I have a case where I have dragged 2 fields I a sql expression field (denominator) and 2 sum in a grouping so it looks like this <Text Object>{Sum of @del_ammount_over500k}/{%totalBalanceOfLoans}</Text Object> I just types the "/" in between them thinking that it would just do the mathematical operation. is there a eval() type function that makes the / be taken leteral? Replies: Posted By: kevlray Date Posted: 14 Jun 2018 at 11:16am No.  The fields would have to be in a formula.  I have never used the eval function.  Not sure how it works.
