subsummary calculation problem

Hi all. And happy new year.

I can't figure out how to properly get a calculated percentage in a subsummary part. Let's say I have records consisting of People, with data consisting of QuantA and QuantB and a QuantTotal for each record.

I can run a subsummary showing the assigned subtotals for each record easily by placing a summary field defined to look at each QuantA, QuantB, and QuantTotal.

Easy!

What I can't do is show in the same subsummary, a proper ratio (expressed as a percentage) of QuantA to QuantB for the records summarized under that Person.

What I'd like to see in the subsummary would be:

PersonA QuantA QuantB ABRatio QuantTotal

PersonB QuantA QuantB ABRatio QuantTotal

PersonC QuantA QuantB ABRatio QuantTotal

TOTAL QuantA QuantB ABRatio QuantTotal

For example: The ABRatio (a summary field dividing the summary fields for QuantA by QuantB) is correct in the Grand Summary, but repeats the Grand Summary result in the subsummary above.

So I'm stumped. Any pointers appreciated!

Use a calculation field that includes the GetSummary( summaryfield, breakfield ) function.
