I am having a report its layout is as below
Customer : F_1

         Sales men :          F_2
                      
  F_3(CF_STK_TYPE_DESC)       F_4


                          
                            

OUTPUT:

Customer :  David


         Sales men :     Thomas

Furniture                100
Automotives               50
Textiles                  20
Mobiles                   10

         Sales men :    Daniel

Furniture                 30
Textiles                  10
Ship                      20

Customer : George


         Sales men :      Thomas

Furniture                 20
Mobiles                   50


         Sales men :    Daniel

Furniture                 10
Mobiles                   20




But i need the output as below

      Salesmen :      Thomas        Daniel

Furniture                120           40
Automotives               50           
Textiles                  20           10
Mobiles                   60           20
Ship                                   20


So i need to change the fields in such a way to compare for all the customers based on items and to add them.

Can anyone help me clearly to write the formula for the field in order to do so.

That would be a matrix report. Create a query that selects values you need; use a wizard which will guide you through a process of creating such a layout.

Well, "output" and "I need the output" seem differently to me (so I'd say that it *might* be a different layout).

Why can't we add a field like summary column and write a logic in that like if the same item for a same sales person add it.(i won't think so we can write in summary column but like summary column can we use some other or write a FORMULA columnm.

If you chose the "formula column" approach, then forget about Reports Builder for a moment.

Open SQL*Plus (or any other tool you use) and write a query (or PL/SQL program unit) which will calculate a value you are interested in. Once you manage to do that, copy/paste its code into Report Builder's Formula column.
