	I have tried that with the jobid, the problem i ran into was it added the job numbers togther and then devided by the count. Giving me an average that mactched the job number. Thats why i have been trying to use a set of running totals. One for the group and another for the report total.

	you can change the level at which is shows the percentage by changing the group level in the percentage option section of teh summary. Am I missing something else there?

	All i have there is a grand total of job id. IT appears to be adding the job ids together to get the total.

	try adding another insert summary as... field to summarize = your PK field type = distinct count location = gf1 this should be your count of all jobs per customer now use this as your level to get the percentages per job This gf1 summary field can be suppressed

	I dont think that will work. There are multiple instances of the same job as it will retry in the autoscheduler. To do so i would need to find away to use the masterserver, jobid, instance combined to accomplish that. I dont think that would give me what i am fully looking for.

	I was trying to give you a way to avoid sub reports. If you can garner your numbers via an insert summary function (however you figure it out) these can be used as values BEFORE the last record in calculation is printed. If you cannot do this then you would have to use sub reports to get your value for the percentage. You can create the subreport in the section before the value is needed (e.g. a GH1a) then pass the values from the subreport back to the main report via a shared variable. This has to be after the subreport is run (e.g GH1b). Then that value (in the shared variable)can be used in any calculation formula in the main report you want anywhere 'below' GH1b.

	I apprciate the assitacnce DBlank. I am working to attempt the idea on the job instance but i am not sure its working. I am going to play with a few options there, but it seems to not update the total count correctly. It still appears to be adding up the sum of the job ids and then averaging that. Are you aware of any other way i may be able to precent the data. I have thought about cross-tab but i am not sure if it would work either in the way i am needing. I thought this would be a pretty striaght approch or simple thing to do. Bottom line all i need is the group average of the overall record count. I want to know what average of the failures reported by that that jobid are in relation to the overall count from all jobs.

	Hmm. Make a formula to do the percentage for you. DistinctCount ({table.pk}, {table.jobtitle}) % DistinctCount ({table.pk}, {table.client})

	the formula should work because it is using the summary values of the distinctcount of PK @ both Group 1 and Group 2 Edited by DBlank - 16 May 2011 at 8:22am
