Create a variable called debtSubtotal (for example) and make it the same data type as $F{debt}. Set the Calculation to 'Sum', the Reset Type to 'Group' (and pick the appropriate group from the dropdown), set the Variable Expression to $F{debt} and the Initial Value Expression to 0. If you also want a grand total for the report, right click the new debtSubtotal variable in the Report Inspector, choose 'Copy', then right click on 'Variables' and choose 'Paste'. It will make a copy of the previous variable, now called 'debtSubtotal_1'. In the Properties pane, change the name to something like debtTotal, and change the Reset type from 'Group' to 'Report'. Leave everything else the same. Now you can drag a copy of your $V{debtSubtotal} into your group footer band (and set the Pattern and the Horizontal Alignment appropriately) and drag a copy of your $V{debtTotal} into your Summary band. Hope that helps. Carl
