Title: Dash (-) symbol appears in List cell
Post by: sanchoniathon on 18 Nov 2009 07:53:36 AM
Hi everyone,

- I am using a list connected to one query.
- There are 3 columns: Column1, Column 2 and Column3
- In the footer i have a TOTAL for Column1 and a Total for Column2.
- In the footer of the Column3 (i did a define content to have my own expression)
   i play with the total of Column1 and Column 2 and i should get a result

The problem is that i am not seeing the expected result and instead i am seeing a '-' character.

QUESTION: What does the dash '-' character means ?


Thanks !

Hi
you have to take Calculated Measure and give in the edit box as Col1+Col2 and unlock the report and place the Calculated measure in the footer of the report. It will give the perfect value i have tested for it.
it is working fine man..
