Add calculation fields to a document footer

You can use the document footer for calculation fields that refer to the report in its entirety, for example a grand total. You can also place these calculation fields in another location, but the document footer is the obvious choice. That is because the document footer is printed at the end of the report.

If you view the report and see that the document footer is truncated at the bottom of the page (and continues on the next page), select the Keep on one page section setting. You can also specify that the document footer text should be displayed at the bottom of the last page.

To add calculation fields to a document footer:

Place the fields in the document footer. If the fields are already in the report, you can duplicate them and drag them to the document footer. This works in the same way as calculation fields in other sections.

1. Open the properties of a field.
2. Go to the tab: Calculation field.
3. Select the arithmetic operation.
