[CLOSED]Using a Subtotal in a subtotal?
What I am trying to do is to use a a subtotal for the field like "customer#" and find the total sales for each customer and then find the total sales for each department... I would then like to have the report show the subtotals for each department ex dairy meat ext. Under the subtotals for each department I would like to show the percentage each department makes up out of the total sales for the customer #

Ex.


subtotal 1 by department
Dairy 20%

meat 17%

a 13%

b 15%

c 35%
Subtotal 2 by customer#
Customer Num Total Sales 100


there would also be many other columns showing details about each Item but I would just like to know how to calculate the percentage each department contributes to the total amount of sales for the cust#

Thanks for the help!

Hi there - I'm here at the Solutions Pavilion with FranDutch and Prairie who have an answer to your question!! We're having a great time at Summit too.

multiverb is the way to find the solution

or first put the data in a hold file and do the calculations on the hold

I hope this helps you a bit
