Hi all
I'm trying to get a crosstab that would be similar to a sales by product type, with region as the across column. Here's the twist:
1. I need to display a subset of all the regions
2. I need to add an Average Sales column at the end, for each row, that averages all the regions, including the ones not displayed.

I've tried the trick of multiple verbs:

TABLE FILE A
SUM AVE.SALES NOPRINT
BY PRODTYPE
SUM SALES
BY PRODTYPE
ACROSS REGION COLUMNS 'WEST' AND 'EAST'
COMPUTE AVGSALES/P10.2 = C1;
END

...but the average is only for the 2 regions specified, as opposed to all regions.

Any ideas? Thanks.


Thanks.

COLUMNS 'WEST' AND 'EAST'


This statement acts in fact as a "where clause"

You can do this but in two steps.
first calculate the average for the whole selection keep that in a hold file and then do a join with the original and the hold file to perform the end result.

Mark: Another way is to do your 2 verb calc (changing the across to by) without any selection put that to a hold file and then use a Where statement as Frank suggests on the Hold file to just show the regions you want. The Avg_Sales will still be for all regions.

OK, thanks. I was thinking that might be the case. As a follow up, is it possible to use "OVER" in the row summary for across? For example,

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RCOST NOPRINT DCOST NOPRINT
COMPUTE COL1 = RCOST + DCOST; NOPRINT
COMPUTE COL2 = AVE.SALES; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
SUM COMPUTE TOTAL = RCOST + DCOST; OVER
COMPUTE NUMBER = SALES;
BY COUNTRY BY CAR
ACROSS BODYTYPE
COMPUTE TOTAL1 = C3; OVER
COMPUTE TOTAL2 = C4;
END

Seems to almost work.


Thanks.

Verbose Solution
I Love Define and I Don't much like Across
So With Dialogue Manager I Set The Columns I Want to see :
®ION1 -> EAST, ®ION2 -> WEST (0 -> TOTAL)
DEFINE FILE A
-REPEAT FDEFSALES FOR &INDREG FROM 1 TO 2 ;
SALES&INDREG/??? = IF REGION EQ '®ION.&INDREG' THEN SALES ELSE 0 ;
-FDEFSALES
END
Your table Second VERB :
SUM SALES NOPRINT
-REPEAT FCUMSALES FOR &INDREG FROM 1 TO 2 ;
SALES&INDREG AS '®ION.&INDREG'
AND COMPUTE PCTSALES&INDREG/F6.2 = 100 * ( SALES&INDREG / SALES)
-FCUMSALES
../..
The idea is to hold Focus Hand so that he does precisely what you intend him to do

I am an old fashioned parent who do not let enough autonomy to the brilliant child.
On the other hand, some parents let their child do whatever they want.
Be a clever parent, and drive Focus not too tight, not too light (and let him know he is NOT the boss)

Why '&'REGION.&INDREG turned into ®ION.&INDREG, I really don't know

Becasue & REG is one of those shorthand codes to print special characters in HTML pages. Just like & nbsp; for a non blank space, etc. etc. etc.
