Problem : Crystal Report How to Sum a Distinct Count Field in the Report Footer
I have a basic report that is counting the number of people by department. I need to sum the count field. I currently have distinctcount on the last name which works for counting by department. When totaling for the group and report, I can’t use distinct count because one person may work in multiple departments as a floater. Is there a way to use Sum to total a distinctcount field?
Solution : Crystal Report How to Sum a Distinct Count Field in the Report Footer
You can’t use a summary on a summary field.
You can use formulas
In the report header add a formula
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global NumberVar TotalCount := 0;
In the group footer (or where you display the department count)
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global NumberVar TotalCount;
TotalCount := TotalCount + SELECT THE SUMMARY FROM THE FIELD LIST
”
In the report footer
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global NumberVar TotalCount;
TotalCount
