Hi everyone,
I am using ACROSS MONTH to display counts of data BY three fields. I want to display only the current month (last column of across) along with the ROW TOTAL (FYTD - Fiscal Year to Date).
I don't think I can use where statements b/c my row total would not give FYTD.
Don't think I can use syling either? Thinking that the number of columns will vary depending on the month I run it. For example in February I would only want to display the second column in across, in March only the thrid column in across, etc.
Does anyone have suggestions. Thanks in advance!

jcs, have you read up on FML? Financial Modelling Language, a part of webfocus that is just exactly perfect for your request. Its not an extra product, its already part of the focus you have.

Hi Susannah,
I didn't realize it was not an extra product! Thanks for the information. Is there a specific feature that you had in mind for solving. Thanks for the help!

JCS,

A little DEFINE and judicious coding and you can do it in a straight TABLE -
-DEFAULT &Month = 2
-DEFAULT &Year  = 1996
DEFINE FILE GGSALES
  FISCAL_YTD/D12.2C = DOLLARS;
  YEAR/YY           = DATE;
  MONTH/M           = DATE;
  FISCAL_MTH/D12.2C = IF YEAR EQ &Year AND MONTH EQ &Month THEN DOLLARS ELSE 0;
END

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM FISCAL_MTH
    FISCAL_YTD
WHERE YEAR EQ &Year
END
-RUN

You do not need ACROSS to do what you want to do.
Use a COMPUTE or DEFINE to calculate your FYTD columns and display them and thenuse a ROW-TOTAL.
