Summary Page - Best Method 
March 26th, 2007, 11:05 PM
| | | |
I have a report that is grouped based on Month / Year. Then for each
Month / Year, I have a summary for each agency of their sales. For
each group, in the group footer, I total all the agencies together to
get that month/year's over total.
This is great, but now I want the groups total information in a
seperate page (perhaps in the reports footer) so the user can quickly
go to the end of the report if they are only looking for summarized
information. Note: I don't want to total the groups summarized data,
I just want to display it again at the end of the report.
I did this by a subreport. Is that the best method?
Thanks

Ideally, you would re-use the parent report, just have it suppress the
Details section. NEVER discrepancies between the two.

Interesting point. Never thought of using the parent as the
subreport. Honestly, I made a copy, which creates more objects than I
need.
Thanks for the tip!
