Hey All,
 
I am not sure how to do this. I have tried many ways so far and no luck. One of my reports is a percentage list, That gives percentage of completion of all projects. I have my projects grouped by Project number and in the details section i have the Phases of a project and they list each percentage of the project. For example a project could have 1 - 10 phases that means that there could be 1 or 10 different percentages that need to be totalled. The only problem is that the feilds them selves are not numeric fields the are text fields. I am having trouble trying to come up with a running to total that will total these feilds converted from a string to a Double.  
 
Any ideas on conversion to so i can have my totals.
 
JohnS.
Thanks

Create a formula that simply converts the text to a number using CDouble(). Then create a Running Total field and that formula. It will add up the numeric equivalents for you.
