>>>Sum : 300
>>>
>>>RecType:1 and step:2

>>>Sum : 400

Sorry Reza I did not explained it better;

What I meant is after you convert hierarchy keys you have now
1-1
1-2
2-1
2-3
etc

Into fake keys 001-001,001-002 etc (but without dash)
provided that cursor is ordered by this composite key, these would have been exactly group expressions
for your FRX.

First group (expression)

left(hkey,3)
then
left(hkey,6)

And so for.

'Hkey' here is just a field name I assigned to this artificial field which is to be used to order cursor and
build FRX grouping easily.

You might need just one level of grouping, whereas this is general way to implement this kind of
hierarchies for reporting purposes.
