    Posted: 14 Feb 2013 at 4:58am
If I am getting the sum of a record and need the output to be the opposite sign of whatever the sum may be how would I do this?

For instance if the sum is a positive number then I want it to output a negative number and if the sum is a negative number then I want it to show a positive number.

as always thank you in advance for any help

multiply the result by (-1)
 
sum(field) * (-1)
or use the negate operator
 
-(sum(field))
