TABLE FILE FUNDING
SUM
BUDGET_AMT/P21C AS 'Budget'
BY LOWEST ACT_CD AS 'Budget ,Activity'
ACROSS HIGHEST BDGT_FY AS 'Fiscal Year'
WHERE Service_Name EQ 'IT';
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML

For an example
display output:
Fiscal, Year
2012 2011 2010 2009
200 500 800 999 <<--all budget for each year


But how can I write code to to find a diff between budget year. I'm still struggle how to hold value.

Fiscal Year
2012 2011 2010 2009
Budget 200 500 300 900
diff: -300 (budget year 2012 - budget year 2011)
diff: 200 (budget year 2011 - budget year 2010)
diff: -600 (budget year 2010 - budget year 2009)

Thanks in advance
David

Training... Training... Training... It's in the WebFOCUS 101 manuals...

BUt, check this out for starters: DEFINE last years / this years values and use them in your "difference" formula... Then show the results...
