How do I display only subtotals in my report (supressing the individual lines of data)? I'd like to do this via the GUI if possible. Thanks!

Is there some other condition associated with this task that doesn't get processed by clicking on the "Sum" tab and, perhaps, removing sort fields until you get to the level you want?

I'm sorting BY a date field, and that is my only sort field. I tried to use SUM, but the results are not what I want. What I need out of this report is to show aggregated monthly totals for the data. The individual lines of data within each month are unwanted.

So, I'm guessing that the date field is MDYY format (mm/dd/yyyy). Try defining a new field with format MYY, assign it the original date field, and use that as your BY field.

Thanks - I've actually done that already, which got me closer. I've got the subtotals I need, but now I want to get rid of the individual lines of data.

To clarify, I have a defined MYY date field being used as my lone BY field. I then have two numeric Detail columns, followed by a computed field (on the two numeric fields). I have subtotals at each change in the month, and I have a recompute on the subtotal.

plusrelo,

While in the Painter, why not experiment by double-clicking the columns, and, see what options are available, like visible or not???

You need to use SUM to eliminate the detail. I'm thinking that, with your only BY field being the MYY field, the subtotal line will be redundant.

Regarding the Compute/Recompute:
If you want the Computed field to be summed in the report, make it a defined field. If you leave it as a computed field, it will be calculated based on the sums of the other two fields.

That makes the entire column invisible.

That didn't work, either. Smiler

At this point, maybe I'll open a ticket with the help desk. It may be that someone needs to see the file.

Thanks for your efforts!

Use dummy/blank fields as placeholders for your columns. Sum the fields you need using NOPRINT. Then use SUBFOOTS with ST. to display your subtotals.

Here is a quick and dirty sample:

DEFINE FILE CAR
DUMMY1/A1=' ';
DUMMY2/A1=' ';
DUMMY3/A1=' ';
COL1/A20 = 'Country';
COL2/A20 = 'Dealer Cost';
COL3/A20 = 'Retail Cost';
COL4/A20 = 'Sales';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
DUMMY1 AS ' '
DUMMY2 AS ' '
DUMMY3 AS ' '

DEALER_COST NOPRINT
RETAIL_COST NOPRINT
SALES NOPRINT

BY COUNTRY NOPRINT


ON COUNTRY SUBFOOT

PlusRelo,

Could you post your procedure? It seems that this is a very simple SUM ... BY. Like this:

  
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST DEALER_COST 
    COMPUTE DIFF/D7=RETAIL_COST - DEALER_COST;
BY COUNTRY
END

Here's the code:

TABLE FILE GL_DETAILPOSTING
PRINT
EMPLOYEES
REVENUE
COMPUTE REVPEREMP/D12.2 = REVENUE / EMPLOYEES;
BY NEWPOSTDATE

ON NEWPOSTDATE RECOMPUTE AS '*TOTAL'
WHERE POSTINGDATE GT '20070101';
WHERE DEBITAMOUNT NE .00;
WHERE ( ACCOUNT IS '3$$-$$' ) OR ( ACCOUNT EQ '950-00' );
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,

Plus,

TABLE FILE GL_DETAILPOSTING
-*PRINT
SUM 
EMPLOYEES
REVENUE
COMPUTE REVPEREMP/D12.2 = REVENUE / EMPLOYEES;
BY NEWPOSTDATE

-*ON NEWPOSTDATE RECOMPUTE AS '*TOTAL'
WHERE POSTINGDATE GT '20070101';
WHERE DEBITAMOUNT NE .00;
WHERE ( ACCOUNT IS '3$$-$$' ) OR ( ACCOUNT EQ '950-00' );
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON

this should do it.

In the GUI click on the SUM button for your fields EMPLOYEES REVENUE and REVPEREMP.

Bingo! In hindsight, that was really easy. Embarassingly so. Big Grin I guess I'll chalk that up to being a newbie.

Thanks to everyone for your help!
