Conditional Sum

rbuser

I've seen this thread before and can't find it again but;

I have a variable in the summary band that I want do so a sum
conditionally based on one field, i.e.

if pipeline['Field']='XXX' then

Value:=

How would I go about this?

Look in "tech-tips" - "Calculations" - "Tech Tip: Calculating a Summary
based on Group Totals"

Might be the one you saw before...

The variable is in the summary band of the report. While there are two
groups in the report, I need to do the calculation for the entire
report, it's already been done for the groups (Note: This is RB 5
Enterprise built into a third party application, and I cannot change the
pipeline/paramters/create or edit global variables).

if (plCustomer['Amountpaid'] > 100.00) then
begin
{sum detail}
Value := Value + plCustomer['Amountpaid'];

{accumulate summary}
vCustomerSummary.Value := vCustomerSummary.Value +
plCustomer['Amountpaid'];
end;

end;

When I try to run the report with this, the application RB is built into
throws and exception (Cannot run because of variable) which I'm assuming
is because I have the var in the summary? Everything compiles correctly.

Hello,

Article: End-User Tech Support

Please understand that Digital Metaphors can only provide tech support to
the Delphi developers that purchase ReportBuilder. Digital Metaphors
receives no distribution royalties from Delphi developers that embed
end-user reporting solutions in their applications. It is the responsibility
of the software publishers that sold you the product to provide you with
tech support.

There is an end-user tutorial called Learning ReportBuilder that can be
downloaded from our web site for free. See the following article for more
infomation.

Article: Learning ReportBuilder
--------------------------------

Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
upon installation.

I guess I'm glad I solved it myself then.
