Averaging problem

[rocktap]

I'm using FM Pro 6 for my accounts. For budgeting I've set up Summary fields that are supposed to give me an average 'spend' in each category (eg: car, stationery etc). However these summary fields only appear to be accurate when I do a find on a single category -then the summary field for that category is accurate (and of course all the other summary fields return a zero value). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Summary fields work on the found set of records. To get an accurate result you need to perform a find for the right set of records.

Also, if you want to define a calculation field which divides a summary field by another field, you must use the GetSummary(Summary Field, Break Field) function to "extract" the total to be used in an average from the summary field.
