• Manual running total returns incorrect value when added to a Group Footer section in Crystal Reports.

• SAP Crystal Reports 2013
• SAP Crystal Reports 2016
• SAP Crystal Reports 2020

1. In Crystal Reports, create a report off any data source.
2. Insert a group.
3. Create formulas to calculate the group total using variables.
      
   Notice the variable displays the wrong values in the Group Footer.

• This behavior occurs because the evaluation time function WhilePrintingRecords is omitted, or the variable value was not reset.

• A manual running total consist of 3 formulas, a reset, accumulate and display formulas, and the formulas will looks like:
      
• Reset formula: ( Added to the Report Header, or Group Header section )
  
  WhilePrintingRecords;
  NumberVar myVariable := 0;   // Set, or reset the value to zero.
     
    
• Accumulate or Evaluate formula: ( Generally added to the Details section, but could be other sections depending on the requirement )
  
  WhilePrintingRecords;
  NumberVar myVariable := myVariable + 1
     
• Display formula: ( Added to the Group Footer, or Report Footer section )
  
  WhilePrintingRecords;
  NumberVar myVariable
       
         
• To return the correct summary values when using a manual running total:
    
1. Ensure the formulas starts with the evaluation time function: WhilePrintingRecords
     
2. Ensure each formulas are inserted in the right sections. 
     
   For example:
         
   If you have a group total, insert the reset formula in the Group Header section, the Evaluate in the Details section, and the Display formula in the Group Footer section.
