Accessing 'TOTAL' Text in GRANDTOTAL Style

How can I access the TOTAL text that appears from an ON TABLE SUB-TOTAL command, within the style section?

In the following CAR example, I can set the color to orange for the SEATS column. I also know how to set the color for the entire grand total row. But I can't figure out how to access the TOTAL cell independently:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
CAR
SEATS
BY COUNTRY

WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 7

ON TABLE SUB-TOTAL

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=GRANDTOTAL, COLUMN=SEATS, COLOR=ORANGE, $

ENDSTYLE
END


Thanks for your help!
Sean

Sean - Try this code:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
SEATS
BY COUNTRY
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 10
ON TABLE SUMMARIZE AS 'Total'
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
PAGESIZE='Letter',
LEFTMARGIN=0.250000,
RIGHTMARGIN=0.250000,
TOPMARGIN=0.250000,
BOTTOMMARGIN=0.250000,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
GRID=OFF,
FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN',
SIZE=10,
COLOR='BLACK',
BACKCOLOR='NONE',
STYLE=NORMAL,
$
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL,
COLOR='ORANGE',
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Sandy,

Thanks for the response.

I'm hoping that there is some variation that will style just the 'TOTAL' cell, independent of all the other cells (columns). I can't find anything that will do that, short of doing what you have shown, then undoing the styling for the totaled columns.

Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,
Sean

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
SEATS
BY COUNTRY
ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 7

ON TABLE SUMMARIZE

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=SUBTOTAL,COLOR=BLACK,STYLE=BOLD,$
TYPE=SUBTOTAL,COLUMN=SEATS,COLOR=ORANGE,$

ENDSTYLE
END

works...
or...

ON TABLE SUMMARIZE

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL,COLOR=BLACK,STYLE=BOLD,$
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL,COLUMN=SEATS,COLOR=ORANGE,$
works.
just not the ON TABLE SUBTOTAL
probably because subtotalling at the end of an entire table is kind of whacky

Seems you can change a Title, Acrosstitle...but not this. Surely there's a trick.

Susannah,

Thanks for your response.

That's not quite what I'm looking for though.

I can get the result as follows, but I want to be able to access the TOTAL text directly, and not indirectly as in the code shown below:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
CAR
SEATS
BY COUNTRY

WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 7

ON TABLE SUB-TOTAL

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=GRANDTOTAL, COLOR=ORANGE, $

TYPE=GRANDTOTAL, COLUMN=SEATS, COLOR=BLACK, $

ENDSTYLE
END


Prairie,

Yeah, I agree there must be some way, but perhaps I have found a hole in the styling options.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Sean

Prarie,

We were posting around the same time....I see you found my workaround. Smiler

If anybody knows a more direct method though, I'd appreciate seeing it!

Thanks,
Sean

Smith, the method we've given you does address the TOTAL text directly.
Its just that you have to do it by addresseing the entire line
and then...
back out each individual summed element and set its color back to something ordinary...leaving only the TOTAL text remaining in the style globally applied to the total line.
Take out the ON TABLE SUB-TOTAL... because that's a puzzling concept.. We total or summarize at the end of an entire table, we sub-total or subtotal on BY field breaks.

Susannah,

I guess what I was looking for was something like
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL, COLUMN=TOTAL, COLOR=ORANGE, $

but as you say, I have to access the entire row (which includes the TOTAL text and whatever column totals you may have), then subtract from that.

I was just hoping that there was something that would address the 'TOTAL' column by itself.

Thanks,
Sean

Susannah,

Point noted on the SUB-TOTAL, I will revise to SUMMARIZE.

Thanks,
Sean
