Here’s how the calculation works with different values for Field 1 and Field 2:
\n
| Field 1 | Field 2 | Result (Field1 + Field2) | Summary Formula |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 20 | 30 | 10 + 20 = 30 |
| 15 | 25 | 40 | 15 + 25 = 40 |
| 50 | 100 | 150 | 50 + 100 = 150 |
| 200 | 300 | 500 | 200 + 300 = 500 |

Crystal Reports Calculate Using Two Other Fields on Report
\n
Crystal Reports is a powerful business intelligence application used for designing and generating reports from various data sources. One of the most common requirements in reporting is to calculate values based on data from multiple fields. This article explains how to calculate a value using two other fields in Crystal Reports with practical examples and step-by-step guidance.

What is Field Calculation in Crystal Reports?
\n
Field calculation in Crystal Reports refers to the process of performing mathematical operations on one or more fields to derive a new value. This calculated value can then be displayed in the report, used for further calculations, or included in summaries and subtotals. Crystal Reports supports a wide range of mathematical functions, allowing you to perform simple arithmetic operations, complex financial calculations, and conditional logic-based computations.
\n\n
Using two fields for calculation is a fundamental technique in Crystal Reports. For instance, you might need to calculate the total amount by multiplying quantity and unit price, determine the discount amount by applying a percentage to the total, or calculate the net profit by subtracting expenses from revenue. These calculations help transform raw data into meaningful business insights.
