Counting by groups

rbuser

Hello

I would like to define a variable in order to count the number of groups
that appears in the report.

I mean, if I have 10 diferents groups I would like to have a variable with a
value of 10.
I did with a calculation like this : value := value + 1;
But in this variable I get the number of the lines and not 1 for each group.
I have change the timming but I am not able to get the correct value.

Can anyone help me?.

Hi Jesus,

In my testing, placing a TppVariable in the summary band of my report with
the timing set to calculate on Group Start of the group I was trying to
count gave the correct result. Where are you trying to place this value?

Hi

I left the variable in the group footer. And now I placed the variable in
the summary band but I do not get the correct result. I get always 0.

Can you send me an example of how to do it?
