 Simple Question...simple answer???

Good day to all.

I'm trying to do something simple.

Company     Time     Dollars (Time x 200.00)

----------------------------
Totals      Hrs     Dollars    1000.00 - Dollars

I want to make a simple report that takes time x 200.00 and fills a
formula field
called dollars. This prints as a summary report, one line per company,
with Time being the summary of the time details and dollard being the
summary of time x 200.00.

example:

ABC company     2.5     500.00
DEF Company     3.0     600.00

Totals          5.5     1100.00         this field ??

OK so far.

This field ?? needs to be 1250.00 - the sime of the dollars (1100.00 in
this example).
I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried 1250.00 - dollars and I
just get a 1250.00
in the field. I know this is simple. Can anyone point me in the correct
direction?

Thanks

Alan

I think the formula you want is
sum({table.timefield}) * 200 and just put this in the report footer

But I see no reason why you can't sum the Dollars field and create a grand
total.
The dollars formula should look like
{table.timefield} * 200
