My issue is I have to calculate the percentage by dividing the subtotal of column A to (subtotal of column B + subtotal of column C) and display it in the header. This is my sample source code:
 
TABLE FILE TABLE_TEMP
SUM
   CNT.FIELDA WITHIN FIELDB WITHIN FIELDC
BY LOWEST FIELDD NOPRINT
BY LOWEST FIELDB
ACCROSS LOWEST FIELDC
ON FIELDD SUBTOTAL AS '*TOTAL'
HEADING
"Percentage:  "
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML

The result I got is:
FIELDB    FIELDC_VALUE1     FIELDC_VALUE2    FIELDC_VALUE3
ValueA     4                    2                3
ValueB     5                    1                7
ValueC     6                    3                2
*Total     15                   6                12

The requirement I got is I need to calculate the percentage based on the total I got : 15 / ( 6 + 12) = 83% then display 83% in the HEADING.

Could you guys please help me out on this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried a multi-verb request?

I agree with my friend "New Jersey" , multi verb requests are easier [for my brain] to understand; and also, note that whenever you want to put a calculated thing into a heading, then put the HEADING commands at the bottom your your fex, after all the crunching. That way, the reporting matrix actually has access to the number you've just crunched.

To be honest, I don't know how to use multi-verb in my case. I am trying to get something like C1 / (C2 + C3) to get the total value of each column but no luck. The ACROSS makes a litlle bit confuse here, I can't get Total value of column 1 or 2.

use the car file, when you want to give an example.
SET ASNAMES = ON
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES AS TOTSALES
SUM SALES AS SUBTOTSALES
BY COUNTRY
SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR
END
now take a look at what you have in the 3 data columns, and see how easy it is now to make calculations of shares.
If you do this sort of thing in a single pass at the data, you can use NOPRINTS on the totals columns, but they're still available to use.
remember with mutliple verbs that the BY fields must match:
BY a
BY a BY b
BY a BY b BY c, etc.
