    Posted: 19 Mar 2008 at 3:56pm
I'm trying to add field values together to get a total in another field.  The problem is that one of the fields may have null value in it.  When it does, Crystal does not want to add any of the other fields and returns a blank.  What syntax do I use to make Crystal add all the fields regardless if one of them is null?
 
Normally, in MS Access I would use nz.  But obviously doesn't work with Crystal.
 
Thanks for any help in advance.

One option would be to create a formula along the lines of:

if isnull({table.field}) then 0
else {table.field}

Then preform your calculations on this formula.

Hope this helps.

If it's only one of the fields that may be null, this isn't too difficult:

if IsNull({nullable field} then
  {field1} + {field2}
else
  {field1} + {field2} + {nullable field}
