I would like to use the column totals in an ACROSS report to compute a new value, and then to display this value beneath the Column Total at the end of the report.

But, I need the individual across values, e.g. C1, C2, etc not just the overall total.

define file ...
tvalue/... = value ;
end

table file ...
write tvalue noprint
across colkey
write value
across colkey
by rowkey
...
end

should give you n col total variables and n col detail variables which you can reference in COMPUTE or RECAP.

What type of compute is on your mind? Is it a function of the number of columns only or also of the values of the ACROSS sort field?

For example:
I sum SALES BY COUNTRY ACROSS SEATS.
The new value is the sum of the column-total for all seats with an even number.
  
-* File gcohen01.fex
SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES BY SEATS 
ON TABLE SAVE
END
-RUN
-SET &S=&LINES;
-SET &T=0;
-SET &SP='<+0> ';
-REPEAT #COMP FOR &I FROM 1 TO &S;
-READ SAVE &SEAT.A3. &SALES.A6.
-TYPE &SEAT &SALES
-SET &T = &T + IMOD(&SEAT + 1, 2, 'I2') * &SALES;
-SET &SP=&SP | '<+0> ';
-#COMP
-RUN
-SET &SP=&SP | '<FST.T'
DEFINE FILE CAR
T/I6=&T;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
     SALES
ACROSS  SEATS
BY  LOWEST COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL AS 'TOTAL'
ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL AS 'TOTAL'
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"&SP"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE,
     ACROSS=1,
     BACKCOLOR='WHITE',
$
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE,
     COLUMN=ROWTOTAL(1),
     BACKCOLOR='WHITE',
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING, HEADALIGN=BODY, 
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Thanks for everyone's input.

GCohen, we have a McGyver Dynamic Subtotals/SubFoots technique under the tips and techniques section, which may be of help: http://www.informationbuilders...opers/McGyverDynamic

Happy holidays to everyone!! Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry
