i having trouble finding way ratio summary data against group level data (not detail level)
a simplified version on problem follows:
say, have 2 tables 1 many relationship
stock left outer join sales on stock.barcode=sales.barcode
the report layout follows:
grouphead2 | grouphead1 | sales$ % stock$ % details | sales groupfoot1 | a=sum(sales,{group1}) a/b c=stock c/d groupfoot2 | b=sum(sales) d=sum(stock)
i can ratio a/b work follows:
a/b = sum({sales},{group1})/sum({sales})
but "d" running total (made running total wizard) because want stock on hand each barcode vs sum of sales each barcode
thus if try ratio "c/d" receive error.
edit: output looks follows - say:
sales$ % stock$ % 200 13.3 50 100 300 20 20 28.5 800 53.3 30 30 200 13.3 10 9.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1500 110
note percentage stock wacky because recalculating total (running) on each line instead of using total value (eg 110)
edit 2:
i saw similar question , hoping offer adaption (which has escaped me) of answer suit above scenario.
the answer follows:
sum ({ numeric field }, { grouping item }) % sum ({ numeric field })
the problem different mine { numeric field } introduced @ group 1 level needs evaluated once per group 1
i'm guessing there maybe way "d" without using running total (?) or better way make ratio "c/d"?
any appreciated
thanks b
