Hello,

I am working on making a summary custom field. To make it easier to discuss, ill simplify it down to just the SUM of X.

The field......"SUM" i want to be the overall sum for the sample set. As it is now, it finds the sum with only the previous values in the sample set
For example (currently):

U01: x=0 Sum=0
U02: x=1 Sum=0
U03: x=1 Sum =1
U04: x=1 Sum = 2
U05: x=0 Sum = 3

The custom field could be U%...SUM(X) and I want it to be 3 for all of the unknowns, but it only calculates at the unknown it is at:

U01 =0 (sum = 3)
U02 = 1 (sum = 3)
U03 = 1 (sum = 3)
U04 = 1 (sum = 3)
U05 = 0 (sum = 3)

I want the sum to be 3 for all of these samples, is there a way to get this to occur in this manner?
Hi bdomanov,
Which version of Empower are you using?
If you are using Empower 2, you should be able to get this to work by adding a summarize custom fields line at the end of your sample set, however in Empower (1154) this worked incremently... After Empower 2 FR5 and onwards you can choose to do either.
Hope this helps...
