I'm using 7.6.4

I have a query that I need to display the total number of records in the SUBFOOT, as well as the average of one of the columns in the SUBFOOT.

The total portion works, but the average portion does not.

Any help would be appreciated.

DEFINE FILE SOC_CLR
RECCOUNTER/I8 = 1;
CYCLE_DAYS/I8= IF INVESTIGATION_OPEN EQ '' THEN 0 ELSE DATEDIF(INVEST_OPEN2, INVEST_CLSD2, 'D');
END

TABLE FILE SOC_CLR
PRINT
REQUESTER_LOGIN_NAME_ AS 'Employee ID'
CYCLE_DAYS AS 'Cycle Days'

ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"Total Records = "Average Cycle Time =
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 10;

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

Here's a simple example that might help:

DEFINE FILE CAR
MODELCNT/I3 = 1;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
DEALER_COST
MODELCNT NOPRINT
BY CAR
BY MODEL

ON TABLE SUBTOTAL

ON TABLE RECAP
COST_AVG/D11.2 = DEALER_COST / MODELCNT;

ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"Total Cars: <TOT.MODELCNT"
"Average Dealer Cost: <COST_AVG"

END

Is there any way to make it work with a TABLE FILE PRINT rather than a TABLE FILE SUM?

Please disregard my last post. I finally noticed that I was missing the MODELCNT NOPRINT
equivavlent line in my code.

Once I did that I got the desired result.

Thank you all for your help.

Can this same thing be done by group?

For example:

DEFINE FILE SOC_CLR
RECCOUNTER/I8 = 1;
CYCLE_DAYS/I8= IF INVESTIGATION_OPEN EQ '' THEN 0 ELSE DATEDIF(INVEST_OPEN2, INVEST_CLSD2, 'D');
END

TABLE FILE SOC_CLR
PRINT
REQUESTER_LOGIN_NAME_ AS 'EmployeeID '
REQUESTER_DEPT AS 'Department'
CYCLE_DAYS AS 'Cycle Days'

BY RECCOUNTER NOPRINT

ON REQUESTER_DEPT RECAP
DAYS_AVG/D11.2 = CYCLE_DAYS / RECCOUNTER;

ON REQUESTER_DEPT SUBFOOT
""
"Total Records = "Average Cycle Time (Days)= ""

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

I think the problem is with the "RECAP", but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Please change your code so you will see your reccounter. (remoce the noprint)
You will see it is not what you want it to be.

And your RECAP field should also be a BY field.

Thank you. That worked.

Will WF 7.6.4 let me do a subfooter on a group AND on a table?

On a TABLE would not be a subfooter but a report footer.

I would like to suggest some basic training. It will help you a lot.
And search in the documentation for PREFIX values.

You can say

ON COUNTRY SUBFOOT AVE DEALERCOST
ON COUNTRY SUBFOOT MAX DEALERCOST

Thank you for your help.

I had very basic training 5-6 years ago, but my background is in MS Access development and Visual Basic, so I am trying to get back up to speed on WebFOCUS (which has changed versions several times since I had my initial training).

I'm rather experienced in Access and VB, but with WebFocus we can do much more and much quicker, but I have to convince my IT colleagues every time since the only want .NET
