Simple Counting Formula Printed From: Crystal Reports Book Category: Crystal Reports .NET 2003 Forum Name: Report Design Forum Discription: The best way to design a report and problems you have encountered URL: http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21532 Printed Date: 03 Apr 2025 at 1:42am Topic: Simple Counting Formula Posted By: ClantonC Subject: Simple Counting Formula Date Posted: 09 Jun 2015 at 5:16am I know this is simple but I am still a newbie (I am however good at excuses!) I need a record count formula. I need a count of all {Warrant.Warrant_Type} that = “WA” but that also where the {Warrant.Warrant_Disposition} = “Active”. It accepts this without error but only generates a “0” value on the report. Does this make sense? Replies: Posted By: kevlray Date Posted: 09 Jun 2015 at 7:19am So I am assuming that you are using a running total (count) and have a formula to evaluate when to evaluate.  Something like this: {Warrant.Warrant_Type}= "WA" and {Warrant.Warrant_Disposition} = “Active” And this assumes that you have data that meets the criteria. Posted By: ClantonC Date Posted: 09 Jun 2015 at 7:41am Yes I do. We keep a list of all warrants active or complete (Still pending service and already served). I am trying to do a running count or each type of warrant separately (Arrest Warrant, Bench Warrant, and Courtesy Summons Warrant). Until I get this worked out I am running a report that filters out all "Complete" and groups by type with a total between groups. Posted By: niha Date Posted: 09 Jun 2015 at 9:40pm {Warrant.Warrant_Type}= "WA" or {Warrant.Warrant_Disposition} = “Active” try or instead of and Posted By: ClantonC Date Posted: 10 Jun 2015 at 4:57am It still gives a 0. Would that not wind up giving a count for all warrant types that are active? Posted By: kevlray Date Posted: 10 Jun 2015 at 7:08am Without knowing the data and how you set up the running total (or formula) -detailed information.  It will be difficult to know what the issue is. Posted By: ClantonC Date Posted: 10 Jun 2015 at 8:31am Table:      Warrants Fields:      Warrant Type           AW – Arrest Warrant           BW – Bench Warrant           CS – Courtesy Summons Warrant      Warrant Disposistion           Active – (Still trying to serve)           Complete – (either served by officer of canceled by clerk of court) I want to put a record count of each “warrant type” that is set as “active” in the {Warrant Disposition} Field in the database. I have a report that lists all active warrants and I have them grouped it by {Warrant Type} with a count at the end of each group. I just wanted to put a count in the report header so that I no longer needed to group the warrants by type. The report is easier for the officers to use when it is not grouped. Posted By: kevlray Date Posted: 10 Jun 2015 at 12:46pm It looks like you do not equal signs but use the startswith. {Warrant.Warrant_Type} startswith "AW" or {Warrant.Warrant_Disposition} starswith “Active” FYI:  I noticed that the warrant type starts with an AW not WA Posted By: ClantonC Date Posted: 11 Jun 2015 at 4:23am I am not sure why I didn't think to do it like that. I will give it a try! Sorry It used to be set to WA but to make it more uniformed I switched it to AW. Old habits! ;) Thank you very much for your help! PS. So I do need to use "or" instead of "and" ? Posted By: kevlray Date Posted: 11 Jun 2015 at 5:02am Opps!  Probably should be an AND since you only want to count when the Type starts with WA and the Disposition starts with Active.
