Good evening,
 
Hopefully you can help me!
 
I have some fields summed up bases on some conditions. These conditions include previous() and next() functions to summing this field later is not possible.
 
Therefor I have made a formula using a variable to define when to add the value or when not to
 
Then I have made a new formula which on different conditions sums up the previous formula.
 
This all works great. Only in the group footer I want to show the result of this last formula.
Because this sum is based on a variable and the formula is shown in my details records but also in my group footer it will sum the last record twice.
How can I add the condition in my formula to recognize that the current action is not in a detail record but in a group record, so it does not need to re-calculate?
 
Many thanks for your troubles!
 
Regards,
Mike

create another shared variable formula to display inthe report footer
(do not use the calualting field)
// assuming it is a numbervar, replace x with whatever you named your variable
shared numbervar x;
x := x
