I have a Client's Table and a Billable Hours table.

On a Client layout, I have a field showing a summary for billable hours for that client.

How can I show a summary of a summary? In other words, in the footer, I want to see the total amount of billable hours for the found set.

Client Hours (Summary)

X 22

Y 20

Z 20

Total 62

How do I create the total row when the Hours are summary fields?

Thanks!

Hi Martha,

Perhaps you can take a look at this thread to see if it will help. By either using Agnes's method or a CF, you can collect the IDs of the found set in a calc and then use a self join to another Hours TO. Then you can reference the same summary field that you use for each clients's hours and it should work for your found set.

Do your report from a layout of Billable Hours, sub-summarized by client.

I dont think she wanted this is a report but I am just speculating... :

So am I...

If this is for a found set of Clients in Browse mode, then I would use a calculation field in Clients =

Sum ( Billable Hours::Hours )

and a summary field to total the calc.

BTW, there's no link in your first post.

Ah sorry added the link now. :
