  Hi

  i want to print several delivery notes. I’ve created a group (IdAlbaran) to separate each delivery note. But i want to add a calculated field to indicate how much pages are in each group.

  i’ve tried with grouppages(IdAlbaran) on Idalbaran_Footer Onformat but i always have 1 as result (including those notes with more tan one page). My questions are:

  • How it Works grouppages()? It’s for counting pages? or whats is its function?

  • How can i calculate the number of pages per group?

  thanks in advance

  Hello Jon,

  To display page numbers with respect to groups, you may use GroupPage and GroupPages methods.

  • You may use these in a Calculated field placed inside a GroupHeader/GroupFooter.
    
    GroupPage and GroupPages return the current page number within a group and the total page count for a group, respectively.

  -You can use these in the Text property of a field as, say, ="Page " & GroupPage() & " of " & GroupPages()

  Refer the attached report for implementation.
  
  Let us know if you need further assistance.

  Best Regards,
