I have difficulty formatting a particular ACROSS column. The old way of

"COLUMN=Nx", or "COLUMN="

does not work. Any idea?

Thanks.

To specify a particular ACROSS value:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
COUNTRY NOPRINT
SALES

ACROSS COUNTRY

ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=SALES, COLOR=RGB(255 0 255), $
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=SALES, COLOR=RGB(255 0 0)  , WHEN= COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'  , $
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=SALES, COLOR=RGB(0 255 0)  , WHEN= COUNTRY EQ 'FRANCE'   , $
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=SALES, COLOR=RGB(0 0 255)  , WHEN= COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY'    , $
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=SALES, COLOR=RGB(0 255 255), WHEN= COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN'    , $
TYPE=REPORT, ACROSSCOLUMN=SALES, COLOR=RGB(255 255 0), WHEN= COUNTRY EQ 'W GERMANY', $
ENDSTYLE
END

You need the COUNTRY NOPRINT so that it's available for the WHEN clause.

Actually, the WHEN clauses work fine without the extra COUNTRY column; it's available as an ACROSS column already after all.

Funnily enough, there is a difference between both forms; with the NOPRINT column the SALES column titles get printed, without it they don't.

Anyway, for whatever reason you need to add that column (WHEN recognising the field or getting ACROSS column titles), there's no rime or reason to it.

Or, IF you know what columns you want to identify AND you do not know the values THEN you can identify the columns using numeric subscripts ELSE Whatever; (imho: I like this feature Smiler) 
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM COUNTRY NOPRINT SALES ACROSS COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(1), COLOR=RGB(255 000 255), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(2), COLOR=RGB(255 000 000), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(3), COLOR=RGB(000 255 000), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(4), COLOR=RGB(000 000 255), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(5), COLOR=RGB(000 255 255), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(6), COLOR=RGB(255 255 000), $
ENDSTYLE
END

I'm intrigued by Doug's code:
(I changed the ON GRAPH to ON TABLE of course)
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM COUNTRY NOPRINT SALES ACROSS COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(1), COLOR=RGB(255 000 255), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(2), COLOR=RGB(255 000 000), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(3), COLOR=RGB(000 255 000), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(4), COLOR=RGB(000 000 255), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(5), COLOR=RGB(000 255 255), $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=SALES(6), COLOR=RGB(255 255 000), $
ENDSTYLE
END


The country shows up above the word SALES wnen COUNTRY NOPRINT is selected - both in the appropriate colour.

Removing the NOPRINT gives a different result. The word COUNTRY shows up in black to the left of SALES if the NOPRINT is removed. SALES is still the correct colour.

If I remove COUNTRY NOPRINT altogether then the word SALES no longer appears in the heading, but the country names are in colour .....

George,

SALES appears in the heading because COUNTRY NOPRINT adds a field to your request and when there is more than 1 field in a SUM ... ACROSS the titles are shown.
The COUNTRY names are in color because you code TYPE=REPORT. See the following:
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM  SALES ACROSS COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=SALES(1), COLOR=RGB(255 000 255), $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=SALES(2), COLOR=RGB(255 000 000), $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=SALES(3), COLOR=RGB(000 255 000), $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=SALES(4), COLOR=RGB(000 000 255), $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=SALES(5), COLOR=RGB(000 255 255), $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=SALES(6), COLOR=RGB(255 255 000), $
ENDSTYLE
END

1) You need to adjust the subscripts when you remove the "COUNTRY NOPRINT" as that field is counted even though it is NOPRINTed (it's still in the matrix).
2) So, how'd I miss that "ON GRAPH" in my TABLE FILE request (or did I leave it there to see if someone would catch it?)? Either way, it a good learning experience...
