[SOLVED] SUBTOTAL
I have a report that always needs to be sorted by Currency, Location, and Invoice Number with then two additional sort options that can be selected by the user of shop # and/or customer # with the option of subtotaling (using SUBTOTAL) or not (except for invoice number which will never be subtotaled on) on any of those sort options. Location and invoice number must always be sorted together since invoices are being returned multiple times for this report (due to the data requested in this report) with the value of the invoice amount only displaying once. I’ve got computes taking care of setting all following invoice amounts for an invoice number that repeat to zero, but in order for that to work, the location and invoice number must be grouped together. My issue is that, if for instance, the user selects an additional sort option, say customer #, after invoice number and subtotals on it, it not only shows this subtotal when the customer number changes but also when any of the higher level groups changes such as invoice number and location. From what I understand, this is how it works, but is there any option to make it only show the totals when the customer number changes and not higher level sorts since that’s all I want to subtotal on?

I woudl suggest you research the difference between SUBTOTAL AND SUB-TOTAL.

In that same part of the documentation it will discuss specifying which columns to total.

I have the correct columns totaling. It is when it shows the subtotal row that is an issue. I do not want it to break showing the total because of a higher level grouping.

I was able to move some of my sorts around and take care of the issue.
