[SOLVED] how to create temp variable
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...

Oh no... I wish my company send me to training.
Keep digging documents and self learner Webfocus. but don't know how to construct code. If anyone has simple code how to do it that will helps.

Thanks
