How do I specify a group as the scope for the RunningValue function?

[Wayde]

I'm attempting to use the RunningValue function that accepts a System.String for the "scope" parameter.  The documentation says it can refer to a group but when I assign it the name of a group I get the following exception:

"Invalid Scope: 'DivisionId'"

... where "DivisionId" is the name of the group and also the name of the field the group is grouped by.

Help!

Thanks - wg

Hi Wayde,

You also need to make sure the provided scope is valid for that context. For more information see Expression scope help article.

Let me ask this a different way ...

Is there something like a SUM DISTINCT ... that acts like the "CountDistinct" function except that it accepts something like a scope (by which to determine distinctness) and a field (to sum)?

Thanks

Hello Wayde,

There is no such thing as SUM DISTINCT in Telerik Reporting. However you can define your own user functions and aggregate functions through which you can achieve exactly what you want. Please check our User Functions and User Aggregate Functions help articles for more information.
