Problem calculating variables for totals.

rbuser

I have a report, written a while ago, that used the old techniques, I
think before the current properties were added. I'm trying to modify it
to use the CalcType, ResetType, etc. I can't quite get it to work.

What I have is similar to this; Imagine data with Departments and
Employeees. I created 2 variables - one to calculate the total of some
column for each employee and one to calculate the total of the same
column for all employees in one department. These total variables are
supposed to print in the total sections with other data.

I tried the various choices and can't get anything but zero. How should
I be setting these variables?

Hi Patrick,

First I suggest taking a look at the following article on using
calculations in ReportBuilder.

http://www.digital-metaphors.com/rbWiki/Delphi_Code/Calculations/Overview

To calculate a Total with a Variable, make sure it's data type is set to
a numeric type and Calc type is Traversal. Then in the OnCalc event
increase the value.

Value := Value + ppReport.DataPipeline['MyField'];
