 <callout type="primary" icon="true" title="note">  Aggregate operations, such as ''SUM'', ''MAX'', ''MIN'' etc when used inside tags in a report are calculated depending on whether they use conditions or not. Aggregate operations that do not use conditions operate only on objects iterated over in the report, whereas aggregate operations using conditions operate on all objects in the system. For example, if a report prints out all accounts with balance greater than 1000, the expression ''<<SUM Account.Balance>>'' will calculate the total balance of these accounts, whereas the expression <code aim><<SUM Account.Balance WHERE Account.Balance > 500>> </code> will calculate the total balance of the accounts that are greater than 500 (even though the report only works with the accounts greater than 1000).</callout>  <callout type="primary" icon="true" title="note">  Aggregate operations, such as ''SUM'', ''MAX'', ''MIN'' etc when used inside tags in a report are calculated depending on whether they use conditions or not.
