Summing a column in a group

I am using Crystal XI
This report is grouped by ItemNo and I want to show a total of the Length column per ItemNo
Length needs to be a string field, SUM won't let me use a string type field and it won't let me convert
it using CDbl, Val or ToNumber. Without going into detail, the length column must be a string - I have no control over this.
So I thought I would just do something like this:
Create a formula with this in it:
WhileReadingRecords;
NumberVar Item:= Item + Val({_WorksheetDetails.Length});
Then just place this formula field in the group area of the report.
Then somehow reset the Item after it is done with that group and before it starts the next group.
This is not working, any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
Jeff

I put a resetformula in the group footer and I have this formula suppressed.
Here is that formula: NumberVar Item:= 0;
I have the details section suppressed and just have all the fields in the group section
As far as the formula that adds the lengths, here it is:
WhileReadingRecords;
NumberVar Item:= Item + Val({_WorksheetDetails.Length});
I am not suppressing anything else, the rows in the table are grouped by ItemNo ...so for all the rows in the table that have the same ItemNo, I want to see the total Length
I just added the formulas in the main Formulas list in the tree on the left... did I need to add a formula in a section expert? ...if so, where at?
Am I leaving something out?
Thanks,
Jeff

How to Merge and Sum across columns??

Hey guys I have an interesting Problem (at least interesting to me:p). I am trying to figure out how to use numbers to collate or group certain column data and then sum the values of the grouped data. below is a snippet from my an error log i've parsed. The final step I need to do is to create a 3 column output where the values are - Error (merged), # Errors (SUM), Error Detail(merged).
I hope this makes sense and any help is greatly appreciated.

Well there is a lot of interesting stuff going one here. The Hidden Col formula works great when the Err Code Col is sorted. When Err Code is random, the Hidden Col repeats counts some Err Codes twice thus giving an incorrect total...
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
whereas the sorted Err Code returns the values I think your formula intended
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
Also for some reason I can't get the Table 2 - Col A formula to recognize Table 1 - Err Code as a reference???
=IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Table 1 :: Hidden),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Table 1 :: Hidden,Table 1::'Error Code'))
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
how the heck do you post a screenshot???

Want to sort the columns while using GROUP BY ROLLUP.

Want to order the below query using by "News' column in descending order and "Email address" column in Ascending order.
Note: Sorting should not bring Total value to top. It is happening now.
{code}
SELECT decode(grouping(NVL(Client, 'NA')),1, 'Totals', NVL(Client, 'NA')) "Email (Login ID)",
Location "Location",
SUM(News) "News",
SUM(Website) "Website",
FROM VW_FX_USERDATA
GROUP BY ROLLUP (((NVL(Client, 'NA')),Location,1, 'Totals', NVL(Client, 'NA')))
{code}
PLease let me know if you need any details.

How to get the last vaue of an amount column in the group above

Hi All,
I have a requirement
In my report there are 3 gruops in data model.
1.accout flex field
2.balance
3. journal entries
3. JE contans debit,credit and the running total.
My requirement is to print the final total in the frame above the repeating frame.
Please help me in this case as to how can i achieve this requirement?
Thanks
Jana.

If you have any column in JE group, you can not print that directly in 'balance' group or between repeating frames of the JE and balance. It has to be in JE or any group below JE.
You can try what i suggested earlier. It would give you the last total of the journal. And you can place the field near to the repeating frame of JE.
Hope this helps.

How to Suppress Report Total When Using Sum on Columns & Break Formatting

I need to know how to NOT show the report total line when using the sum functionality with a break in a report.
I am summing two columns, a debit amount and credit amount. I am breaking on the first column which is the level of a hierarchical query. I want to see something like this:
Parent Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Parent Sum $$ $$
Child Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Child Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Child Sum $$ $$
However, when I run the report, I also get a report total line under the child sum which is really meaningless for this report.
I have also tried creating this report as an interactive report. When applying the sum on the two columns, I do get the sum totals on the break only - no report total - however, it is reversing the order of the hierarchical query results putting the child records first and the parent records second.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, and welcome!
I don't think that there's an easy way to "switch off" the Total line on a report. The nearest I could suggest would be to either hide the entire row or colour the text so that it's the same as the background - either way, the total is calculated but the user won't see it.
If you put something like the following into your report region's Region Footer:
<script type="text/javascript">
var outertable = document.getElementById("#REGION_ID#");
var innertable = outertable.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[1];
var rs = innertable.rows;
var lastrow = rs[rs.length-1];
if (lastrow.cells[0].innerHTML == '<b>TOTAL</b>')
rs[rs.length - 1].style.display = "none";
</script>Then, on your report's Report Attributes page, scroll down to the Break Formatting section and put TOTAL into the "Display this text when printing report sums" setting. Also, in the "Layout and Pagination" section, set "Enable Partial Page Refresh" to No.
The above code is based on the report and region templates that I'm using here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:147] (Theme 18, "Report Region" region template and "Standard" report template). Your report may use different templates, so the first two lines on the code may have to change. #REGION_ID# would be replaced with the region's ID value (which would be "R" followed by a long number). As long as you can identify the HTML tag that uses this ID value, you can then get to the actual table that contains the data as it would be a TABLE within that tag - the [1] above is the second table within the region. In some instances, you may have to use "region_#REGION_ID#" as the starting point.

More than 1 column in the group by clause

DB Version:10gR2
I understand the basics of GROUP BY clause. I have a question on why we have on more than 1 columns in GROUP BY clause.
In the below example, the course name by itself does not make up a group. A Course name plus its BeginDate make up a group. This is the whole point of having more than 1 columns in the GROUP by clause. Right?

Thanks Dmorgan. I am just learning the basics of GROUP BY clause. I have noticed that all Non-aggregate columns in SELECT list have to be present in the GROUP BY clause. I thought it was a "syntactical requirement". Now, i realise that these columns are present in the GROUP BY clause because only a combination of columns make up a group.Well, it is a bit of both actually. It is a syntactic requirement that all non-aggregated columns in the select list must appear in the group by clause. However, the non-aggregated columns in the select list is what defines your group. Your two examples define two different groups, and would answer two different questions.

Can I know the name, type, total number of column in Record Group?

I created a record group with query dynamically.
And then populated it.
I don't know the column' count, type, name befause I get the query from user at runtime.
Can I know the name, type, total number of column in Record Group?

Unfortunately, there is no way to query the record group (RG) to get the metadata you are looking for. RGs are best used as data sources to an LOV or List Item rather than as an Array to hold the resultset of a dynamic query. For this, I would recommend you use a Collection type of construct (PL/SQL Table of Records, VArray, etc).

How to sum a column in SQL server??

How do I sum a column called 'expenditureamount' in a sql table 'expenditureform', such that I get the total expenditure amount displayed in a text box??

You can sum it with the SQL SUM function, of course, but what that has to do with how your program display that sum, I don't know. IOW, how you display is not anything related to JDBC, and how you SUM it is not anything related to JDBC. The first one is SQL (check on an SQL forum or Google for it) and the second depends on how you want to display it, and there are more appropriate forums than the JDBC one, for that.

How to sum subgrid column in CRM 2013

Hi,
I want to sum Subgrid column named "Quantity" and show in alert.

Hi,
You can also try this code to calculate subgrid amount total for crm 2013.
Add your subgrid name in place of "testing" and amount field name in place of 'new_amount'.
function RetrieveSubGridRecords() {
    if (document.getElementById("testing")) {
        var grid = document.getElementById("testing").control;
        var ids = grid.get_allRecordIds();
        var sum = 0.00;
        var cellValue;
       for(i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
           var cellValue = grid.getCellValue('new_amount',ids[i]);
           var number = Number(cellValue.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,""));
           sum = sum + number;
       alert('s'+sum);
    else {
       setTimeout("RetrieveSubGridRecords();", 2500);
Hope this help..

Hi,
For summing say column EBELN, MATNR for eg.
fieldcatalog-fieldname   = 'EBELN'.
fieldcatalog-seltext_m   = 'Purchase Order'.
   fieldcatalog-outputlen   = 10.
<b>fieldcatalog-do_sum      = 'X'.</b>
append fieldcatalog to fieldcatalog.
clear fieldcatalog.
fieldcatalog-fieldname   = 'MATNR'.
fieldcatalog-seltext_m   = 'Material Number'.
<b>fieldcatalog-do_sum      = 'X'.</b>
append fieldcatalog to fieldcatalog.
clear fieldcatalog.
You will get the sum at the end also, try this.

Can you sum a column in FormsCentral?

Similar to how you would sum a column of numbers in a Excel spreadsheet, Can you sum a column in FormsCentral or are you required to only do this once it has been saved to an Excel sheet?

One of my biggest grievances with Forms Central is the lack of any kind of calculating (living in hope Adobe!)... you will have to do it in Excel.
