Using two Subtotals to calculate a ratio

I am getting a brain cramp trying to tackle this problem:

I have a report that has three subtotals based on three different part types:

Type 1 Part1 $111
Part2 $111
Part3 $111
Subtotal 1 $333
Type 2 Part1 $111
Part2 $111
Subtotal 2 $222
Type 3 Part1 $111
Subtotal 3 $111

I need to do a ratio calculation of Subtotal 2/Subtotal 1 as long as Subtotal 1 is greater than 0.

The user actually wants this ratio as part of the Subtotal 2 line which is another animal in itself.

Any ideas how I can tackle this problem or restructure my report to handle this?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Tim

ouch...a brain cramp...You probably want to look up the RECAP command and the ST. prefix. That ought to do it for you.

You can also do this using SUBFOOT.
Here is what I think your trying to do:
DEFINE FILE CAR<br />TYPE_NUM/A6 = DECODE COUNTRY('ENGLAND' 'TYPE 1' 'FRANCE' 'TYPE 2' 'ITALY' 'TYPE 3');<br />END<br />-RUN<br />-*<br />TABLE FILE CAR<br />SUM<br />RETAIL_COST<br />COMPUTE RATIO/D10.7S = 0;<br />COMPUTE ORD/A1 = '1';<br />BY TYPE_NUM<br />BY CAR<br />WHERE COUNTRY IN ('ENGLAND','FRANCE','ITALY')<br />ON TABLE HOLD AS H0 FORMAT ALPHA<br />END<br />-RUN<br />-*<br />TABLE FILE H0<br />SUM<br />COMPUTE CAR/A16 = '';<br />RETAIL_COST<br />COMPUTE RATIO/D10.7S = IF TYPE_NUM EQ 'TYPE 2' THEN RETAIL_COST / (LAST RETAIL_COST) ELSE 0;<br />COMPUTE ORD/A1 = '2';<br />BY TYPE_NUM<br />ON TABLE HOLD AS H1 FORMAT ALPHA<br />END<br />-RUN<br />-*<br />TABLE FILE H0<br />PRINT<br />RETAIL_COST<br />RATIO<br />BY TYPE_NUM<br />BY ORD NOPRINT<br />BY CAR<br />MORE<br />FILE H1<br />END<br />-RUN

I may have the ratio calculations backwards to what you want, but this is a method to have different subfoots. Works for two levels anyway.

SET STYLEMODE = FIXED
TABLE FILE CASHFLOW
SUM SHRT_TERM_DEBT NOPRINT
SHRT_TERM_EQUIT NOPRINT
BY QTR
SUM SHRT_TERM_DEBT
SHRT_TERM_EQUIT
BY QTR
BY MONTH
WHERE QTR EQ 'Q1 1998' OR 'Q2 1998'
ON QTR RECAP
RATIOA/D7.3 = ( LAST C1 / C1 ) * 100;
RATIOB/D7.3 = ( LAST C2 / C2 ) * 100;
ON QTR SUBFOOT
" <20> <ST.SHRT_TERM_DEBT <ST.SHRT_TERM_EQUIT "
WHEN QTR EQ 'Q1 1998'
SUBFOOT
" <20> <ST.SHRT_TERM_DEBT <ST.SHRT_TERM_EQUIT <RATIOA <RATIOB "
WHEN QTR EQ 'Q2 1998'
END

Susannah, reFOCUSing and Leah:

Thanks a bunch! I tried the examples and looked at the RECAP command (which I didn't think was this versatile), and I can definitely use any one of these to accomplish what I need to do.

You are all lifesavers!.....and I am in desparate need of a vacation.
