    Posted: 02 May 2011 at 11:26am
Hoping someone can help me with this. I have a formula that is working correctly and can total by Group, but I am having trouble getting a grand total out of this. I get the "This field cannot be summarized". The formula is not available in the data source so I had to create a formula in Crystal.
 
IF {billing_frequency} like "*quarter*" THEN
{#RTotal1}/3 else if {billing_frequency} like "*2-Annual*" Then {#RTotal1}/6 Else if
{billing_Frequency} like "*yearly*" then {#RTotal1}/12
ELSE
{#RTotal1}
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

add a shared variable and local variable to the formula:

shared numbervar grandTotal;
local numbervar thisLine;
 
set each case to the local variable, for example:
ELSE
  thisLine := {#RTotal1}
 
update the shared variable
grandTotal := grandTotal + thisLine;
 
display the local, as that is what is desired from this formula
thisLine
 
 
to display the grand total on the report, create a formula:
shared numbervar grandTotal;
grandTotal
 
 
What you are doing is creating your own running total and then displaying the results at the end of the report.

This sounded much easier than I am finding it. Using Local and Shared variables is a first for me.
 
When I try this, I get zeros:
 
shared numbervar grandtotal;
local numbervar thisLine;

IF {frequency} like "*quarter*" THEN
thisline/3 else if {frequency} like "*2Annual*" Then thisline/6 Else if
{frequency} like "*yearly*" then thisline/12
ELSE
thisline

I know I must be missing something simple..HELP!

local numbervar thisLine;
shared numbervar grandTotal;
 
IF {billing_frequency} like "*quarter*" THEN
  thisLine:={#RTotal1}/3
else
  if {billing_frequency} like "*2-Annual*" Then
    thisLine:={#RTotal1}/6
  Else
    if {billing_Frequency} like "*yearly*" then
      thisLine:={#RTotal1}/12
    ELSE
      thisLine:={#RTotal1};
 
grandTotal := grandTotal + thisLine;
thisLine
 
 
set the value that you want to the local variable,
set the grand total to keep a running total of the values
 
in another formula, display the grand total:
shared numbervar grandTotal;
grandTotal
