title: Addition of string fields in Crystal Reports
body: <p>I have a column name Amount whose values are sometimes like 400(300) and hence the data type is string in Crystal report.</p>
  
  <p>Now i wish to do summation of Amount Column.How to do that?</p>
  
  <p>the Sum(FieldName) forumla does not work because it is string. I, no way can convert it into numeric..</p>
  
  <p>Let me know if any inputs required.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks..</p>
