sql server misc: i'm trying to run a crystal report with a sum of a certain column of
dollar amounts. the problem is that there are certain instances where
some of the records are duplicated and unfortunately the duplicated
dollar amount is added into the total at the end. i'd like to know how

Hi

You don't say if this is a report function or a SQL function.
If you should not return duplicate rows then the would remove the added
value. If you can determine the rows to be included then you can use a CASE
statement to conditionally add up the appropriate values.

e.g

SELECT
SUM(CASE WHEN Col2 = 'Value' THEN Col1 ELSE 0 END) As ConditionalTotal
FROM MyTable

You don't say why the duplicates exist, but if you create a union, the
duplicate rows are by default excluded. Just repoint the report to the
new view.
