TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES BY COUNTRY ACROSS SEATS
AND COMPUTE whatever/I8=C3-C2;
END
...
Report Assist doesn't seem to recognize the C reference when using The Compute button
to get some margin calculation.
That can't be true, can it?
How do i teach users to , say, calculate a growth rate across 2 years using JUST the RA.
?

looking at the fex that gets created...
RA puts the COMPUTE statement before the ACROSS, so there's no way to calculate a margin value in an ACROSS.
That's just GOTTA be fixed. RA has GOT to be smart enough to deliver 2 kinds of COMPUTEs, before the across and/or after the across. Does anybody have a spark of genius?

I've never tried it with across, but C references in computes are tied to column values, so in your example C1 is sales, so are you wanting to do it on the first two columns of the across?

If you code this by hand and reopen the fex in RA the code is removed, so it seems to be not supported....

I do know that it will give a correct compute on the field names rather than column references, but I've also used column references and I'm sure it was in RA. Dev Studio has fits at times.
