Hi,

In a field, I want to take some of that field and use formula field sum function.
But for that field I get the error "A number field or Currency Amount Field is required here".

Please help for providing the Solution.

Try splitting it into two formula fields:
Make one formula called "Price" with the following code:
CCur ({Table.Field})
Then create a new formula to create your sum, thusly:
Sum({@Price})

The Crystal function SUM gets confused when you try to pass functions to it, so just try passing it the final, numerical value you want to summarize.

You can also use the INSERT|SUMMARY command from the top level menu.

Solution 1

Before sum convert the field as numeric like below

ToNumber({Table.Field))

so your total formula should be like

SUM(ToNumber({Table.Field)))
