(with the field name &V2&)should be used for summarizing.

System Response

The data is summarized using characteristic &V1&.
Characteristic &V1& was initialized
Under the assumption that all key figures relevant for the
characteristic &V1& are additive, meaning that they accumulate when
summarized using &V1&

More complex forms of aggregating the data such as you can set for key
figures (for example, MAX, MIN, AVG etc) are not taken into account when
summarizing.

If not, adjust the report/variant definition so that summarization is
done using only those characteristics for which the key figuresare
additive.
