Description bullbroker 2018-11-27 13:45:51 UTC
Description:
I have a simple database report that has 2 columns to accumulate for Grand Totals. The items appear to be grouped correctly and I can get totals to appear. One column is correct "credits" and the other column seems to pull a number out of thin air "debits". The source for the report is a query that has already subtotaled the data incoming. Of interest, I deleted the formatted field that was giving me problems thinking it might be glitch or something. When I do this the errant total increases by about 2k. If I didn't know better I would swear there is a variable stored with the report that is not resetting. I am puzzled please help.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.just run the report I have set up
2.
3.

Actual Results:
I get an incorrect total from the accumulation function

Expected Results:
it should have given the correct total.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I tried restarting in safe mode. This action did not help the function to work correctly.

@bullbroker: without the report (and the underlying ODB including query on which this is built) then it will be nearly impossible for us to reproduce this behaviour as we don't know exactly what you have done, or how you have done it.

Please either provide a sample ODB file with instructions for use as Xisco has requested, or else provide detailed steps on how to reproduce the ODB file containing the associated query and report with instructions on how to use.
