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.

    Summary Report

    I'm stuck, I've searched the board and found a few examples but not able to get may head around it all. I need some input.
    What I have is 1 table with all the data I want to display in a single summary report.
    I have 9 product groups and I'm wanting to sum each group for each location on the same line for each group.
    see attached pdf.

    Thanks for any idea

    Re: Summary Report

    I have 9 product groups and I'm wanting to sum each group for each location on the same line for each group.
    If the product groups are constant you can create 9 calculated fields with tablesum() or dbsum() expressions. The report writer total() function is intended to create totals for report defined groups - in a vertical, down the page fashion.

    BTW, table/set samples are much more useful than output snapshots in this instance.
    There can be only one.

        I did as you suggested and it will allow me to do as I need how ever have a problem with the snytx. I set a var for the location
        and have set product type to a fixed value. The script to create and fill the var is on onprintint. All I get is zero's

        tablesum("williamson county","Location= "+quote(var->mypart)+".and.Type='OCC'","Itemweight")

        onprintint:
        dim mytbl as p
        dim global mypart as c
        dim global mytype as c
        'debug(1)

        mytbl =table.open("williamson county.dbf")
        'mytbl=table.current()

        'mytbl= table.get("williamson county.dbf")
        mytbl.fetch_first()
        while .not. mytbl.fetch_eof()
        mypart=mytbl.Location

        mytbl.fetch_next()
        end while
        mytbl.close()

          I have attached a table with sample data.
          For anyone that would be able to help me with this problem.
          As stated above I need to create a summary reportby location for
          each of the 9 products with as summary value for each one on the
          same line. Looking to use tablesum or dbsum.

          Thanks for any help

            Re: Summary Report

            For what its worth, I'm finding that my problem is not the Tablesum expression but getting the value for the varaiables for the expression. The onprintint event has the script I posted earler which should get the var's needed but only the last record of the table is used. So when I print the report all the location show the value of the last record.
            mytest2 = tablesum("williamson county","Location= "+quote(alltrim(var->mypart))+".and.Type="+quote(VAR->my1paper),"Itemweight")



            Thanks

              Re: Summary Report

              OK! Please tell me, is this something that can't be done with A5 reporting system? If anyone has done this please point me in the direction. The onprintint event isn't giving me what I need. Please any suggestions, I 'm really trying to put this together on my own to sell the idea of using a5 to my bosses who think a5 is a toy and not a real database solution.
              You and I know better but i need to solve this problem to give them the proof.

                I lost track of the thread.

                Not sure how you got from "calculated field" to "onprintinit". The reason I mentioned that the product groups needed to be constant was that you need to hard code the tablesum() expressions to get all of them on the same line.

                If you have two locations you would need 18 calculated fields.

                tablesum("williamson county","Location= 'Hometown' .and.Type= 'OCC' ","Itemweight")

                You could also crosstab the table and report on the result.
                There can be only one.
