Problem with Sum

Hi to all:

I'm newbie in Crystal and I don't know why Crystal return this message:

Quote:

---

A number field or currency amount field is required here

---

The * is where the crystal put the cursor

after try to insert a formula where the objectiv it's sum all the records in the field txredvaloriva:

Code:

---

Sum (*{lancamentos.txredvaloriva})

---

Thanks to all

What data type is the field txredvaloriva?

It needs to be numeric - it cannot be text based.

It's a numeric field

OK.. Do you actually have the * in there?

I assumed you were just using it to show us the cursor position, but if it is in there you need to remove it.

it just to show where the cursor is after the message
