Answer / thanjairajan@gmail.com

Returns a running total by row (including the current row) for a set of values

*For example if our list container contain order no,product name,quantity
*Then we drag query calculation
*Then we give name for new column. that name is Total.
*In expression definition window drag running-total function from summaries function of left side available components.
*If we want ruuning-total for quantity,drag quantity data item within running-total function. like running-total(quantity).
*Finally in report output in total column the first quantity value will display in first row of total column, in second row of total column add first quantity and current row quantity, in third row of total column add first,second and current row quantity.
