Report with Percent of Total Eugen 05-29-2008

Hello,

Is it possible with the report writer to create a field which is a
percentage of the total. For example on the value list we can have a total
field. My customer wants another field on the report which is a percentage
value of the total.

Thanks,

Hi Eugen,

Use a custom field on the report and do it as a calculation like this

Begin Column
FieldName = "Pecent"
DrillDownFieldName = ""
DrillDownReportName = ""
StoreIDFieldName = ""
Title = "% Margin"
VBDataType = vbDouble
Formula = "(ITEM.PRICE-ITEM.COST)/(ITEM.PRICE+0.0000000001)"
ColHidden = False
ColNotDisplayable = False
FilterDisabled = False
ColWidth = 780
GroupMethod = groupmethodAverage
ColFormat = "#.##%"
End Column

Hope that helps?

Thanks J,

thay want something like the following:

DEPARTMENT SALES PERCENT
total $100.00
WINE $10.00 10%
BEER $90.00 90%

I'm guessing the formula would be something like (QUANITY *
PRICE)/SUM(QUANTITY*PRICE).

Hi Eugen,

That looks right to me, try it and see what happens, you can always remove
it later if all goes wrong ;-)

Alternativley for advance calculations and data presentation we create views
in the SQL Enterpise Manager - we find allows for higher level data analysis.
The tell the RMS reporter to use thed view instead of the default tables.

If that makes sense?
