Hi there,
 
i am dying for help here...
I am trying to summarize a formula to be placed on group header 1.
My formula is actually found in group header 2 and it contains:
 
"if {@A27-ClassofService}="Economy" then Sum (gross_ticket_extax, ticket_no)+Sum (total_tax,ticket_no)"
 
is it becos CR cant summarize on a summary?
 
Thanks in advance...

No, it is that Crystal doesn't summarize where the results are variable...The way to summarize this may be a running total, that is DBlank's forte, but the way that I would do it is with shared variables.
 
for your case, probably 3 formulas will be needed, the hard one you already have.
 
In GH1 a reset formula:
shared numbervar total:=0;
"" //to hide the rest
 
In GF1, the display:
shared numbervar total
 
In the GH2, adding the sums together:
shared numbervar total;
local numbervar thisTotal := 0;  //or whatever was displayed before
 thisTotal := Sum (gross_ticket_extax, ticket_no)+Sum (total_tax,ticket_no);
 
total := total + thisTotal;  //increment your sum
 
thisTotal  //display the total for GH2
 
 
HTH
