problems with summing up an amount

[mily]

Hi,

I have the following problem: I have a report that uses a budget amount whose default aggregate is total.  The budget amount applies to a project.  But whenever I add the project contracts to the report, the amount gets added once for every contract, giving a much higher total than should be.  I can circumvent this problem by specifying total(maximum(budget amount for project)).  Problem is that I now need to add a year to the report.  Most projects span two years and have different amounts for each year.  If I use the above calculation, I only get a total that considers the year with the maximum amount for each project.

How would I go about getting the total of the maximum of each year of a project.  I cannot do "for year" since the years are the same for each projects.

Basically, I want the budget amount to not get added for each of the contracts attached to that project.

I am not sure I understand your question - do you need to total the maximum amount of each project per year?
If so user 'for concatenated value of year and project no/id'
