Running total in footer

I have a table with several In, Out and Bal columns. I would like a footer row that shows the current balance for each Bal column. So it needs to reference the most recent row.
Any ideas how to do this?

One solution would be like this for column B:
=OFFSET(B1,COUNT(B),0)
This formula assumes there is one header row, there are no gaps in the data, and all the data is numbers. You can drag-fill or copy-paste it to the rest of the column footers

Cumulative total - how to have a footer cell give running total

I'm working on a gas mileage spreadsheet. One column shows how many miles I went between gas fill ups. I'd like the footer cell in that column to show the running total. I'm running into a problem with the empty cells - they're causing a red triangle error in the footer cell. What's the formula to keep a running total of a set of cells, but ignore any blank cells?
Thanks,
Don

Hi Yvan,
Thanks for your response. The cells in C are output from other formulas. I used =SUM(C) for the cell (which happened to be the C column, by the way) and got the red triangle error. Is there a way for the footer cell in C to disregard the embedded formulas and take the output of each column cell instead, and get a running total of that?
Thanks,
Don

Running totals at the footer of the report

I want to create running totals but print them not in e.g. in a group footer. All totals should be printed at the end of the report. The number of needed running totals is not defined before, it depends on the number of different grouping criterias:
Example
Criteria   Amount
1995      10
1995       10
1996       20
1997       30
1997       10
At the end of the report shoul appear the following:
1995     20
1996     20
1997     40
There could be more criteria in the report (e.g. 1998 or 1999), but it is not defined before I start the report.
Thank you for your support

Hi Torsten,
If you want to create year wise running totals without considering groups, you can create like :
go in Field ExplorerRunning TotalsRight click and select New
Give the name as 1995 and select Field to summarize and select Sum as type of summary
In Evaluate select Formula and give a formula like : Year = 1995
In Reset do not reset. You get the value of 1995 year this can be placed at the end of your report.
You may have to create different funning total for different year.
Thanks,
Sastry

Associate a record name with a running total in Report Footer

Please Help!
I have a report that returns records for the most recent order recieved by vendor.
The page header displays Vendor, Contact, Order #, and date
I did a group by Vendor
I used a running total on the order date
with a summary of minimum
that evaluates on change of group
Reset never
This returns the last order date for the vendor with the oldest order
How can I get the vendors name that is associated with the oldest order date to display in the Rport Footer.

Please follow the following steps: I tested it and it works.You dont need to use running total.
1. Add the Vendor,Contact,Order #, Order Date to Details Section (u can delete them if not needed from details section)
2. Create a Group on Vendor.
3. Add a Summary i.e. Minimum(Order Date)
4. Copy this summary to Group Header if you want or just let it be in the Group Footer Section
5. Add a SubReport in the Report Footer Section.
6.The Subreport Should be based on the Command like:
SELECT `Orders`.`Customer ID`, `Orders`.`Order Date`
FROM `Orders` `Orders`
WHERE `Orders`.`Order Date`=
SELECT MIN(`Orders`.`Order Date`)
FROM `Orders` `Orders`)
7. Refresh the Report and you will see that Report Footer section displays all the vendors with minimum order date along with their name.
One more thing to keep in mind is that more than one vendor might have the same minimum order date.

Were you doing a Distinct Count? Did you have a formula on the Running Total? What is there about the Group Totals that make them different than the final total.

How do I use a running total within a selection formula?

I am developing a report within Crystal Reports 2008. My goal is to identify any accounts that have zero usage for at least six months in this current year. I have account number, meter size, read date, usage, and a running total/subtotal by account.
Here is what the data looks like in the report

My report shows all accounts that have zero usage. I want to filter the report to only show the accounts that have at least six zero usage reads. I thought I could add a running total, sum it, and filter the data by using the selection formulas. Unfortunately I keep getting an error message saying "this field cannot be used becuase it is being evaluated later." Any help would be appreciated. This is the first report I have created using crystal.

You could Conditionally suppress the account numbers where your running total is less than 6
You will probably have to put your account number summaries in the group footer, instead of the header.
Then:
go to the section expert, click on the group footer for the account number, on the right, next to the word "Suppress" click on the box that says "X-2". In the formula put
IF<6 then True
Save and close
The only way this would not work for you is if you have some sort of grand total that you don't want to include the other groups in.

Running Total - How to summarize a formula field?

I'm sorry if this comes over as stupid but I have got myself quite messed up and am not 100% au fait with Crystal Reporting.
The aim of my report is to calculate the costs of selected tests and to calculate a grand total of all tests at the end.
I have created a group of jobtests.TestTypeName
Details
1. testTypeName - to show Test Name that is being calcutaed - Database field
2. Count ({jobTests.testTypeName}, {jobTests.testTypeName}) - to show number of tests of that type - this is a formula field
3. Analysis1 - to show the cost of that test type - Database field
4. {@CountTests/TestType} * {jobTests.AnalysisN1} - to show the number of tests per test type mulitplied by the cost of that test type - this is a formula field
Report footer
Count ({jobTests.testTypeName}) - to count the total number of tests
MY PROBLEM - I need to see the sum of 4, this would be my grand total
Trying to run the Running Total I can't get it to Summarize the field 4 because it is a formula field.
What can I do?
Thanks.

You can't do a SUM on a formula that uses another aggregate function. However, for both 4 and your grand total, you just need to SUM() (with ",{jobTests.testTypeName}" for the #4 calc), as the database field will be the cost for each test in each record.

Error when using running total variable in formula

This is probably an easy syntax problem, but I'm fairly new to Crystal reporting. I created a running total variable (count) called InquiryTypeSubtotal that simply counts the number of records. I have one grouping level, and in the group footer I'd like to print a line showing the total count for that group that looks like
Total inquiries for Assistive Technology: 3
To accomplish this I'm using a formula field with the following syntax:
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText(@InquiryTypeSubtotal)
When I try to check the formula, I get the error message "The ) is missing." What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alec

I put in the curly brackets so my formula now reads
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText({@InquiryTypeSubtotal})
Now when I check the formula I get the error message "This field name is not known."

Running total across 2 grouping

Hi All
I have created a crystal report and i have 2 remaining issues that i just cant get around.
the report is basically about all the net stock position.
the report is based on a query..that links sales order to all target documents that originate from the sales orders, i.e...deliveries, invoices, returns, credit notes.
then i also brought in all the open purchase orders and the instock from the oitw
i then sumed up the lines so the sales order > Delivery > invoice > credit note > returns all shows in one line..and if there is a different unit of measure it will be another line for that sales order
the report is grouped:
 per warehouse
 per item
 per Sales Order Num
 per Item Unit of Measure
 per Line Num
1st issue:
in the selection criteria if the sales order is closed but if one of the delivery notes is open it should bring in the "whole set" not just the the open deliverys linked to the sales order.
this is because the delivered quantities adds up to the net position of the stock.
2nd issue:
I have to work out a net postion
formula: net stock = Oitw.instock + PO - remaining qty on sales order
I got the sales order as a negative
i used a running total formula, but it does not work if the sales order has more then one unit of measure.
whileprintingrecords;
If onfirstrecord or previous({Command.SO No.})<>{Command.SO No.} then
numbervar remain_bal:= remain_bal + {@QTY}
i tried to add another if statement..but does not work
whileprintingrecords;
If onfirstrecord or previous({Command.SO No.})<>{Command.SO No.} then
If onfirstrecord or previous({Command.SO Uom)<>{Command.SO Uom.} then
numbervar remain_bal:= remain_bal + {@QTY}
any help will be gladly welcomed..
thank you all
Jerusha

Hi Dave
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I have been using the base UoM, ie InvQty field.
my issues comes where i am grouping I am 1st grouping by sales order num, then by uom as the customer wants to see that as separate entries
Example:
SO Num Uom Qty InvQty
1 Bags 50 200
1 Bulk 100 100
This is the forumula for the running total:
If onfirstrecord or previous ({Command.SO No.}) <> ({Command.SO No.}) then
if ({Command.Doc Type}) = 'SO' then
 SO := SO + {@QTY}
However when i "print" my total and add it to the footer.. it will show 200 instead of 300.
Thanks

Running Total & Distinct Count Query

Crystal 10.0.0.533 CR Professional
Hope you can assist.
I have a report listing deals signed, each deal has a corresponding category i.e. industry type, Accountant, Chiropractor, Financial Services, etc.
I am undertaking a Distinct Count on these categories so that in the group footer it is showing number of different categories signed in a period (the report is grouped into different date periods). This is working OK.
However, I need to EXCLUDE the category from this distinct count if the deal value is zero.
I have tried using a formula to show a blank field if the value is zero, however it appears to be distinctly counting the blank as a category?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Tracy

Deffinetly it will be less than what you expect for grand total. It is because when you are calculating distinct count for each group suppose
Group A has categories A,B,C,D-->distinct count (4)
Group B has C,D,E,F-->distinct count (4)
but while calculating grand total then the distinct count will be
A,B,C,D,E,F --> grand total (6) but not (8).
In this case you need to use mannual running total like this
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar i;
i:=i+{running total};
place this in group footer and create another fomula like this
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar i;
place this in report footer to get the correct grand total.

Require a formula to calc the diff between 2 running total fields in a crosstab

Post Author: PJM
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have built a crosstab in Crystal XI with the following columns:
PROFILED BUDGET (a) EXPENDITURE TO DATE (b) VARIANCE (a-b)
The profiled budget and expenditure to date columns are both running total fields. I want the variance column to show the difference between the budget and expenditure.
To set the variance field up as a running total, I assume that I would have to specify that I want this formula evaluated after the budget and expenditure fields , however, I can't work out how to do this on a crosstab.
Moving the crosstab to the report footer has had no impact.
If I try to create a basic formula using the running totals, I get the error message "A summary has been specified on a non-recurring field" - I can't find an explanation of this error message on the help menu.
Can anyone help with this please?

overtime hours are calculated after 40. If I work 12 on monday, thats 12 regulars hours. not sure about others states laws but here in wisconsin we consider overtime after 40 only, not after 8 daily. at least thats how my company calculates overtime. lets say I work 10 hours a day, monday thru thursday, thats 40 hours regular time. anything after that is overtime. our weekly work schedule starts on sunday and ends on saturday. so on my bi-weekly time log, if i work 10 hrs a day monday thru thursday, i want 10hrs each day in regular hours cell, then when i work friday and or saturday, i want those hours in overtime hours. the main problem im having is: if i reach 40 hours in the middle of a day, i want the regular of that day to end and the overtime to pick up on the same day.
here is a basic example of how i want regular and overtime to look. of course the values will be duration not just numbers. hope this helps explain what i need a bit better.

Getting running total formula result at the beginning of the report

Hello All,
I am having an inquiry that if I can get a grand total in the report footer to the report header.
The grand total is not a direct sum. I am using three formulas
the first formula:
@reset Group Header
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sumpct4;
if not inrepeatedgroupheader then
sumpct4 := 0;
the second formula: Details section
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sumpct4 := sumpct4 + {@Total_Market}; // {@Total_Market}; = Amount+ Interest
numbervar grtotal4 := grtotal4 + {@Total_Market};
Group Footer
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sumpct4;
Report Footer
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar grtotal4;
All that I need is to show the total which is in the report footer at the top of the page where I am having a summary.
So, can you please help me.
Thanks

Hello my friend,
I want this to be controlled in crystal.
Is there is a way to get the grand total by using multiple formulas or any other way?
Here is the structure of my report:
Group Header 1: CCY
Group Header 2:Type
@reset Group Header
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sumpct4;
if not inrepeatedgroupheader then
sumpct4 := 0;
Group Header 3A: Deal No
Group Header 3B: Deal No (subreport to get the {@amount} for each deal)
I will pass the end_date from the main report to subreport and I will get the sum(amount) for each deal between date (1-1-2008) to end_date. The sum will be as a shared variable to the {@amount} formual in the main report.
Details:
Deal No, {@amount}, {@Price}, {@market}, {@Total_Market}
{@Price}: if {table.price} = 0 then
100
else {table.price}
{@market}: if Type <> "DEP" then
({@amount}*{@Price})/100
else
{@amount}
{@Total_Market}:{@market}+ {@Price}
Running formula to get Total_market: Details section
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sumpct4 := sumpct4 + {@Total_Market};
numbervar grtotal4 := grtotal4 + {@Total_Market};
Group Footer 3B: Deal No
Group Footer 3A: Deal No
Group Footer 2:Type
In this group I am placing a running total formula:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sumpct4;
Group Footer 1: CCY
Report Footer:
@grand_Total
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar grtotal4;
Now, i want this @grand_total formula result to be shown in Group Header 1: CCY.
I tried to insert a subreport at the beginning which it is a copy of the main report, but I did not get the coorec t result because I am getting the {@amount} from a subreport and in crystal I can't insert a subreport in an existing subreport.

Running total and Next function in Crosstab

Clarifications on getting Next Running sum and count on a Crosstab Here is the example, which I am working on:Highlights of the Report:- Report is grouped on {Scenario Name}- Left side dates on any of the tables is {Version Date}- Dates on the top header on any of the tables is {Fsc Week End Dt}- Other formulae used in this report are:1) = ({Query1.Demand Qty})/100000Numerical values displayed in the "Original values" table.2) =if {Query1.Scenario Name} = 'DLYPRD:ASCP-PRD:PRD' THEN mid ({Query1.Scenario Name},13,3)ELSE mid ({Query1.Scenario Name},13,6)Second column with value PRD in any of the tables.3) {next qty} = if not onlastrecord then next({@ShortDemandQty}) else 0;(used in the "next values vertically" table)4) - running total to calculate horizontallyEvaluate - For each recordReset - On change of field: {Version Date}5) - running total to calculate vertically.Evaluate - For each recordReset - On change of field: {Fsc Week End Dt} In this report design, when I go and change the Sort order in the Record Sort Expert, some of the values go for a toss. I got two cases where the vertical values are correct in one case and horizontal values are correct in another case. First Case: Cumulative vertical values are correct.  Second Case: Cumulative horizontal values are correct.  Is there any way to consistisize both the horizontal and vertical running totals. I even tried forcing the evaluate & reset like below and clearing the record sort order, but it did not work: 1) - running total to calculate horizontallyEvaluate - On change of field: {Fsc Week End Dt}Reset - On change of field: {Version Date}2) - running total to calculate vertically.Evaluate - On change of field: {Version Date}Reset - On change of field: {Fsc Week End Dt} And one more observation on the running total, how it works in the crosstab is, the total runs likes a spiral rather than resetting at the column or row level. Is there any way to restrict this? 3) {next qty} = if not onlastrecord then next({@ShortDemandQty}) else 0;(used in the "next values vertically" table) For example, onlastrecord does not seem to work on the "next values vertically" crosstab, rather brings the record from the next column.For 3/7/2007 - 01/APR/07, the value is 157.84 which is incorrect and should be 0.I need to get a next on the running total. Next (fld) doesnot work for running totals. Please guide me, how to get the next values for the running total fields.

CA Forum: Formula
Whoops I guess I should have mentioned that I've already tried using Sum and Round(Running Total, 2) and haven't had any luck.
I also should have mentioned that Groupings 1 and 2 are sums, and that Running Total is a running total that changes on every change of the grouping. There are 4 groupings.
Grouping 1 (Employee Name)
Grouping 1.1 (Shift)
Grouping 1.2.1 (Payroll Department Code)
Grouping 1.2.1.1 (Description)
Below these 4 groupings is where the running total is. The issue is that in the footer of grouping 1 is a field that sums the elapsed hours for the particular employee by each payroll department code, these are then summed using the running total. The issue is as stated in the earler post that I can round these individual sums on the groupings, but I get the number on my running total to round differently as you can see by the earlier post's example.
Thanks for the help.

Running totals in crystal designer

Hi all!
I want to create a report with running total, that accumulate Balance value for each page.
Total accumulate should be reseted on each new page.
I have a query for report: SELECT CardCode, CardName, Balance FROM OCRD.
And i want a running total for field "Balance" (this total should be reseted on each new page).
In Crystal Designer I create new Running Total Field (in the PageFooter section).
In the Editing Running Total window I fill the following sections:
1) Summary section. Field to summarize: "Command.balance". Type of summary: "sum".
2) Evaluate section. On change of field: "command.cardcode"
3) Reset section. I want to choose PageNumber in the field "on change of field". But there is no any special field in the section "Available tables and fields"
How to reset the running total on each new page?
Thanks in advance

Hi all!
The problem can be solved with report formulas. Probably this information will be useful to somebody.
So, we have the following task: need to calculate subtotals on each page.
Let's look at the solution.
On the first step, create Formula fields:
1) InitPageSum field has formula:
 WhilePrintingRecords; NumberVar PageSum := 0;
2) CalcPageSum field has formula:
 WhilePrintingRecords;
 numberVar PageSum := PageSum + {Command.LineTotal}; // I use command to get field-values from //database
 numberVar PageSum
3) PageBalance field has the following formula:
 WhilePrintingRecords; numberVar PageSum
On the second step we place formula-fields in report sections.
1) Variables initialization.
Insert section in PageHeader area (lets name this section PHa). Drag formula InitPageSum into PHa for zeroing PageSum for each page. Then suppress the section PHa.
2) Increasing subtotal on page.
Create additional section in Details area (Dc). Drag CalcPageSum formula-field on this section (Dc). PageSum variable will be increasing in each line. Suppress the section Dc.
3) Display results.
a) Insert additional section in PageFooter area (let's name it PFa). Drag PageBalance formula-field into this section (PFa). The section PFa should be displayed on each page of the report, except the last page. The formula is:
if PageNumber <> TotalPageCount then true else false.
b) Insert additional section in ReportFooter area (let's name it RFa) and make this section the first section of the Report Footer area. Drag PageBalance formula-field into the section RFa. The section RFa should be displayed on the last page only. So, for the Suppress property of this section, create the formula:
if PageNumber = TotalPageCount then true else false
We make this adjustment (additional section in report footer area) because we need subtotals directly under the report (and not at the bottom of the page)
Best regards,
Katrine

Cumulative Balance Running Total

Hello community,
i am doing a business partner Account balance report, i have already successfully fetch my data in to crystal reports as well as the running total for the cumulative balance, my problem is i have a duplicated rows in debit side, now how will i say to crystal reports (in Formula expression) that the 1st line if duplicated will the only one to be evaluated. for more detail please see image below

hello sharonamt,
thanks for the response.
//Head
Shared NumberVar OB := {Command.Open Balance}
//Line
shared numbervar OB;
OB := OB + {BP_AccountBalance;1.Credit} - {BP_AccountBalance;1.Debit}
//Footer
Shared numbervar OB
i have this ff. formula the header is put in the page header, the line is put ing Group Footer section and the footer is put in report footer section. my group is grouped by Ref field w/c is unique in this report.
the duplicated rows is eliminated since i put my line formula in the group footer. but using the ff. formula's the report is ok, the results is fine on the first page only, because in the second page it will get the OB balance which is in the page header of the report., i dont needt to reset my running total.
thanks.
please help
best regards.
EDIT:
i have manage to figure out my problem... i just use this formula and it works.
whileprintingrecords;
if pagenumber = 1 then Shared NumberVar OB := {OpeningBalance.Open Balance}
else
0
since im having problem with reseting of the openingbalance, i had trap the page numvber and never reset the running total. this formula works for me as of now.
