Report Calculation How-Tos
You can insert two types of report calculations in Report Design files:
• Formula — Performs mathematical operations using data fields and entered numeric values. Formulas are inserted in a Report Design file using the Formulas window. For more information, see Formula How-Tos.
• Running Total — Sums the values for a numeric field for each record that is printed in the Details section of the Report Design file. Running totals are inserted in a Report Design file using the Running Totals window. For more information, see Running Total How-Tos.
 |
Both types of report calculations result in floating point numbers that can be formatted just as any other numeric field in the Report Design file. However, these two types of report calculations cannot be mixed. In other words, you cannot calculate a running total of a formula result, or you cannot include a running total in a formula calculation.
