Hi JESNI,

Will you please confirm that your syntax resembles the following:

ON TABLE SET SUBTOTALS ABOVE (no '=' sign)

If this is in your code, would you please provide some additional information about how this isn't working? Are you seeing any error messages? If so, what are they? Please also provide the code that you're using.

Thanks and regards,

Kathryn

Does not work for Active HTML reports.

These two perfectly legitimate programs can be used to test this:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL

ON CAR SUBTOTAL

ON TABLE SET SUBTOTALS ABOVE

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
END
-----------------------------
SET SUBTOTALS = ABOVE

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL

ON CAR SUBTOTAL

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
END

For Active reports, the code for putting the Grand Total at the top is in the Stylesheet section. Using a modified version of Francis' CAR code:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES/D12.2
BY COUNTRY SUBTOTAL
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,CALC-LOCATION =TOP,COLUMN=N4, CALCULATION=SUM, $
ENDSTYLE
END


Jesni, this worked with version 7.1 so it should be good for your version 7.6.2.

Here's a link that will help you with other Active features:
Creating an HTML Active Report

SUBTOTAL (=) ABOVE is 7.7.x syntax, I believe, and will not work with your version. Not sure why it's not working for you Francis. We don't have 7.7.x yet.

Unfortunately, it's not working for me because several things don't work when outputting Active HTML reports.

I have never seen the CALC-LOCATION attribute, so thanks for pointing it out.

I've found the documentation for it and there's some interesting stuff there:

Active Technologies User's Guide, Version 7 Release 7.03 > Creating Active Technologies Components With WebFOCUS Syntax > How to Control the Calculations Options.

So, it puts a total at the top, but only a grand total, it does not put the subtotals at tthe top. Also, the grand total row is still at the bottom.

Also, this grand total looks different from all other WF report grand totals - "Total Sum 208,420" is shown in the cell. How does one not get the text "Total Sum"? And you can't make it bold.

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL

ON CAR SUBTOTAL

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=REPORT, FONT='Arial', SIZE=9, $
TYPE=SUBTOTAL, STYLE=BOLD, $
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL, STYLE=BOLD, $
TYPE=REPORT, CALC-LOCATION=TOP, COLUMN=SALES, CALCULATION=SUM, $
END

I think that when output is AHTML, one should not add any subtotals: it is so easy to rollup!

Francis, agreed.

For grand totals only.
Use "ON TABLE NOTOTAL" to remove the standard grand total at bottom.
Beyond the color and backcolor, I have not found a way to style or modify the "Total Sum..." text.

But here's somthing you may like...Use the CAR table with the calc-area visible and then filter on England. Check out the new item that is added to the "Total Sum" cell.

Then check out the new item next to the SUM icon in the status area block. Click on it a few times. Some very cool functionality!

And Danny-SRL, I agree on the roll-ups. BTW, the Calc-Area carries over to the Roll-Up window, too. Though, looking at it now, there appears to be a bug in how it calculates the sum total.

Anyway, some fun (and possibly useful) things to check out.

Ricardo,

A solution:
 
-* File subabove.fex
SET SUBTOTALS=ABOVE
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY SUBTOTAL
BY CAR SUBTOTAL
BY MODEL
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"Grand Total: <+0> <+0> <TOT.SALES"
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TABFOOTING, HEADALIGN=BODY,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Nope! Frowner

Unless there is a bunch of commands for AHTML I am unaware of...

This shouldn't have been labelled "SOLVED", but "CLOSED", because the functionality does not exist for AHTML.
