    Posted: 22 Sep 2021 at 1:15am
Hi

I have a report that shows all the orders for a range of products. I also have the available stock of each product. The grand total of the product is incorrect e.g if I have 10 in stock of one product and 10 in stock of another product they are both used in 3 orders. If I add a grand total, of what is in stock it should be 20, however it is coming out as 60, as there are 3 instances of each. Hope that makes sense. Any help much appreciated.

how are getting the data? Is the report joining to the tables directly or from a stored procedure?

If from a stored procedure, I would create a column and populate it so that the total comes out correctly (easier said than done...).

Otherwise, I would try a subreport that would look at the items, and not be concerned about the duplication caused by the usage.

Some possible solutions, I am sure that there are more.

Thank you for your help. It's directly from the tables, I think I may have to look at sub reports - or send it to excel and total it there.

Thanks again.

you can also possibly use running totals. Create a RT as a sum of the field but evaluate on change of the PK from the table that identifies the stock not the orders
