I'm trying to make my report look a certain way and I was wondering what would be the best method to get the output to look like the way shown below.

Dec 07 Jan 08 Feb 08 FYD Total
Total|Budget Total|Budget Total|Budget Total|Budget|Variance
Province 1
Province 2
Province 3
Total

You are going to have to give us more information. What part of what you specified are column headings? Or is every line a different set of totals?

Please give us a little more to work with from the data input side.

Yea I guess it changes the format on here when you paste.

The Dates are the column headings and the Total|Budget are column subheadings. The provinces are the row headings.

Does that help?

Are you going to have a set of column subheadings for each date heading?

Tell us about your measures, i.e. the data that you are adding up to put in the buckets.

Right now I'm including the dates as my column headings. I haven't separated them into headings and subheadings yet.

There's already a Total field and the budget is a set number and my variance is total - budget.

Well, here is some quick pseudo-code that might work though I don't totally understand:

TABLE FILE filename
SUM TOTAL BUDGET 
COMPUTE VARIANCE/D12.2=BUDGET-TOTAL;
BY PROVINCE
ACROSS DATES ROW-TOTAL
END

Does that make sense to you based on your data?

Yes that's what I was looking for.
Thank you

Right now it shows EXPDATE_MMYY as the column heading and then underneath it it's Nov, 2007. I was wondering how can I get rid of the column heading EXPDATE_MMYY. I just want it to show the date as Nov, 2007.

This is my code:
TABLE FILE EXPENSES
SUM
TOTALAMOUNT/D15.2 AS 'Total'
MAX.BUDGET AS 'Budget'
MAX.VARIANCE AS 'Variance'
BY REGION AS 'Region'
ACROSS EXPDATE_MMYY ROW-TOTAL; AS 'Total'
WHERE EXPENSEDATE GE '20071101';
WHERE REGION NE ' ';
END

Take the semicolon off of the ACROSS and say AS '' which gives you no title.

TABLE FILE EXPENSES
SUM
TOTALAMOUNT/D15.2 AS 'Total'
MAX.BUDGET AS 'Budget'
MAX.VARIANCE AS 'Variance'
BY REGION AS 'Region'
ACROSS EXPDATE_MMYY ROW-TOTAL AS ''
WHERE EXPENSEDATE GE '20071101';
WHERE REGION NE ' ';
END  

That doesn't get rid of it. That just changes the name of the Total.

I figured it out.
