SYNTAX:

GGMZ(VarNum,GroupOffset/StartDate,Grouping/EndDate, Decimal_Places, MDL_Rule, GType, optional No_Value_Print) 

VarNum:  The variable number to get the total for.

GroupOffset/StartDate: Used with the Grouping parameter to set the dates to calculate the stat for.  Sets the number of Groups (set by the Grouping Parameter) to be added to set the dates.  See examples below. If this field is a date string (i.e. "07/16/2004") or refers to a cell with a date in it, it is assumed to be the start date to calculate the stat for.

Grouping/EndDate: Used to set which dates to calculate the stat for.  If the Grouping is a date literal string (i.e. "07/16/2004") or refers to a cell with a date in it, it is assumed to be the end date to calculate the stat for. Common Groupings are:

"D" Days
“M” Monthly 
"R" Report Dates

2 Display MDL symbol if all of the values contains the MDL symbol.
3 Display MDL symbol if over half the values contains the MDL symbol.
4 Cascade all symbols

GType: Sets how zero's are handled in the calculation.

0 - Ignore zeros
1 - Convert 0 to 1
2 - Add one to all
