Trying to do a Row-Total, however I have a percentage in this 'Row-Total' and need it to compute the total percentage and NOT sum it. I also have subtotals. So the report has a subtotals and row-totals. In the subtotals and row-totals there is a percentage. I figured out how to get the percentage to compute rather than sum in the subtotal, BUT now I can't figure out how to get the row-totals to compute the percentage rather than sum them. This is what my code looks like....

TABLE FILE HOLD1
SUM TOTAL1 AS 'TOTAL' SKIP-LINE OVER
MI OVER
COMPUTE CUMPCT/P6.1=(MI/TOTAL1)*100; AS '%'
BY ORGN PAGE-BREAK NOPRINT
BY ISSUENAME NOPRINT
BY POOLNO
BY ISSUENAME RECOMPUTE MULTILINES
-*ON ORGN RECOMPUTE MULTILINES ROW-TOTAL AS 'GRAND TOTAL'
ON ORGN SUMMARIZE
ACROSS MONTH
ON TABLE SUMMARIZE
HEADING
"PAGE <TABPAGENO <93 Contract Underwriting"
"<77 Pacific Region Volume By Pool Name - Ref# 742"
"<99 &CURRMON <103 &CURRENTYEAR"
" "
"<ORGN"
" "
END

Please help!

you can't use row-total
you have to use a compute , after your across, and actually crank out the formula for the value you want. (i actually learned this from another FocalPointer)

Can you explain in more detail?
Are you saying I should do this....
ACROSS MONTH RECOMPUTE

If you use the command RECOMPUTE instead of SUMMARIZE it will actually recompute at your sort break. This will recompute your percentage formula based on the subtotals also at the break level.

Hi focusermgic,

Has this issue been resolved for you? Many thinks to pointers from Susannah and acavasos.

I ran a quick search on Focal Point and came across the following topics which may be of interest:

Calculate the percentage of a group value from a total sum

differnt formatting on data rows and subtotals

Prefix operators with ROW-TOTAL

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
