+ | ** How do I get a total to show in document style report? ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create a field to hold this value. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use an action to calculate the value and save it to that field. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example, let's say you want a total of all the contracts sold this month. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the table where your contracts are create a field called "Monthly Total". | ||
+ | When your contract gets marked as sold, have an action that will run a query for all sold contracts marked sold during and including this month. In the expression builder, use the SUM function to get a total of the sold price for all the related contracts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In your report, you can reference this field. You can't do this calculation directly in the report because the report would repeat for each record found during the query. | ||
