Crystal Report - This field can't be summarized

Question

I have a formula ABC

sum({Table1.col1},{Table2.FieldName})

My report is grouped by Table2.FieldName . Then then want to add the value of ABC to another column's value.

My formula:

sum({@ABC},{Table2.Col1})

Here, I am getting this error that @ABC cant be summarized.

Is their any workaround to add these fields.

Answer 1

Crystal can't total other totals.

If you explain the situation in more details, there may be another way to accumulate the desired total.

Alternatively, Ken Hamady maintains a list of 3rd-party Crystal Reports UFLs (User Function Libraries) here . At least one of them allows you to do totals of totals by providing functions that allow Crystal formulas to accumulate and retrieve total values in memory.
