Re: Summing based on column value

Is it possible that {ICDET1.ITQOHA}  is null instead of having an empty string? Do you ever initialize aaa to some value?  Where are you putting the formula?

I might do a couple of things here:

1.  If {ICDET1.ITQOHA} can be null, turn on "Default values for nulls" under null handling in the Formula Editor.

2.  You might change your approach.  Try creating a formula like this:

if {ICDET1.ITQOHA} = '' then

  -1.0 * {ICDET1.ITQOHA}

else

{ICDET1.ITQOHA}

3.  You can now use this formula in a summary or a running total instead of having to add it all up using a variable.
