Many of the fields used in the construction of a report can be referred to in your formulas. For example, database, parameter, running total, SQL expression, summary, and group name fields can all be used in a formula. You can also refer to other formula fields in your formula.
The easiest way to insert a field into your report is to double
Database, parameter, formula, running total and SQL expression fields have their names surrounded by braces. Database field names are taken from the database. For example:
{Employee.Last Name}
Parameter, formula, running total, and SQL expression field names are specified when the fields are created.
{?my parameter field}
{@another formula }
{#my running total}
{%my SQL expression}
Summary and group name fields look like function calls. However, they are really shorthand notation for a report field.
Sum({Orders.Order Amount}
, {Orders.Ship Via})
GroupName({Orders.Ship Via})
