Copying calculated fields

Saving calculations to the Global Calculated Fields list is a good way to copy a calculation from one report to another. Many calculations are in the Global Calculated Fields list, but not all. Here’s how to add the ones you want.

To save a calculated field to the Global Calculated Fields list:

1. In 13-3 Report Writer, open a report that contains the calculation you want to copy.

2. Select Edit > Calculated Fields.

3. In the Name field, click the drop-down arrow.

4. Click the desired calculation.

5. To add the calculation to the Global Calculated Fields list, click Save to Global Calculations.

   This adds the desired calculation to the Global Calculated Fields lookup window.

Now you can insert the global calculated field into other reports without creating a calculated field for each report. How?
