"ON TABLE SUBTOTAL" caption and data not in the same row? [closed but not solved]
I remember seeing this in the old version of webfocus, either 4.3 or 5, but it seems this problem still exists in 7.6. When I use ON TABLE SUBTOTAL, the text "TOTAL" is always one row higher than the data. I know I could place

You are not the first to notice this phenomena and I doubt that you will be the last.

I was trying to say in my original post that this is an awkward solution because I have over 50 columns - 4 columns each month plus YTD total, and need to adjust their position one by one with stylesheet, but the left caret was cut off after I posted. Thanks anyway Smiler

I'll follow and post to that thread instead, and mark this closed.

However I'd like that master thread reopened or even pinned so everybody can rant there, lol

Hi..
In one of my current requirements, I dont need the BY field Valueto be displayed in the SUBTOTAL caption. I just want the word total.

 
ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS 'Total'


It needs to be displayed like, "Total" alone, instead of Total England, Total France etc.

I cant go for Subfoot, because the number of columns is very high, nearly 30+.

Any suggestions on getting this done ?


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

You can add an empty sort field


DEFINE FILE CAR
  DUMMY/A1='';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM 
    DEALER_COST
  BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
  BY DUMMY   NOPRINT
  ON DUMMY SUBTOTAL AS 'Total'
  BY CAR
  BY MODEL
END
