Hi everyone! I am trying to create a spread sheet that has dates horizontal (across) and vertical (by). I have two date fields (scheduled date and surgery date) that I am using. I want a rolling sum of all scheduled cases by the actual date. Has anyone ever attempted this or is there a feature that may work well for this? I do OK getting actual counts (counts on the actual days scheduled - see simple define code below) but the rolling part I am struggling with. Thanks for any help and let me know if I need to better clarify!

DEFINE FILE X
CNTBYDT/I10 = IF SCHDATE LE SURGDATE THEN 1 ELSE 0;
END
TABLE FILE X
SUM
CNTBYDT
ACROSS
SCHDATE
BY
SURGDATE
END

I basically want the result of this but to have the number rolling across (additive in a sense).

Thanks!

Split it into two steps:

the first will form a HOLD file with the case_count sorted BY actual_date and within that BY sched_date. That order facilitates computation of the cumulative case count.

the second will produce the cross-tabs report from the HOLD, as "sum cumulative_cases across sched_date by actual_date".

The 'cumulative cases count' field can be produced by either a Compute in the first TABLE, or a Define before the second TABLE.
