Hi All,

I need to use the subtotal in a calculation for a financial report.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR.COMP.CAR
CAR.CARREC.MODEL
CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
CAR.BODY.SALES
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY

ON CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS 'SUBTOTAL'
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END

In the above mentioned code, I am calculating the sub total on the grouped field.
I need the value of the subtotal in a formula. The new temporary field will then use (dealer_cost / subtotal of dealer cost @ country level)*sales.

Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in doing so.
Have also tried doing it in the subfoot.

Please do let me know any solutions.
Thanks for looking.

And what do you want to do with your temporary field?

The new temporary field, which uses the subtotal values in its calculations, needs to be shown as a detail field in the report.

The users are doing it in excel, but they want the report to do it.

Is that what you need ?

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
 COMPUTE DC /D10C = DEALER_COST;
 COMPUTE RC /D10C = RETAIL_COST;
 COMPUTE SAL /D10C = SALES;
BY COUNTRY

SUM 
 DEALER_COST
 RETAIL_COST
 SALES
 COMPUTE DC_RATE /D10C = DEALER_COST / DC * SAL;
 COMPUTE RC_RATE /D10C = RETAIL_COST / RC * SAL;
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL

ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END

Thanks for the reply Martin.
It is similar to what I am looking for.

Let me work on it further and I will post my response.

This should do the trick:

  
-* File sumant01.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
 COMPUTE SDCOST /D7 = DEALER_COST; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY
PRINT 
 CAR.COMP.CAR
 CAR.CARREC.MODEL
 CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
 CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
 CAR.BODY.SALES
 COMPUTE TEMP /D7.2 = DEALER_COST / SDCOST;
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY SUBTOTAL DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST SALES AS SUBTOTAL
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END
