I have a cross tab which is pulling sums of hours for each user.And the display Column grand total in percentage. The cross tab displays as

              |  User1  |  User2  | Etc . . .
TotalTime        41.68     44.55
TotalHours       52.17     84.93
% Total          79.89%    52.45%

I use formula field and drag that formula field to SUMMARIZED FIELD. my formula is

VB

({TotalTime}/{TotalHrs}) * 100

but still it shows me this error `Division by zero`

Thank in Advance.!

Solution 1

Change formula to :

VB

If {TotalHrs}=0 Then 
   0
Else
  ({TotalTime}/{TotalHrs}) * 100

Thank you for the reply. It does not show me the error but all the % TOTAL ROW is all ZERO ..

It's zero, because column TotalHrs has zero value. What is correct data column name TotalHrs or TotalHours ?

Uknownymous 13-Aug-13 3:08am

yes totalhours is negative value. is crystal report crosstab is disregarding negative values?? try the values diplay above in calculator with that given formula and its correct but when i integrate it crystal report it didn't work.. its all display as zero. i want to get that value 79.89& and 52.45%

Please check column names. There is "TotalHours" in your example and "TotalHrs" in formula. May be you have another column (TotalHrs) with zero value.

Yes I already did. "TotalHours" and "TotalHrs" are the same.
