Running totals problem with using shared variables

[Former Member]

Hi there

I need to try and use the results of a shared variable within a running total in order to analyse my data, but I'm getting a message :-

"A running total cannot refer to a print time formula"

Anyone know how to get around this?

Many thanks

Louise

Hi Louise,

On what section are you trying to do display the totals from the shared variable?

If you're trying to display Grand Totals on the Report Footer, you would create a formula that looks like this:

Whileprintingrecords;

numbervar g_total;

shared numbervar variable_name;

g_total := g_total + variable_name;

Place this formula on the same section as the shared variable formula.

Create another formula and place this on the Report Footer:

Whileprintingrecords;

numbervar g_total;
