ITALY  			4800  
JAPAN 			78030

Yes, using FML. Look for "Creating Financial Reports With Financial Modeling Language (FML)" in the Creating Reports With WebFOCUS Language documentation or Creating Financial Reports With Financial Report Painter.

You're posting a question on a WebFOCUS forum so I provided a WebFOCUS solution. With an ACROSS, a "simple divide" is not necessarily simple - what if there are more than three across columns, how would you address the individual columns?

This is what FML is for - it's not really another tool, it's an extension to the WebFOCUS code.

But since you're on DB2 Web Query, this all might be a moot point.

That will definitely work when you can be specific about the columns (C1, C2, C3, etc). FML is used you don't know the number of columns and for much more sophisticated stuff.

"precious"? hmmmm......
