Is there a way to have a summary report calculate the variance of the difference between sums?

Basically I need the variance to be calculated as the following: FTE Target - FTE Sum (Filled) - FTE Sum(Open) = Variance. In which case would be  9.6 below.

Hi Dan,

Correct I do have Cost Center table. I'm also am doing the math in the record but it sums the individual variances on the summary which is not the result needed.

Question - is there a way to create a formula field that captures the totals shown at the bottom of a Report Link?

i.e. pull in the total 40.3 into a separate formula field? I'm thinking as a workaround have the math show in each record..I think this will be acceptable because the report consumer has to view each record individually anyway.

If you have a relationship between the Cost Centers and their detail records, then you can make summary fields to get those numbers (Totals or averages) up to the Cost Center record.
