Using Crystal 2013 - v 14.1.7.1853

I have been trying to move my ( ) around, can't figure out what I am doing wrong on this formula. Then it dawned on me, can I actually do a count combining the IF statement else like I am trying to do?

numberVar totCount01;
if {@Work Days} > 2 and ({GENERIC_VW.USER_DEF2} = "TRUE") then
    totCount01:= totCount01 + 1;
else
if {@Work Days} > 3 and ({GENERIC_VW.USER_DEF2} <> "TRUE") then
    totCount01:= totCount01 + 1;
totCount01;

if you are trying to get two distinct counts no you cannot do it this way, you need two distinct sets of formula to return distinct results. Or create two running totals with two different evaluate formulas.

Thanks DBlank - was thinking that in my mind, just needed some confirmation! Will proceed with the 2 distinct formulas.

Or if you have two global/shared variables, you can do two different counts in a formula.  If and when you may want to reset the values will require a separate formula.  And you would need two formulas (one for each variable) to display the values.
