Thank you, bless you but what do I put in the var's? Sure they need to refer to the group total field but how do I refer to a field that hasn't a name but is the sum() of a group column.

>Simple. You really need two report variables for this.

>>The Route totals are at a group footing, totalling when group Route changes. So the values (in the 1st 2 totals: 370 and 400) are calculated, via Report Expression dialog, by the total fields being the same as the cursor fields: Trip1 and Trip2 (i.e their columns) and, via teh "Calculations" button -> Calculate Field dialog and "Sum" radio button selected.

>>Trouble is, I need to do some maths on the 2 total fields, working out the percentage difference between them (in this example - 8%).
