I have a Crystal Report running against an Oracle database, which means I do not have the option of using stored procedures or SQL Commands.

The report has several levels of grouping.

Group 1 is the Reviewer, Group 2 the Patient Encounter, Group 3 the specific review tied to the encounter.   I would like to further group the Patient Encounters by type of Insurance (Medicare vs. Other.)  The only way to identify Medicare is to loop through multiple insurance details looking for a range of values in any one of those, and link that back to the encounter (Group #2).

I created a running total MCare, for "distinct EncNum", which is incremented if any of the insurance plans meet the criteria, and reset with a new encounter.

I created a formula InsType

shared stringvar InsType;
evaluateafter ({#MCare});
if {#MCare} = 1
then InsType := "MCare";
InsType

However, Crystal will not give me the option to group by InsType.   I am looking for a solution to identify the account based on the details as Medicare or Other, and then use that to group and subtotal for Medicare vs. Non-Medicare accounts.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
