There is a problem with a manual cross tab. One of the summary measures is an average. Within the xtab expert the averages are accurate. However, in the manual xtab they are not. They are not because I am summing on an indicator formula: If {table1.size} = size1 then 1 else 0. For the sales I...

I found the answer elsewhere in the forum. I needed to "suppress blank sub-reports" in the "format sub-report" attribute of the two sub-reports. Thanks to all. Howard Hammerman, Crystal Training and Crystal Material On-site classes and one-on-one coaching Low-cost telephone/email support...
