Syntax for report variable
Howdy,
Reposting this topic within the correct forum (FR 4.0 - sorry about that ...)
I'm using FR 4.14.3 and I'm having problems with the syntax for displaying a report variable
(user created variable - not a system variable) within a memo.
I've attached screen shots for this report showing:
1. Setting the value of the variable within the OnBeforePrint event of a group header
2. Attempting to display the variable within a memo contained within a group footer
3. Runtime error coming from the attempted display of the group footer
At this point, I really think my problem is simply getting the "correct" syntax for the value of
the memo within the group footer - but I've tried several options (without success).
Any and all help is appreciated,
Marc B.

Yes, I have. No success - but, Lol, I do receive a different error:
I've attached screen shots for this report showing:
1. Attempting to display the variable within a memo contained within a group footer
2. Runtime error (NEW) coming from the attempted display of the group footer
To be clear: my goal is to simply have the following displayed within a group
footer: 1. String value of field using for grouping & 2. running total of rows within group.
My problem is "appears" to be getting 1. to display (within the group footer - NOT the header).
Thanks for any & all help,
Total for Ship Type: [GroupShipType] = [Count(RepDetail)]
Ah, excellent! Both a correct & simple solution - thanks for your time!
To answer your earlier question (GroupHeader logic) and to show the
solution, here are a couple of final screen shots (for the GroupHeader &
GroupFooter logic).
Thanks,

here is a little trick if you create a lot of reports with similar categorized variables
save the dictionary and load it when you design a new report and they will be available to use in the expression builder.
