[SOLVED] Creating in Excel a total formula for a formula column

I read through previous discussions and was able to get formulas in several columns of an Excel report using COMPUTE statements and PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K FORMULA. An example is Column A has a rate value. Column B has a number, but all values are reported as 0 and will be filed in by the report user. Column C is a formula for A * B.

The problem I now have is needing to populate the total line with a formula that will sum Column C, not be A * B. Anyone know a trick to make this happen? We're on WebFOCUS 7.6.8.

I guess I am not understanding the question.
ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL
gives that formula by default in Excel:
=SUM(D3Big Grin20)
Just use the regular totals and subtotals, not the recompute or summarize.

Thanks for the comment. I was really just trying to make it too hard. A simple COLUMN-TOTAL gave the SUM formula for both regular data and formula columns. This is a great feature!!
