Running Total in Group Header

Post Author: bahamaER
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello, I have been reviewing threads for running totals and would like some assistance on creating a running total for a group with a condition that will display in the group header, the running total should also reset for each group. Is this possible?
I know that there are some constraints such as the variable being reset to 0 in the header for each group as well as the group records have not been rendered when the header formulas are being assessed. I have been able to accomplish the task of running totals with conditions for groups using a running total field and also 3 separate formulas placed in the group header, detail and footer. The display is only correct in the group footer; my goal is to have the footer formula in the group header. Any ideas? I am currently using CR 8.5 but will be upgrading to CR 2008.
Thankyou

Hi,
If you are trying to calculate Total and display it in Group Header for field value placed in Detail, then you will get incorrect/no value for total, as Crystal Reports prints/processes the report line by line and it will not be able to process the Total for field in Detail section in Group Header.
Its is by Design.
For a workaround:
- Insert the same probematic report (Say A.rpt) as a Subreport in Group Header of this report(Say A.rpt).(Say in GroupHeader A1) and link the Main Report to the
- Insert Section Below (Say GroupHeader A2)
- Calculate Total in Section Group Header A2)
This workaround will reduce the Performance of the report as Subreport will be proceed for each Group Value.

Kiran

Running total in group header doesn't display when it's at page bottom

Post Author: Charles Denight
CA Forum: Formula
Hi, Using v.9 of Crystal Reports I've created some running totals using a cross-tab workaround to get the running totals into the group headers, but when the group header falls at the bottom of the page then the running total doesn't show up.Would appreciate knowing why and how to fix this.

Replacing an item that is malfunctioning because of a manufacturing error is the bare minimum I would expect from customer service for any electronics item.
The thing Apple does extremely well is their flat fee policy for repairs on their computers.
I managed to break my MacBook pretty seriously (logic board needed to be replaced) and I'm sure it cost them more to repair the unit than the $328 they charged me.
I probably would have been angry if it was something minor, but I'm guessing that most repairs to screens/motherboards/etc cost more than their flat fees.

I know there is a way to do this, just forgot how. i am in version 8.5. i have a manual running total which calculates order qty for the entire sales order.i (dont like using the rt wizard-buggy)
the knowledge base says to use a cross tab, but there hit or miss also.
does anyone know how to show the display formula for a manual runnning total in the group header instead of group footer?

Hi Sharon,
I wanted to try this before I sent it to you, but my Crystal is down because (blah, blah, long story here....yawn....).
I think I understand. You want to show the "Total" for each group, in the group header instead of the group footer?
My experience is that Crystal works from the top down (read: limiting), so I need a work around to do this.
1 - Do the calculation in the query...sum by group, filter with a "Case" statement, etc. If there's a reason you can't do that then
2 - (and this is what I wanted to try first) see if you can group on the same field twice.
Group 1 - Test.field
Group 2 - Test.field (same field)
If you can,
then just carry the total from the group footer of the previous group (same field) above you, and bring it down
(shared var ?) to the group below.
My 2 cents is up.
Hope this helps,

Running total above Group

Hey,
I may be having a brain freeze. I need to print a running total (max) above the detail lines of a report. Since the running total is not known until after the detail lines, is there a way to do this? I'm stuck and frustrated. Thanks,
Jim

I'm starting to think I am going about this in the wrong way. My report has a field named 'tolerance' which is on every other record but does not appear in the report detail. It is the same value for every record in the group. I need to capture the value and display it in the group header. I was attempting to do a max() running total, and the field looked fine in the group footer, but when I copied it to the group header to changed to blank.
I think there must be a simpler way to do this, but I don't know what it is. Thanks for your help,
Jim

How to store running sum of group header fields

HI All,
        I am bit confused how to do this so writing the post here. I have a group header which gets the amount spent by cost centre by account number
the group contains the following fields
[Account Number] [SDESCR] [sum of coscentre1] [sum of costcentre2] and so on.
The end result i get as follows
Account number Description     Coscentrenumber1 CostCentrenumber2 and so on
100                       cash at bank     6000                        7000
200
and so on
now i want
                                      Total    Sumof(Costcentrenumber1)   Sumof(Concentrenumber2)
how can I achieve this ? am confused how to store the value of [sum of costcentre1] into a shared variable and use this shared variable in page footer to display the total ?

Let me be more clear I need the out out something like
Account number Description   Costcentrenumber1 Costcentrenumber2 Costcentrenumber3
100                                                 6000                       7000                            800
200                                                 4000                        5000                         300
         Toal                                    10000                           12000                     1100
the account numbers are placed in Group header so that we group all the transactions by account number. Say for example when i said account number 100 above in the backend
it is as follows
Account number     Costcentrenumber1
100                          2000
100                         2000
100                         2000
In the crystal the above logic is placed in Group header by creating Group Name fields
so that end result in the report it is shown as
Account number Coscentrenumber1
100                        6000
Now in the report at the end i want the sum by Costcentrenumber.
as 10000 shown above.
Hope am clear.

Running Total Changes?

Post Author: cjsmile2106
CA Forum: Formula
Hello Everyone
I have a weird problem. I have a report that has three groups. In each group I have manual running totals. I would like to take a manual running total that I have in Group 2 and subtract it from my Group 3 manual running total. However when I attempt this for some odd reason by manual running total from Group 2 is not subracting that same number. For example:
Group3
5 - 7 = -210 - 7 = 315 - 7 = 820 -7 13
Group 2
-7
Its not doing that however, it seems to be subracting some random numbers instead of the Group 2 total. Thank you for your assistance!

make sure you do not have repeat group header or keep group together checked, causing weird mrt. make sure the variable name is not used in another variable name. you may need to place the formula that is subtracting the display formulas below the other to get an accurate set, and use whileprintingrecords

Percent on Running totals

Post Author: llcoolt
CA Forum: Formula
I have a couple of group running totals:
TotalItems
TotalCompleteAtExp
I need to create a formula that finds the percentage of the two. Any help? Would this be in a running total?

Post Author: llcoolt
CA Forum: Formula
but it's calculated at a group level, not as a percentage for the whole report.
The running totals were grouped by vendors. The percentage I was looking for was also grouped by vendor, not a percentage of ALL service orders and the vendors they were assigned to, but percentages run per vendor based on those completed by vendor.

Running Total does not reset when group changes

I have a manual running total for group3 that does not reset for group2
Group2 Header (Order Status 3=Open,4=Closed)
WhilePrintingRecords;
currencyVar WIP=0;
Group3 footer (Order Number)
WhilePrintingRecords;
currencyVar WIP;
WIP := WIP + {@NETWIP}
Group2 footer
WhilePrintingRecords;
currencyVar WIP;
There are no Repeat Group header on any of the groups
Will add Group1 total when this part works.

I am not sure if you made a typo when making your post but you are missing a colon when resetting your variable
change from this
currencyVar WIP=0;
to this
currencyVar WIP:=0;

Running Total Grouping Formula

I have a running total condition that I need to summarize the field CAWP.BAC. I would typicaly evaluate this total for change of group 4 and reset on change of group 3. I need to condition the evaluation for ".900" in {CAWP.WP} but i also need to evaluate for change of group 4. Does any one have any examples of a formula for evaluation "on change of group"?

Hi John,
    For this you can try using manual running total formula's.
1) Create a @reset formula as below and place it in group header 3.
    Formula :
    Whileprintingrecords;
    Numbervar i:=0;
2) Create an @evaluation formula and place it in detail section.
   Formula:
   whileprintingrecords;
   numbervar i;
   if {CAWP.WP} = ".900" then
      i:= i+ {CAWP.BAC}
3) Create a @display formula and place it in group footer 4.
    Formula:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i;
Hope this will help!!

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

Oracle report running total Resetting balance on next group

Dear All,
I am developing report on Oracle R12 fixed Assets, I have to calculate the running total for each asset.
In brief
Asset 1
cost Deprciation Adjusted Cost
50 - 2 48
48 -5 45
45 - 4 41
I achieved that by using
if :p_val is null then
:result := nvl(:cost,0)-nvl(:depriciation,0);
:P_val :='5';
return :result;
else
:result := nvl(:result,0)-nvl(:depriciation,0) ;
return :result;
end if;
working fine
But problem is when the next asset start on same report
Asset 2
cost Deprciation Adjusted Cost
100 5 36
it substracts the last total (running total of previous asset with depriciation which was 41 in this example).
Oracle Champs pl advice me how to solve this.
I really dont got any idea how to solve this.
thanks

Dear,
Thanks for your reply , in your reply what you said I tried this but in pl/sql I am not actually achieving the result. The balance is not resetting at next group if you give one accurate line it would be really helpfull.
thanks

Running total / Summary - 3 groups

Dear All,
I am facing an problem in Summary / Running Total in my crystal Report. I have 3 groups as under :
1) Document Series
2) Territory
3) Transaction Details which includes Document Total
Now Example my document series is Projects and Territory is Japan and India and in Transaction Details which is document total has values of 100, 200, 300,500 for Japan and 300,400 for India
Now I am not able to bring a summary / running total of Japan which should be 1100 and for India 700 respectively.
I want summary for Document Series Also means for Projects it should show the total of 1100 + 700 = 1800
and a grand total of 1800 if its only projects series and if other series it should show projects + handling series.
Pleas help as I have tried but not been successful.
regards,
kamlesh

for Territory Running total
1. Field to summarize : documentTotal
2. Evaluate : for each record
3. Reset: on change of field -> Territory
Place it in Territory Group footer
for Document Series Total
1. Field to summarize : documentTotal
2. Evaluate : for each record
3. Reset: documentseries
Place it in Document Series group Footer
for Grand Total
1. Field to summarize : documentTotal
2. Evaluate : for each record
3. Reset: never
Place it in Report Footer

Sort Group Based on Running Total

Is there a way to sort the group based on the running total of the group?
Thanks!
Deanna

I think it is not possible to sort the group based on a running total. You can sort based on a summary field using group sort expert. Since the running total executes whileprintingrecords we cannot sort based on running totals.

Hi Mitch1743,
According to your description, you want to get the total number on each row. Right?
In Reporting Service, we can use RunningValue function to do aggregation calculating for each row. Put expression: =RunningValue(Fields!Sales.Value,sum,”Group2”) into the last column (Group2 between “” is the parent group of detail rows).
We have tested it in our local environment , the table and result will be looks like below:
Reference:
RunningValue Function (Report Builder and SSRS)

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Running total as header formula

I am looking for a simpler, more general, or just plain better way to calculate a running total of a column of numbers, such that the running total cell is the sum of a number in the same row & a different column plus the cell just above it in the same column.
IOW, if the numbers column is H & the running total column is J, I could use =H5 + J4 in cell J5. In J6, I could use =H6 + J5, & so on. I can extend the formula downward without any problems, but I must make an exception for the first row of data: for instance, if row 2 is the first to have a number to include in the running total, then in J2 I must use =H2, since J1 is a header column.
This means I can't use a simple formula in a header column for the running total. (I want to do this because I will be adding rows as the table is used, & I want all the formulas to automatically be added to each new row.)
After trying a lot of functions, I finally came up with this one for the header formula:
=H + INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN(),4))
It works, but I suspect there is an easier, more elegant, or more general formula that (for instance) won't break if I rearrange the columns in the spreadsheet.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Yvan,
Thank you for your comments, & for the formulas. I was hoping there was a simpler way to do this than with INDIRECT & ADDRESS, but apparently not.
In this particular spreadsheet, I do not need to worry about any blank values in column H because they are the results of a calculation that yields a number even if the row is otherwise blank.
The ISERROR clause does allow me to name the running total column since without it the formula would be trying to add a string to a number in row two. However, in this particular spreadsheet I do not need to name that column because it is hidden. (The running total number column is used in another column that formats it as part of a string that contains other conditional information.) In the interests of simplicity, I will not add the ISERROR clause to my formula in this spreadsheet but I will keep it in mind for use in other spreadsheets in which the column will not be hidden & needs to be named.
Of course, as an alternative I could just create the column name as an independent text object. Wherever possible, I tend to favor workarounds like that to reduce formula complexity.
