     Posted: 13 Mar 2012 at 4:59am
I have a report with groupings.  I have three formulas in one of the groupings.  2 of the formulas are sum's  sum of @TotalHours
and sum of @BlindHours.

These 2 work fine as far as grouping goes, they sum the group, not the total.

I have a third formula sum({@BlindHours})/sum({@TotalHours})
This formula return the same result for every grouping and the total?

Why do the other formulas work by grouping, but not the third?

thanks for any help.

sum(field) sums all rows
sum(field,groupfield) will give you subtotal at each group instance. It must be placed inside the group sections (gh or gf) to show the value per group.
 
If you create a summary using the insert summary function and then drag and drop it from a Report footer to the group footer or header it will automatically add the group  condition to it. That is not the case with a formula field that you create manually.

there is not grouping information in the 3rd formula, so it is running for entire report...does that fit with the values that you are seeing?
 
I would try adding the group to the formula, like:
