Calculations with DBText Fields

rbuser

Hello,

We use Report Builder embedded to our ERP. I want to do calculations DBText
fields. I cant understand how StrToInt() function works. Even i cant do SUM
of DBText fields. Sorry about my english. How can i do calculations with
DBText fields?

Hi Ömer,

Are you a registered user of ReportBuilder or are you only using a version
built-in to another product?

Try using the DBCalc component instead of the DBText for simple
calculations.

No i am not a registered user, it is embedded our erp program. I tried to
use DBCalc but it does not calculate. Column that i want to calculate,
specified "varchar" at SQL table. Is this why i can not use DBCalc?

Article: Learning ReportBuilder

Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
upon installation.
