     Posted: 27 Feb 2008 at 7:04am
Hi All...
 
I've got a report spec which i am trying to work towards and one of the requirements of the spec is that the number of particular records is calculated in the header section of the report with more informative view on each record in the details section.
Since the records are loaded after the header how is it going to be possible to calculate certain types of record in the header section.
 
For example, the report details a list of current issues in various states.
The first page of the report is to be a title sheet and contain a count of the number of records in New State, Open State & Closed State.
 
I can have running totals to caluclate these but these would get calculated in the footer. If i move them to the header then the values are zero. So my question is how do i do a count of particular records within the header section of a report.
 
THanks

Hi,
 
Create a Subreport using the same tables as the main report with just the running totals in that Subreport  ,then place that subreport in the report header of the main report.Also you may need to use Shared Variables.......
 
Some sample data will be helpful......
 
Cheers
Rahul

Couldn't you also use a calculated SUM field? The idea of a running total field is to give you a total at that point where the RT field is put in. So in a detail section it would count up, but when it is in the header there is nothing there yet.
 
But a SUM (or count etc.) field should calculate after the report is done giving a total in the header.
