I'm trying to create a report with multiple formats in the same column. Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm running WebFOCUS 5.2.6.

Here is what I'm trying to do.

Column1 Column2 Column3
Value1  100.00   300.00
Value2  150.00   200.00

Column1 Column2 Column3
Diff       -50      100
% Diff  -50.0%    33.3%

I would simply do an OVER but I have to combine two other reports that have the same column titles that I need to have line up.
If I was to CONCAT the reports together they also many not line up since one of the reports does not have the same number of columns.

You can dynamically change the format of a field by creating the format in a DEFINE field and then using that to redefine the format in the report.

DEFINE FILE ADDRESS
FMT/A8 = IF ADDR1 EQ 1 THEN 'I4' ELSE 'D4.2%';
END
TABLE FILE ADDRESS
PRINT
'ADDRESS'
'INCRESE/FMT'
....
