Calculating Gross Profit error.

Ok so i am wanting my data to calculate gross profit.

So i have made an exception saying:

'tblJob'.'NetBilled' - 'tblJobCost'.'TotalNet'

So it takes away my Sales from my Labour/Plant costs etc.

Although this is multiplying it by 15.

Anyone help?

I think you are doing this in a footer, as a result this is the sum of lots of repeating entries in a details section (my guess would be 15 repeating detail entries) the details section may be hidden and this may be what is confusing you.
