    Posted: 15 Oct 2012 at 12:24pm
I've set up a running total but I've run into an issue where its duplicating one of the values.
 
//@LT Sum
Shared NumberVar LT;
LT:=LT+{@Leads}
 
Shared NumberVar LT;
LT:=0
 
Shared NumberVar LT;
{@LT Sum}/distinctcount({Matches.Orders}, {@Origin})
 
So I've placed @LT Sum in the GH for Matches.Orders as this is where the sum needs to occur. I've placed @reset at the GH for @Origin as this is where the reset to 0 needs to occur. This appears to be working but for one flaw...its duplicating one of the values.
 
for example if 4 values being summed in @LT Sum was
1
4
5
6
 
the @avg formula is spitting out 22/4 = 5.5
its adding the 6 twice. It should be 16/4 = 4.
I've verified that its doing this on every output.
 
Let me know if you can help

hmm...
just for debugging, have you set the summing formula to display on the report so that you can see that it is doubling up?
 
If so, have you tried moving the summing formula to another section?
 
You could also keep track of the number of items summed, so that you don't have to call the distinctcount...since it will count 1,1,2,2,3,3 as only 3 items and not 6...unless that is what you want, but that will throw off the simple average that you are using.

Yes, I displayed it and the sum formula is not doubling in the proper GH. It shows its working as it should. Its only in the GF where the avg formula shows a doubling of the largest value so in essence the average is doing (A+B+C+2*D)/4. I know I have the pieces in the right place but wasn't sure if I had to set a condition somewhere to avoid this doubling of one value.
 
I know what you mean about the distinctcount but its needed in this report.

changed the avg formula to
 
Shared NumberVar LT/distinctcount({Matches.Orders}, {@Origin})
 
and it works now
