I have a report that amounts to simply printing each record from a table. There is no subgrouping of the data. All that is needed is a grand total at the bottom. How does one setup the report writer to get and print the total?
TIA - Joe
Joe,
Under the Reports, menu, select Optional Bands. In the Report Properties window on the Optional Bands tab you'll want to check Report has summary band. Then click over to Variables, I create variables with the m. notation. So I add m.summary Value to store is the field you want to sum. Initial value is 0 Reset value based on is report Calculation type is Sum
Then you add a textbox to the Summary band (the names are at the bottom of the band) and put in m.summary. (or the variable name you used)
