Hi,
I have a report which brings in shared variables to main report from subreport. i am doing a simple calculation: {#RTotalEssl}+{@Shared Essl}-{@shared essl deletes} where #RTotalEssl value = 0 and @Shared Essl = -2197.70 and @shared essl deletes = 0 I am getting a value of zero. Yet when i bring each number into the report to see what the values are, they are as listed above. total should be -2197.70 I am going crazy with this one. It should be working and it should not be that difficult! |

I always break a formula that is not working into pieces...like one for the running total and one for the shared variable. See if they are working as expected.

Hi! Thanks for your reply! The issue has been resolved. I was adding a negative to a zero and didn't realize that adding a negative to a null or zero, it is still null. So i learned something  Have a great weekend!
