I've created a sample report based on Scott's schema. There are two queries:

-- QUERY 1
SELECT empno, ename, sal
FROM emp

-- QUERY 2
SELECT empno, comm
FROM emp

I created a data link between them, linking 'empno' columns.

Also, I've created a formula column in the second group which returns sum of 'sal + comm':

function CF_1Formula return Number is
begin
  return (:sal + :comm);
end;

This is the Data Model:

/forum/fa/3363/0/

This is the output; no error here:

/forum/fa/3364/0/

Could you explain what and how you did that (possibly differently from me) so that it didn't work properly?
