102                           400
1002                         103                           900
 
I want to sum up  the quantity of each ITEM and put the result in the quantity field. So in this case, the resul would be something like this.
 
ITEM                         LOT NUMBER              QUANTITY
0001                         101                             1000
                                 102                            
1002                         103                              900
 
 
I made a group for ITEM.. (ItemNum)    
 
I counted the LOT NUMBER using Running Field.. (TotalLotNum)
Field to summarize: Item.LotNum
Type of Summary: Distinct Count
Evaluate: Group 2 ItemNum
On each Field: Item.ItemNum
 
And then made a FORMULA FIELD and typed this formula in..
 
if (#TotalLotNum) > 1 then Quantity * 2
 
But this is giving me 0.00 result..
 
Can someone please help me out on this one. I spent too much time to solve this but still no luck.
 
Thanks so much...

runing totals (and variable formulas) cannot be placed in headers and show totals. They must be placed in a location that allowed all of the row values that make up the total to have been displayed in the report already (e.g. detail or footer sections).
If you do not have duplicate rows you can use an insert summary function.
SUM(quantity,item)
that can be placed in the group header

Thanks DBlank for your quick reply. Aprreciate it a lot Smile
 
The quantity belongs to the ITEM group so I have to place it in there. Is there any other way I could do it please?

if i understand your data correctly...

group on item
create a formual field as
SUM({table.quantity},{table.item})
Place this on the detail section
you should get the correct value ,just duplicated for each row (lot number)
right click on the formula field
select Common tab
mark 'Suppres if duplicated' as true (checked)
