Hi, I've just recently started testing the waters a bit with Crystal Reports and have encountered what should be a pretty simple problem. Given a database with multiple tables, how would it be possible to have a formula field take into account the previous calculated value? I tried testing around with the rolling totals, but most of the functions weren't right for this purpose. A ficticious example would be as follows:
Imagine if you had $1,000,000 invested somewhere and you had monthly returns, how would you calculate the month-end account value? If let's say
Month Return Value
Jan 5% (1.05*1000000) = $1050000
Feb -2% (0.98*1050000) = $1029000
Mar 8% (1.08*1029000) = $1111320
etc.
Thanks in advance
