Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    sum data for each month and post to other table?

    Hi All,

    Is it possible if I can sum data for each month from the daily expense and post the summary to other table.
    What I can do now is I can create the report and group the data for each month and summary the total expense for each month on the report but I don't know how to post the summary of expense for each month to other table?
    There is another way how I can sum the data (daily expense-parent and child table structure) and post to other table.
    I have parent-child table structure and I can create the summary report of the expense for each month from daily expense with no problem but I don't know how to post its summary data to other table.

    Please recommend how to post the summary data in calculate field (my summary expense for each month) to other table.

    Thanks
    Peter

    Create a new field in "other table". Make it calculated, use a tablesum() or dbsum() expression to calculate the summary you want.

    Recalculate the field rules for "other table".
    There can be only one.

          Having just done numerous summarize operations you will probably find that you will need to append the data that summarized to a new table as for some reason alpha likes to change the length of fields and then when you try to post to the correct table it doesn't match - I just duplicated the table I summarized to, change the field length to match, appended to that and then did a post operation. Took me hours to figure out why it wasn't posting - Just make sure you ZAP the table you are going to append to before using or you will end up with duplicates posting

            Hi Keith and Leah,

            I can post the data from the field of a table to another field of table with no problem but I summarize it on the report like total(G1invoice_Items->Extension,GRP->GRAND) and want to post the result of GRAND to a field of other table.
            Ah you mean you want me to summarize on the parent-child structure table and post it to other table?

            How can I put the command like total(G1invoice_Items->Extension,GRP->GRAND) in the field of table and then post it to other table? I can do the same with on the report?

              I try to put total(G1invoice_Items->Extension,GRP->GRAND) in a calculate field. It's ok but how can I let it summarize just only each product_id?
              what parameter I have to add more?

              Thanks
              Peter
