Weird (Wrong) Formula Results

edited Jan 3, 2020 12:36AM in Search / Reporting 2 comments

The situation:

We've got several Items that we need to pay Royalties on.  We created a custom Item field to store the Royalty amount.  We've created a Qty Sold report that includes the following fields.
[LIST]
[*]Item Name
[*]Royalty Fee (the custom item field)
[*]Qty Sold
[*]Royalty Due (= Royalty Fee * Qty Sold)
[/LIST]

The weird behavior:  when the report is first created and previewed the Royalty Due values are OK but after it is saved or after further customization of the report the amount is calculated incorrectly.  Instead of multiplying the two columns the formula field displays Qty * Qty. 

Furthermore, the grand total of the Royalty Due column is never correct!  :eek: Rather than showing the total of all the rows above, it shows the total Qty multiplied by itself.

Howdy, Stranger!
