How would i subfoot after every department, but then when it got to department 5, it would spit out 2 subfoots, one right after the other each subtotal determined by a different subdepartment value.

Ex

department1
data
data
data
data
department1 subfoot

department2
data
data
data
data
department2 subfoot

department3
data
data
data
data
department3 subfoot

department4
data
data
data
data
department4 subfoot

department5
data
data
data
data
department5 subfoot1
when department EQ 5 AND racksubcode=1
department5 subfoot2
when department EQ 5 AND racksubcode=2 OR 3 OR 4

department6
data

data
department6 subfoot1

How about a define that handles the grouping, and subfoot on that instead of by dept?

Example
department 1 (any racksubcode) > "A"
department 2 (any racksubcode) > "B"
department 3 (any racksubcode) > "C"
department 4 (any racksubcode) > "D"
department 5 (sub codes as desired) > "E1"
department 5 (sub codes as desired) > "E2"
department 5 (sub codes as desired) > "E3"
... etc?

I thought of that and I am currently using something very similar to that, however, i don;t know how to spit out 2 subfoots on the department 5, with one of the subfoot calculating when racksubcode is 1 and the other when racksubcode is 2 or 3 or 4... one right after the other

EX. I would like it to look like a normal department except at the end there is two subfoots

department 5
data
data
data
data
^^data above contains all racksubcodes for dept 5^^
subfoot1
when department EQ 5 AND racksubcode EQ 1
subfoot2
when department EQ 5 AND racksubcode EQ 2 OR 3 OR 4

Are the totals being calculated in the subfooter, or are they already calculated in the incoming data via hold file etc?

If they're in the incoming data, perhaps you could add a column to the incoming data, so there is TOTAL1 and TOTAL2 for example. Then conditionally show TOTAL2 in the footer when the record is department5?

Or,since the data is sorted, you could compute/define for the totals and split them up into TOTAL1 and TOTAL2 that way, however that could get kind of hairy if there is a lot of stuff to total.

Charles,

Instead of multipass usage of HOLD files and creation of many defines, check the McGyver Technique out. Reference my article MacGyver Technique for Dynamic Number of Grouped Subtotals/Subfoots.

Simple, really, once you understand it...one pass for the data, no hold files, create as many separate or multiple subfoots as you need based on hidden or displyed values.

Play with the CAR database sample code I provide in the article and see if this will fit your need.
