I have a report that has $COL1, $COL2, $ Difference of Col1 and Col2, and %Difference of Col1 and Col2. The $ and % differences come from the database. I want to have a total row on the report to sum up the columns but obviously I don't want it to sum up the column that is the percent column - I basically want to recompute it. Is there any way to do that when the values for percent are coming from the DB and are not computes in the report (I realize I can redo the COMPUTE in the report, but I'm curious if there's any way I can get around that).

I don't know if this will help you but you could use a multiverb request like the following:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM COMPUTE SALEST/I9 = SALES;
BY COUNTRY
PRINT CAR SALES
COMPUTE PSALES/D9.2% = SALES / SALEST;
BY COUNTRY
END

Rather than doing a column total, check out RECAP. It will allow you to add a computation based on the ST. of the other fields and place them in a subfoot.

Doesn't RECAP require a BY field with RECAP in the SUBFOOT of the sort break?

I do believe you can do an ON TABLE RECAP and ON TABLE SUBFOOT.

As an alternative, you could decide to not use the %diff field from the data base, but rather compute it yourself. It should give the same result as when retrieved from the database, and then you could do your total line by just doing a recompute.
