Dears,
I'm a webfocus beginner,I have a rebort need to designe like this


1997 compare growth rate
leve branch v1 v2 v1/v2 v1 v2 v1/v2
1 a 5 8 0.625 3 4 0.75 0.75/0.625 -1
b
c

my code is
TABLE FILE HOLD_KPI_2
SUM
V1/D12C
V2/D12C
COMPUTE rate/D12.2% = V1 / V2 * 100;
BY GROUP_ID
BY LEVEL_DEC
BY ID
BY NAME
ACROSS GROUP

anyone could told me how to Calculate growth rate whit compute?

thanks a lot

like
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
DEALER_COST
RETAIL_COST
COMPUTE V1/D12.2 = DEALER_COST / RETAIL_COST;
BY COUNTRY
ACROSS CAR
compute v2/D12.2%=

WHERE CAR EQ 'ALFA ROMEO' OR 'AUDI';

and I need to add compute v2
which is V1(FOR AUDI) / V1 (FOR ALFA ROMEO) -1 (LIKE GROTH RATE)

In my case is across by time dimension
THNKS A LOT

I think this is a simple arithmetic issue:

COMPUTE rate/D12.2% = V1 / V2 * 100;

should be:

COMPUTE RATE/D12.2 = (V2 - V1) / V1 * 100;

Thanks for George reply
but,in across table it would like

CAR
ALFA ROMEO AUDI
COUNTRY DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST V1 DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST V1 V2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITALY 16,235 19,565 .83 . . . ?
W GERMANY . . . 5,063 5,970 .85 ?

I don't how to get V1 from ALFA ROMEO and AUDI
to compute rate as v2

Hmmm.... something is getting lost in translation here. You say you want to calculate a growth rate, so I assume you have a value you want to find has increased by a given amount or the percentage of an increase. Of course if you want to calculate changes in rates of growth and how they affect a final outcome you are in the realm of calculus and numerical analysis and I can't help you there.

I'm still unclear what the DEALER_COST / RETAIL_COST gets you, except a value that would normally be less than zero... You say your ACROSS is a time dimension but I don't see one anywhere. Maybe you could try and restate your problem in words, rather than code and someone could help you out.
