Group Footer Sum Problem

Hi Oracles!
I am using Crystal 8.5 and I am having a problem getting a SUM in a group footer. In the column I wish to add up and place in the footer has a formula field with the following:
Sum ({TicketDetail.packetsSold}, {Product.description})*{Product.costPrice}
This give me a total per line of the cost but I would like to add the lines together.
I am a novice...
Many thanks
David

Hi David,
OK got it!
Here's what you need to do:
1) Modify the formula to:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar fin_sum;
fin_sum := fin_sum + (Sum ({TicketDetail.packetsSold}, {Product.description})*{Product.costPrice});
Sum ({TicketDetail.packetsSold}, {Product.description})*{Product.costPrice};
2) Create another formula with this code and place it in the Group footer 3 section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar fin_sum;
3) You then need a reset formula so that this sum adds up values only to the respective groups:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar fin_sum := 0;
This reset formula needs to be placed on the Group Header section. I guess in this case it will be the Group header 3.
Let me know how this goes!

Problems with summary field in group footer

Hello
In a dynamically generated Report in c#, i made a sum in some group footer i have generated.
the values to sum are integers. But Crystal show a result like that : 1254.00 and i want it this 1254.
here the code use to make the sum in the group footer
l_CrySectionSousTotal = m_ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.get_GroupFooterArea(b_intNumGroupe).Sections[0];
l_champsTotal.FieldFormat.NumericFormat.RoundingFormat = CrRoundingTypeEnum.crRoundingTypeRoundToUnit;
l_champsTotal.FieldFormat.NumericFormat.NDecimalPlaces = 0;
l_champsTotal.DataSource = "Sum ({ado.Poids})";
m_ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(l_champsTotal, l_CrySectionSousTotal, -1);
it's seem's like the NDecimalPlaces property do nothing.... i don't understand.
if you have an exemple of use of NDecimalPlaces ....
thanks for you help.

Hello, Jonik;
The formatting changes will not take effect unless you tell the field not to use the default values.
So, try adding a line of code such as:
l_champsTotal.FieldFormat.CommonFormat.EnableSystemDefault = False;
before:
l_champsTotal.FieldFormat.NumericFormat.RoundingFormat = CrRoundingTypeEnum.crRoundingTypeRoundToUnit;
l_champsTotal.FieldFormat.NumericFormat.NDecimalPlaces = 0;

Suppressing a line if the sum of a value = 0 in a group footer

How do i suppress a line if the sum of a value = 0 in a group footer
I have tried this this formula in the section expert - Sum ({RM_INV.QUANTITY}) = 0
will not work.

Hi Dana,
The sum function needs to include the group you have your total in like:
Sum ({table.FIELD1}, {RM_INV.QUANTITY}) = 0
{table.FIELD1} would be the field you are grouping on. Your formula was summing the grand total for RM_INV.QUANTITY.
Thanks,
Brian

Have a gap in detail of first page and not display group footer on each pag

Please help me about Memo field in SubReport in CrystalReportXI. I have a SubReport that need to display pageheader, detail, page footer, and in detail of subreport contains memo field and set the property of this text box to "Can Grow" = Yes .However, CrystalReportX does not support to display pageheader, pagefooter in SubReport. So. I have created a formular FakePageHeader that has code as
"WhileReadingRecords;
true"
and group in this field and checked option repeat group header on each page and right click Section Expert->check print at Bottom of page for Group Footer.
This problem is when I preview Subreport. It display text in group header and a gap in detail of first page and view next page, the subreport display right data of memo field. But the report still not display group footer on each page.
How do I can remove a gap in first page and display group footer on each page?
Thanks

in subreport in format for the memo field uncheck keep object together.
You can not force group footers to repeat on each page.
I have not tried this but you might be able to capture the data you want to show in SR page footer and display in main report page footer, using shared variables.

Repeat group footer on each page

Hi all,
I have a regular report with 1 Group. My problem is that my report doesn't repeat group footer on each page. I know that in Grouping options there is an option for "Repeat Group Header on each page" checkbox which makes the Group Header print on each page. I've found that Header and Footer both work together and that if you print Header it will print footer as well. The thing is I have paging functionality (<a href='http://www.crystalreportstrainingbootcamp.com/resources/trainers_talk_detail.asp?Title=03'>click here for paging details</a>) in my report in the Group, so once it reaches 14 lines in Details it goes to the next page, prints the GROUP HEADER but not the GROUP FOOTER on each report page.
Does anybody know why?
I found the following topic: <a href='http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do;jsessionid=90BF3D79A308CCF6B58F1E2656225CDD?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2004981&sliceId=&dialogID=360384&stateId=1%200%20356275'>Creating a fake group header for orphaned group footers</a> but it's for CR 7. Was it resolved in newer releases of CR or it still needs a work around? I'm not even sure if that will fix my problem...
Thank you,

How to get the value of a variable in group footer in the report footer also

I have a placed a formula as below at the group footer and the report footer. The data is grouped on the basis of duedays which is again formula and the value in that is appearing correctly.
Whilereadingrecords;
Global Numbervar CNTONE;
Numbervar P := P+1;
IF P = 1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 0
THEN CNTONE := {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
ELSE IF P>1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 0
THEN CNTONE := CNTONE + {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
At the group footer I get the value correctly for CNTONE but when I place the formula in Report footer I get the value for CNTONE as 0.
Please do let me know how I could get the same value in the report footer also.
Regards
Sreejith J

Hi Abhilash;
When I give the statement whileprintingrecords then my above formula sums up only the first record and the last record of the group and when I give whilereadingrecords it adds up all the data in the group correctly.
The formula that you mentioned for the report footer had worked out and it is showing my result correctly.
I did not put up the reset formula on the group footer because as the group changes I had used another variable in another formula for example for the second group I used
Whilereadingrecords;
Global Numbervar CNTTWO;
Numbervar Q := Q+1;
IF Q = 1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 30
THEN CNTTWO := {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
ELSE IF Q>1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 30
THEN CNTTWO := CNTTWO + {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
I have set up total 5 such formulas as the number of groups that will be formed is 5. I have put up these formulas on the group footer and suppressed it as I dont want to get it displayed.
The as you suggested the solution for Report Footer I did that and getting the result correctly.
I dont know I may be following a longer procedure
Take Care

How do I keep together items in a group footer?

I have a report that has a line of detail, followed by a subreport, and then another subreport all in the group footer. The report is also formatted to be displayed in two columns. The problem I am having is that even with the keep together checkbox selected in the group footer, often times the line of detail and the first subreport are displayed and the second subreport is shown in the second column. They need to all move to the second column if there is not enough room in the first column for everything to be displayed. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
For example:
Information               Subreport2
Subreport1               Information
Subreport2               Subreport1
Information               Subreport2
Subreport1
When what I want is:
Information               Information
Subreport1               Subreport1
Subreport2               Subreport2
Information
Subreport1
Subreport2
Or:
Information               Information
Subreport1               Subreport1
Subreport2               Subreport2
                                 Information
                                 Subreport1
                                 Subreport2

How to suppress page header when rendering particular group footer

Description: I am using Crystal Reports 2008. I have a report with a page header, and several groupings. The groups all suppress their headers, but have footers. The grouping is in the order: type,county,city,status,parent. The first 3 footers force a new page before the footer. The county footer includes summaries and charts.
Problem: The client wants the header displayed for the detail and the header for the county footer to be different. How can I make this happen?
More Info: I currently have just a page header. I have tried messing with the suppress formula for the page header, but I cannot figure out the correct formula to use to suppress the page header on a county footer page. Is there a way to do this, or is there a completely different approach I should be taking to solve this?
I can provide more info if needed.
Google search was unhelpful in solving this problem. This problem is driving me nuts. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

What i would suggest is to create a new variable in WhilePrintingRecords evaluation time. For example:
1. Boolean variable set to TRUE in Group Footer #2 (County)
2. Reset it to FALSE in Group Header #2 and Group Footer#1
3. Use the variable for conditional suppression

Report Builder Group Footer Bug?

Data contained in a group footer does not print on a new page
when the group footer is the only section left to fill on the
current page. This is a serious problem when you embed a subreport
in a group footer because the subreport also fills on the same
column and overwrites the existing information instead of forcing a
new page.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Any suggestions?
Here is an example: Notice the data overwritten in the upper
right column. The footer info should have forced a new page.

footer problem example

Try using the Properties Panel - Elements selector to select
the hidden text fields. You should be able to delete them once they
are selected.

Group Number in Group footer

Hi,
I want to display group number in the footer of group in SSRS(this task needs to be done in report but not in sql).How can we accomlish this.
Ex:If report is grouped by state
PA(GroupHeader)
Detail row
GroupFooter(1)
NJ(GroupHeader)
Detail row
GroupFooter(2)
i.e for PA group in footer it should display 1.
for 2 nd group display 2 and so on.q

Hi,
Modify the code as below,
shared dim Categories as new collection
shared Counter as integer=0
public function getGroupCounter(Item as String) as String
if Categories.contains(Item) then return "Group Footer " & Categories(Item).tostring()
Counter=Counter+1
Categories.add(Counter,Item)
return "Group Footer " & Counter.tostring()
end function
Then modify the expression that calls the code. You have to pass parameter that makes it unique througout your report. You may need to concatenate all the values of the group levels from 7 to 2 to achieve this like shown below.
=Code.getGroupCounter(Fields!Field1.Value & Fields!Field2.Value & Fields!Field3.Value)
Replace Field1, Field2 etc with the Field names you used in the group by while creating the groups.
Please feel free to discuss any further questions.

Dynamic Picture Displaying in the Group Footer Section

Hi all,
I am building a sales quotation layout for SBO in crystal 2008.
The layout has only one group. The first line in each group in considered to be a slaes tree father.
For every group i need to display the picture of the "father" in the group footer (one picture for every group).
I get up to the stage when for each line in the detailes section i have a picture, but for all the lines other then the "father" line the picture is supressed.
My problem is moving the displayed fahter picture from the detailes section to the group footer section. Every time i copy the picture field to the group footer nothing is displayed.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Udi

A group footer will dis[lay contents of the last record. You need to sort records to ensure that the last record contains link to your dynamic image.

How to show the total in group footer in group header?

Hello,
I am having difficulties while showing the total of a group footer in the group header. The total in the group footer is correct, but when i am placing the formula in the header it is giving me 0.
I am having 2 formulas to get the total which i placed in the footer:
1.
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sumpctx := sumpctx + {@Sum OB};
2.
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar sumpctx;
numbervar DispSales;
DispSales := sumpctx;
sumpctx := 0;
DispSales;
now, I want to add the 2 formula in the header, but it is giving me 0 value, But in the group footer it is showing the correct value.
I tried to do:
Sum ({@Sum OB}) and it is giving that the field can not be summarized.
The group Name is @Entity which is grouped by.
@Entity :
if {Customer.NAME}="NONE" THEN
" OB"
ELSE {Customer.NAME}
Thanks in advance for yopur help.

Hi,
What i was trying to say there is a hierarchy in report design and records are processed in that way.
Report header/footer - only once
Page header/footer -once in a page
detail -n no of times ,n-no of rows of data
First report header will be processed,then page header n detail,after that report and page footer.
If u insert a group,then the order will be-
report header,page header,group header,detail,group footer,detail,report and page footer.
When u r in group header,all the records are not processed,that results the sum as zero.
But when u create a formula,it calculates the sum first and then u put it there.
I hope this time it will be helpful for u.

Repeat group header on every page before group footer as group spans across

I have a group which spans across multiple pages.In group there are two subreports in Group footer.I have set all the required parameters to repeat group header on every page in group expert,but not getting desired results,please help....

I have following structure in my report.
I have two group headers at the top,first one contains name of the site & site number,second header contains Site-Admin as heading,below which i have kept details section of report which displays name of administrator which repeats details section in case there are more than one adminstrators.
Below this i have two group footers which individually contain each of the two sub-reports.
As per data,these individual subreport may or may not begin at the beginning of the new page every
time,therefore fake group header put at the beginning of these sub-reports may come in middle of the page sometime,so thet cant be done.
Thank you,please reply if you have another solution....

How to suppress page header when group footer prints

I would like to suppress the page header on my report when a group footer prints. My group footer is going to be a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo and I'm going to have it do a page break before so it prints on it's own page. I do not want my page header info printing on this page.
Is there a way to do this? I am on Crystal XI. Thank you in advance.

I haven't tested this, but...
Formula @InGroupHeader:
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar InGroupFooter;
InGroupFooter = False;
Formula @InGroupFooter:
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar InGroupFooter;
InGroupFooter = True;
PageHeader.Suppress:
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar InGroupFooter;
InGroupFooter;
Edit: I think I like Graham's solution better, actually.
