Add totals to carry forward to a report

Per page, the total carried forward shows the current total for a group or the entire report.

To add totals to carry forward:

  1. Open the report.
  2. Go to: Report / Properties.
  3. Select the Carry forward page totals check box.

  4. Specify how the total to be carried forward should be calculated: based on the report or based on a specific group.
  5. For a report per group, you select the group.
  6. Click on: OK.

    Profit automatically adds a sub-section, depending on the calculation selected for the total carried forward. The sub-section is included in the page header (in case of a calculation of the total carried forward for the entire report) or in the group header (in case of a calculation of the total carried forward for a group). You can also insert a total carried forward in the page footer.

    The below designations show where you can insert sub-totals.

  7. Duplicate the field that you want to use for the sub-totals.
  8. Place this field in the sections for sub-totals.
  9. If applicable, add a description, for example Transport.

  10. Press: F7. or go to Document / Print preview. The first total carried forward appears on the second page.

    If you do not want a section to be printed on every page, you can specify that in the section properties.
