Hi All,

I am working on a list report which comprises of Earnings, Deductions and Taxes.  When I add the following filter, I get the following results:

Detail Filter: Earnings <> 0 OR Deductions <> 0 OR Taxes <> 0

Results:
Earnings  Deductions  Taxes
1234.00  0.00            0.00
0.00        1234.00      0.00
0.00       0.00            1234.00 

Is there a way to get these results on one row instead of 3?

Have you set the Aggregate property for this data items?

jmills

All 3 fields are set to Total Aggregate Function, and Automatic Rollup Aggregate Function

pricter

Try to set the Rollup Aggregate to Total also and auto summarize and grouping is set to yes

jmills

found out that my detail filter: Earnings <> 0 OR Deductions <> 0 OR Taxes <> 0

should be Earnings <> 0 AND Deductions <> 0 AND Taxes <> 0

did your filter work?  It looks like it should have returned no data because none of the rows mathc the filter criteria of all rows not being zero

I wasn't expecting it to work, thus it was causing me so much trouble.  after playing with it a few times, the solution above worked.
