A running total field is created with the Running Total Expert. The Running Total Expert creates a running total field by asking you to select a field to summarize, the summary operation to use, a condition upon which to base the evaluation, and a condition upon which to reset the evaluation.
Note: A running total field can be used on database fields and first
The calculation of a Running Total field is determined by the settings selected in the Running Total Expert. However, where you place the running total affects the value that appears on the report. For example, if a Running Total field that evaluates every record and never resets (a grand total) in the Report Header, only the value of the first record will appear. Placing the same Running Total field in the Report Footer returns the desired value. The Running Total field is properly calculated in both cases, but it is displayed too soon in the first case.
The following is a list of the report sections and the records that the running total will use.
