Dear All, thank you in advance for your help end sorry if question is too simple/naive. I have file SALES like Region Place Amount A London 2 B London 2 A Paris 2 B Paris 2 A Berlin 2 And I need to get Report like Region Place Amount A Berlin 2 London 2 Paris 2 B London 2 Paris 2 Total 10 Berlin 2 London 4 Paris 4 Line Total is not essencial, but idea is that first I group/sum data by Region and after that at the end of report I need to show data by Place. At the moment I can form such report in few runs. TABLE FILE SALES SUM COMPUTE REGION/A10=''; AMOUNT BY PLACE ON TABLE HOLD AS H1 END TABLE FILE SALES SUM AMOUNT BY REGION BY PLACE ON TABLE HOLD AS H2 END -RUN TABLE FILE H2 PRINT * MORE FILE H1 END Can I do such report in one run, using TOTAL or SUBFOOTER, multiverb functionality or even in some other more simple way? Thanks for advise Piter --- WF7.7.03This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry, Wf7704/WF8,Win64/32 | ||

Hi Piter, You've got a nice solution. Why do you want another one? Because of performance? ( not having to query twice ? ) You could
TABLE FILE SALES
SUM AMOUNT
BY REGION
BY PLACE
ON TABLE HOLD AS H_REGION_PLACE
END
TABLE FILE H_REGION_PLACE
SUM COMPUTE REGION/A10 = '';
AMOUNT
BY PLACE
ON TABLE HOLD AS H_PLACE
END
TABLE FILE H_REGION_PLACE
PRINT *
MORE
FILE H_PLACE
END
Slight difference with your version is that I use the data from the first HOLD to fill the second one. ( since the data is there anyway ). This results in only one actual query. But when the HOLD file is big you might not gain performance. G'luck hope this helps? _____________________ WF: 8.0.0.9 > going 8.2.0.5 | |||

Thank you, Dave. Nice note! Power of WF - no need to overload db  But in fact, coming to my initial request - there is no way to have something like table file somefile sum amounts by country by product totals where total by product makes end ?Wf7704/WF8,Win64/32 | |||

In the basic you can only get the data once in a report. But of course you are not the first with this problem And as said before there are several solutions. You did one. Mcguyver is an other, FML is also one you might like. With multiverb you can create the totals in an other way, hide it and use it in the footing. You can also build two separate reports and combine them in one compound report. So....many ways to skin a cat...
