     Posted: 02 Mar 2009 at 11:37am
I have a report where I have to group data by customer.  Within that group I have to identify top 25 ( no problem there).  Within top 25 I have to identify top 2 and low 2 based on the calculated field.  I can not sort by it (it is not a group field) :  Example:
Customer          Sales         Rate increase
ABC                  $5,678          10%
XYZ                   $4,687          15%
DFG                   $4,677          12%
 
Top 2 are 15% and 12%.  I have to color them in green. How can I do it in the report.

you can still sort on it.
Click on sort Expert and add the formula field to the sort fields just under the group sort the choose ascending or descending.

Here is my formula:
 if Sum ({@Calc8WeeksUnits}, {ad_mstr.ad_name}) = 0
  then
     0
 else
  (((Sum ({@Calc4WeeksUnits}, {ad_mstr.ad_name})
   - Sum ({@Calc8WeeksUnits}, {ad_mstr.ad_name}))
    /Sum ({@Calc8WeeksUnits}, {ad_mstr.ad_name})) * 100)

Gotcha.
You cannot sort on the SUM formulas based on the order in which the data is read.
Nothing else is coming to mind for this right now.
Anyone else have ideas?
