Grouping on calc field

edited October 2003 in End User
Hi,

Is it possible to group on a calc field? I have created a calc field but it
does not appear in the grouping area.

Regards

Alex

    Hi Al,

    Unfortunately, grouping by a calculated field in ReportBuilder is not
    supported. This is due to the fact that grouping by the value of a
    calcuated expression is not supported by SQL itself.

    Oh OK, is that a specific SQL standard? DBISAM appears to support it

    Hi Al,

    Yes, this is a SQL standard. Although some databases support extra
    features, to ensure the best compatablility over multiple database systems,
    ReportBuilder generally stays within the SQL standards.
