I have a report that is calculating the total hours worked by store number and by region, group and district. I want to be able to add a column on the report that shows what the % of the total hours for each group that store is in.

I can't figure out how to add the computed field to determine the percentage of the total for the group on each store line.


Here is my code:

TABLE FILE T_PROD_LABTRANS
SUM
REGULARHRS
BY REGION
BY BSTGROUP
BY BSTDIST
BY SITEID

ON BSTGROUP SUBTOTAL AS 'TOTAL FOR GROUP '
WHERE ( ENTERDATE GE DT(2007-02-04 00:00:00) ) AND ( ENTERDATE LE DT(2007-08-08 00:00:00) ) AND ( CRAFT EQ 'BSTTECH' ) AND ( SITEID NOT LIKE 'S-%' );
WHERE TOTAL REGULARHRS NE .00;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET EXPANDABLE ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K FORMULA
ON TABLE SET COMPOUND 'BYTOC 2'

Hi Rob,

Here's an example using the CAR file.

-*
SET ASNAMES = ON
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES AS 'CAR_SALES'
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
SUM
SALES AS 'BT_SALES'
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
BY BODYTYPE
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD_SUM1 FORMAT ALPHA
END
-*
? HOLD HLD_SUM1
-*
DEFINE FILE HLD_SUM1
BT_PCT/D6.1% = (BT_SALES / CAR_SALES) * 100;
END
-*
TABLE FILE HLD_SUM1
PRINT
BT_SALES
BT_PCT
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY CAR_SALES
BY MODEL
BY BODYTYPE
ON CAR SUBFOOT
" "
END

Hi Rob,

Did you get a chance to try Jim's suggestion? Many thanks to Jim's help. Smiler

Please try the following code as well:

DEFINE FILE CAR
RETAIL2/D6=RETAIL_COST;
END
 
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL2 NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY
SUM RETAIL_COST
    COMPUTE TOTINCOUNTRY/D10.4=100 * RETAIL_COST / RETAIL2;
BY COUNTRY SUBTOTAL
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END


The DEFINE for RETAIL2 is to create a unique fieldname to use in the COMPUTE.

The following online document may be of interest as well:
Computing a Percentage of Subtotal

Hope this helps. Big Grin

Cheers,

Kerry

Kerry your way worked great! Thank you so much!

I really didn't want to mess around with the HOLD files, etc.

Thanks again!

Or... something like this should work depending on the release you are in. I don't know what release the command WITHIN came in.

 TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
    PCT.RETAIL_COST WITHIN CAR
BY COUNTRY SUBTOTAL RETAIL_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END


ttfn, kp

WITHIN has been around for many, many years now. It is probably one of the most forgotten and under utilised pieces of powerful syntax.

Thank you Karen for reminding us.
