Group number for multiple groups

Question

I have a report that has two groups. I would like to get the total number of groups in Group 2 under each group of Group 1. I know there is a Group Number field in the special fields but that will only give me the group number of Group 2 for the whole report. To clarify assuming Group 1=A and Group 2=B:
A-1
     B-1
     B-2
     B-3
A-2
     B-1
     B-2

Answer 1

HI,
If i understood exactly, You want to display Number of B groups  in group A's Footer. Like
A-1
B-1
B-2
B-3
Total No Of B:3
A-2
B-1
B-2
Total No Of B:2
Right?!!
For this You need to write 3 formulas,
1, First Formula,
Shared numberVar Num:=0;
Drag and drop this formula field into GroupA header. And Suppress it
2,Second formula,
Shared numberVar Num:=Num+1;
Num
Drag and drop this formula field into GroupB header. And Suppress it
3,Third one,
shared numberVar Num;
Num;
Drag and drop this formula field into GroupA Footer With Appropriate Label(Like "Total No Of B:"). This will give you the count of B's in GroupA footer.
Regards,
Salah.
