Hi,

I'm trying to use the sum of one column in my else condition from the GUI side.

Eg: FORECAST/P17.3 = IF '&REPORT_TYPE' EQ 'TRUE' THEN A ELSE Total(A);

I'm not able to understand how I can calculate Total(A) and use it in if-else condition.

Can anybody please suggest how this can be done?

Not knowing exactly what you are doing, I would suggest a multiverb request.

Untested.
 TABLE FILE CAR
SUM  COMPUTE MAX_COST/D16 = DEALER_COST ;
BY COUNTRY
SUM DEALER_COST
COMPUTE FORECAST/P17.3 = IF '&REPORT_TYPE' EQ 'TRUE' THEN DEALER_COST ELSE MAX_COST;
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
END

Thanks Waz for the response. I resolved the issue by creating another tables using using hold and by using WHERE WEEKENDINGDATE GE &FIRSTWEEKENDINGDATE;
WHERE WEEKENDINGDATE LE &WEEKENDINGDATE;

This gives me the total of the column in between the first weekending date and the last weekending date. Here I have used firstweekendingdate and weekending date as variables.
