sum where inlist help....

Hello,

I have a report that shows this:

dept               no

electronics      10

electronics 2    8

beauty             8

clothing           9

clothing II        5

I need to group by dept.

I made a variable =Sum ([no]) where ([dept]) InList ("electronics"; "electronics 2"))

This works fine.

The problem I am facing is that electronics/electronics 2 may not be there in every report. So the report hangs and hangs..

How do I fix?

Thanks

Chuck
