[SOLVED] Subtotal only for multiple lines

My client wants to see a subtotal line if and only if there are multiple lines in the sort group. The old school way of doing this is:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SEATS
COMPUTE TEST/I11 = IF CAR = LAST CAR THEN TEST +1 ELSE 1; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON CAR SUBTOTAL WHEN TEST GT 1
END


I thought I had read that in one of these releases after 7.6 there was an adjective added to the SUBTOTAL command to do this, or am I just getting old and having halucinations? The client is using 7.6.8 on a Unix box.

I can use the MULTILINES keyword in WF 5.3.4 to accomplish what you need:

TABLE FILE CAR 
PRINT 
        SEATS 
BY COUNTRY 
BY CAR 
ON CAR SUBTOTAL MULTILINES
END

MULTILINES
Suppresses the printing of a subtotal line for every sort break that has only one detail line, since the subtotal value is equal to this one value. Note that MULTI-LINES is a synonym for MULTILINES. MULTILINES is not supported with horizontal (ACROSS) sort fields.

Ok, so MULTILINES came out WAY before I thought it did.

Thanks for the help all

Robert,

Could you please switch the topic to [SOLVED] or [CLOSED]?

Thanks,
