Can totals in one report be referenced in another

I have a report which returns data (usage seconds from Table 1) that I use to charge our different groups. My problem is, this data isn't accurate. I can pull similar data from another table (Table 2), that is very accurate, but the data stored in this table cannot be linked any groups (the id stored is simply a service ID).

So, on to my question. Can I take the total usage I get from Table 2 and use it in my report for Table 1?

What I want to do is get the percentage of the usage against Table 1 and charge them that percentage of the total from Table 2.

It sounds like a weird request, but this is due to our Analyzer tables not recording the correct data, and this is the best work around I can find while IBI does research. I am doing this manually once a month (exporting the report to Excel and putting in my own formulas). I would like to make it automated so I can put it in RC and distribute it to those that need it.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Well, if you get bored go ahead and respond. I found a way to do it with a lot of HOLD files. It's lengthy, but quick and it works. I'm open to suggestions to streamline it, but this gets me going for now. Thanks for any thought you put into this!

Ryan, it's Friday, thinking caps are 1/2 way off!!!

Here's an example; I am going to assume that you are executing the FEX's back-to-back, OR, with a -INCLUDE, AND, a P13.2 format for the example below:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

TABLE FILE FILENAME
SUM
PRICE1
PRICE2
PRICE3
ON TABLE SAVE
END
-RUN
-READ SAVE &PRICE1.A15., &PRICE2.A15., &PRICE3.A15.

It is now available to be passed:

EX FOCEXEC PRICE1 = &PRICE1, PRICE2 = &PRICE2, PRICE3 = &PRICE3

etc.

OR

For a -INCLUDE, it's available immediately

Also, you may want to make it a GLOBAL(&&) instead of a LOCAL(&).

Tom

THANKS TOM!

I know what you mean about those thinking caps. Mine hurts after coding all the HOLD files. I'll give this a shot first thing monday.

Thanks again to anyone who put some thought into this!
