Report Summarries

Post by Ken Warkenti » Thu, 24 Apr 2003 15:15:15



I have a table with daily commissions for each of my drivers. How do I print
a report with summarized monthly totals? I tried grouping by month, but it
still prints each daily total. Is there any way to querie the table to get
monthly sums? Thanks in advance

What is the structure of the table?

Is there a date field? (I'm assuming so)

dtVar="4/../2003"
qbe=query

  table.db  | driver   | datefield  | commissions               |
            | check    | ~dtVar     | calc sum as theirmoney    |

endquery
qbe.executeqbe("newtable.db")

This gets you a summary for a single month.

But if you want a report with a summary showing EACH of SEVERAL months, you
need to have a field that has JUST the month (numeric or alpha, your
preference).

Then you can summarize on that field with query or report.

Do you know the difference between a table band and a group band ?

If you want monthly totals only by driver,
do you want

Sort #1 , Driver then month
Driver 1
  Jan
  Feb
  Mar

Driver 2
 Jan
 Feb

or

Sort #2 , month then driver
Jan
    Driver 1
    Driver 2

It sounds like you have grouping by month figured out,
but my guess is , you have left the record in the table band, which means it
shows every record in the table.
Eliminate records from the detail table band, and then only the summaries
will print.
This will allow the report to do the summing, and you wont need a summary
query.

Good luck

1. Keeping Sub-summarries printing together

I've got a layout with a "sub-summary sorted by PA", and I have checked the
boxes "allow part to break ..." and "discard remainder ...". I don't know what
else to do. What I want is a printout that has everyone sorted by PA grouped
together, which I get.

But sometimes, the list of folks associated with a PA goes over to the next
page. The folks that dribble over to the next page don't get that same heading
of "PA" if it is a carryover. Is there a way to get that header to show, or to
move all the groups of sorted PA's to one page so I don't get half on one and
the other half.

I don't want one group of PA's on one page.
