    Cool Calculation in a report

    I have a column with a sum total in the footer. I would like to subtract this calculated number from a constant (ie 20,000.00). Is this possible?

    Sure; try either:

    =20000 - [TextboxName]

    =20000 - Sum(FieldName)

    Is there a way to code a field so that it remains a constant number (currency amount)?

    in your query yes

    Just have something like

    Constantvalue: 40000

    then every line of your query will have a value of 40,000 in a field called ConstantValue

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
