I created a report with  a column that calculates commission but I cannot summarize it. I want to get a subtotal per day of the commissions.
I appreciate any help. Thanks

Here is the formula
// This tests the number of chits per day for a class in indoor fitness and claculates the commission
// sorts indoor fitness sales items
if {tblPOSItems.POSItemCode} startswith "N" then
//counts chits and determines if chits are less than or equal to 5
(if count({tblPOSChits_ItemDetails.POSChitDate},{tblPOSChits_ItemDetails.POSChitDate}) <= 5
// if true chit amount will be commission amount
then {tblPOSChits_ItemDetails.GrossAmount}*1.0
// if chits are over 5 then commission will be only 70%
else {tblPOSChits_ItemDetails.GrossAmount}*.7)
else {tblPOSChits_ItemDetails.GrossAmount}*.7

CR works in two passes. Basically, the first pass gathers all the data and the second pass calculates summaries. You can't calculate a summary on certain formulas b/c they get calculated as the report is running (e.g. you are already using the Count function in it which is done in pass 2). What you need to do is create another formula which summarizes the data for you and use that value instead.

I'm new in Crystal. How do you create that formula?
