[SOLVED] Suppressing Grand Total only when 1 "Department" is selected

I'm trying to suppress GRAND TOTAL when the user selects only one "Department" from a drop-down list, so that the totals for that department are not repeated.
When the user selects more than 1 department, I want to keep the grand total for all departments, as well as totals for each department.
I've tried Multilines and/or NOTOTAL in combination or each on its own, with either SUMMARIZE or RECOMPUTE. I either always get grand totals, or never get grand totals when selecting 1 or more departments. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You most likely have a variable that tells you how many Departments were selected. Test that and create a variable that disables the Grand Total when only one Department is selected. Something like this:

-SET &COUNTRY0 = 2;
-SET &COUNTRY1 = 'ENGLAND';
-SET &COUNTRY2 = 'JAPAN';

-SET &GRTOT = IF &COUNTRY0 EQ 1 THEN 'ON TABLE NOTOTAL' ELSE '';

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES/D10
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR

ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL MULTILINES AS 'TOTAL'

WHERE COUNTRY IN (
-REPEAT REP1_END FOR &COUNTER FROM 1 TO &COUNTRY0

'&COUNTRY.&COUNTER'
-REP1_END
)
&GRTOT
END


Set &COUNTRY0 to 1 to see the behaviour.

There is also the WHEN command which allows conditional presentation of subtotals, subfoots, subheads, etc.

Unfortunately not for Grand Totals.

You can create a dummy extra byfield as the first by field.
then you can use the when statement
