     Posted: 01 Oct 2014 at 3:12am
I have a formula field "NEEDED" in the body of my report.

{#products code abo sums}- Maximum ({@adequate}, {@ABORH})

The formula field works perfectly for every group that it is in. I want to output the data from my groups to a Cross Tab report and I am having a difficult time.

When I look for available field in my cross tab the "NEEDED" field is not available.

I have also tried to summarize the field and it is not available to summarize.

I also tried an embedded summary using the following formula and It shows the value of my last group across every group displayed in the cross tab.
{#products code abo sums}-Maximum ({@adequate})

I'm kind of lost.... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

you cannot summarise a summary field.

depending on what is in your running total and formula fields, you need to try and calculate it on each individual line then summarise that.
