Hellow gurus, Please assist,
I have the following data in a view in MS SQL:

TypeID TypeName Amount
1 Mr 10.00
1 Mr 12.50
1 Mr 5.30
2 Mrs 10.00
2 Mrs 12.20
2 Mrs 5.00
2 Mrs 2.60
3 Ms 15.20

What I want to have Crystal reports to display is "The sum of the Amounts for a particular Type together with the TypeID and the TypeName".
So from the above e.g. I want to have the data displayed as follows:

TypeID TypeName Amount
1 Mr 27.80
2 Mrs 29.80
3 Ms 15.20

I have all my codings to display the reports done and the reports are showing as anticipated. I just need assistance on the above.

Thanks in advance

Solution 1

One way to go about this is to simply write your SQL to extract the data in the format you want, then display that on your Crystal Report.

eg:

SQL

select TypeID, TypeName, Sum(Amount) as TotalAmount 
from VIEWNAME 
group by TypeID, TypeName 
order by TypeID, TypeName
