Question

I have a grouped column that is a string . The column keeps repeating. I only want it to be displayed once per group and sum the remaining columns based on .

Database table structure:

-personame-id-salary-

I want to group by personname (display once) and sum salary.

The output in cystal right now

jon  10,000
jon  10,000
bob  50,000
bob  50,000
greg 10,000
greg 10,000

It should be:

jon 10,000
bob  50,000
greg 10,000

i am only grouping by personame.

Here is my group selection code: (None fix the above problem:)

groupName #1({table.personname}) = NthLargest(1,{table.personname});

OR

{table.personname} = NthLargest(1,{table.personname},{table.id});

OR

{table.personname} = Minimum({table.personname});

Answer 1

It looks as though you are currently displaying id and salary in the detail section (or possibly the group header and group footer).

You need to suppress the detail section, and display the id and the sum of the salary in the group footer.

If you need to add the id and/or the sum of the salary to the group footer, simply drag and drop them from where they are currently displayed in the report.

To suppress the detail section, right-click in the grey area to the left of the page layout in the design tab for the Details section and select Suppress (No Drill-Down). (You should also do the same for the group header section.)
