What formula are you using? What type of control?

Iâm trying to get the percentage for the gross margent using the âretail - cost / retail.Formula looks like this GM:([p_ctrl_retail]-[P_Ctrl_cost])/[p_ctrl_retail] which works great in the Detail area, but having problems using this formula in the footers of the report. Any Idea's?

It seems to me that you would have to carry the totals down to the footers, like this:
TextBox1: =Sum([p_ctrl_retail])
TextBox2: =Sum([p_ctrl_cost])
If you didn't want the user to see these, then make them invisible.
Then do this:
TextBox3: =Sum([TextBox1]-[TextBox2])/[TextBox1])
HTH (hope it works, too.

That very similar to the way I have it. Question! Because I'm not looking to get a sum but a percentage for textbox3, would I need to add something different?

Open the text box's properties dialog box, select the General tab, and then change the format to percentage. See if that helps.

I'm sorry, but its hard to keep up with these forums.However, I actually have reports where I had to calculate the % of sum totals and the way I did it is basically I had to create a label and put formula that calculates sum. :(Sum([p_ctrl_retail])-Sum([P_Ctrl_cost]))/Sum([p_ctrl_retail]).
see if this works or let me know with more details on the issue.
