Calculating Total with Condition

What if we are trying to add a condition in another way? I need to Sum a Hours column, where another column (Earn_Code) = 1, and another aggregate where Earn_Code = 2.

I also have grouping enabled here. 

I was hoping I could just do SUM(Hours) WHERE Earn_Code = 1, but this is invalid. It seems I need to use a SELECT statement, which would not take the Grouping filter or the dates from the search form into account.

Hello @kpcollier,

You can add a calculated field in the Reports. Then have a CASE WHEN condition that will check if the Earn_Code is equal to 1. If yes, display the value of the Hours. 

CASE WHEN Earn_Code = 1 THEN [@field:Hours] ELSE 0 END

In the Totals and Aggregation, select this Calculated field and select Sum function.

Lastly, you can just hide the Calculated field so it will not be visible in the report.

 

Hope this helps.
