Can any buddy tell me that how to do ranking on Subtotal.I mean Subtotal is not a field so how can I pass the value of Subtotal to the last parameter of Ranking.

try the following

SET ASNAMES=ON
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST AS 'SUBTOT'
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS CARHOLD FORMAT FOCUS INDEX COUNTRY
END
JOIN COUNTRY IN CAR TO COUNTRY IN CARHOLD

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST DEALER_COST
RANKED BY HIGHEST SUBTOT NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY SUBTOTAL
BY CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END

Do you want to 'rank' the countries, or just order them?

Ranked, in a single table request:

DEFINE FILE CAR
TRCOST/D6=RETAIL_COST;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM TRCOST WITHIN COUNTRY NOPRINT
RETAIL_COST
RANKED BY HIGHEST TOTAL TRCOST NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY SUBTOTAL PAGE-BREAK
BY CAR
BY MODEL
END

Jack, That does not work because Although WebFocus calculates the TRCOST correctly, the BY's on CAR and Model cause a problem.

Hi JG,

Actually I have three fields categoryname, country and lineitemtotal, So I want to subtotal by Categoryname and pass the subtotal's value to the ranking,
which display the report like category wise all the countries and LineItemTotal and at end of each category it will show subtotal.

Sumit, using the join method as in the example should give you what you need.
