[SOLVED]Computing Rate Problem

I have the following data.

FIELD1	FIELD2	TOTAL	NET	
L001	AA	132	2	
L001	BB	275	3	
L001	CC	582	6	
L002	AA	110	1	
L002	BB	29	1


In the report, I am rolling up FIELD1. My TOTAL and NET are coming out right, but the RATE (defined by NET/TOTAL in the report) is all wrong. What it is doing is taking the rolled up NET and dividing it by the last TOTAL for FIELD1. How can I make it compute RATE using both rolled up fields?


FIELD1	TOTAL	NET	RATE	
L001	989	11	1.89%	<--- should be 1.11%
L002	139	2	6.90%	<--- should be 1.44%


I also need to make sure column totals compute the RATE correctly as well. Right now, it is simple adding up all of the rates. Thanks.

I haven't tested this but try:
COMPUTE RATE/D5.2=SUM.NET / SUM.TOTAL;
If that doesn't work, try
COMPUTE RATE/D5.2=ST.NET / ST.TOTAL;
Either way you will need a BY on Field1

You are joking of course!

If you really don't know then go and ask someone where the manual is and look for COMPUTE in the index.

If that is beyond you then call IB and ask for a days consultancy. Oh, and while you are doing that ask about training courses as well!

I apologize for my stupid follow-up question. I have figured it out and the COMPUTE statement works perfectly. Thank you for your patience and your help.
