I'm grouping sales numbers, and I want to do something like determine whether a number is 0-50K, 50k-99k, or 100k+. I know I could do a custom group to handle that on the detail level.

The challenge is that I want to custom group other groups. On the detail level, I have each individual sale. Those detailed records are grouped by customer, and that group has a sum of all the sales. What I want to do is group each customer into one of my 3 categories. So I'd be using the group sum number as my qualifier for which group they go in, which Crystal doesn't want to let me do.

Any good way to accomplish this?

Maybe, formulas are done before grouping.  The sum would have to be in a formula (never tried this, hopefully it will work).
