Take the BY YEAR NOPRINT out, and change PRINT to SUM.

Thanks, that worked. But if I wanted the year columns to be listed in different order. Can it be done?

This question was asked in the last couple of weeks I think.

This depends on the order you want.
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
ACROSS COUNTRY
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
ACROSS HIGHEST COUNTRY
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
ACROSS COUNTRY COLUMNS 'FRANCE' AND 'W GERMANY' AND 'ITALY' AND 'JAPAN' AND 'ENGLAND' 
END

I tried to use "ACROSS COUNTRY COLUMNS 'FRANCE' AND 'W GERMANY' AND 'ITALY' AND 'JAPAN' AND 'ENGLAND'" but developer's studio ignores and removes this code completely. Is there another way to do this?

Hi dz,

Please try the following:

DEFINE FILE  CAR
SORT/I9= DECODE COUNTRY('JAPAN' 1 'ENGLAND' 2 'ITALY' 3 'FRANCE' 4 'W GERMANY' 5 ELSE 0);
END
 
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM   DEALER_COST
       RETAIL_COST
ACROSS SORT     NOPRINT  
ACROSS COUNTRY
BY CAR
 
END


Cheers,

Kerry

The GUI side of DevStudio is not really capable of understanding everything us die-hard coders manage to come up with.
ACROSS COLUMNS is one of the things that's not in it. So you'll either have to revert to Kerry's solution, which is 'clickable' or do without the gui thing for this procedure.
