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!

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!
