Sum in a SELECT

Asked by: jaymz69

I have the query going through locations. I can get the total of each line $ but I want at the end of each location to have the sum before the next location is rowed out. or is it an Excel automation?

loc         item        qty        cost
1            x              2         5.00
1            y              10       250
1            z               1        100
                         Total    256.00
2            z             1000   8500
                         Total         8500
3             x            10        500
3             d              5       235

You can have it in the cursor, in the FRX report by using SUM and grouping or inside Excel Automation.

How I would do it is add a running total and it displays when the location changes and the total is not 0.

nTotal = 0
nLocation = -1
loop the cursor
    IF nLocation <> location AND nTotal <> 0
         print the total
    ENDIF
    nLocation = location
    nTotal = nTotal + cost
endloop

 

by: CaptainCyrilPosted on 2009-07-02 at 13:31:46ID: 24767470

if you wish to reset the total add nTotal = 0 after you print it.

You can also run a query which is faster

SELECT location, SUM(cost) as total GROUP BY location INTO CURSOR loctotals
use this table to fill the locations totals
REPLACE loctotal WITH loctotals.total for location = loctotals.location

in SQL you can only sum by grouping, like Cyril shows. Then the sql result will have a recrd with the sum for each group, but not the single records. The way you want to sum, this is something you do side by side to printing or exporting rows to excel.

In a VFP report for example, it's much easier to configure a report variable, set it to sum a certain field and to reset at a group change. Or in Excel have a sum after each group.

Cyril shows you how to do it with SQL, it may be faster, but not much, and you need to store the sums back to the corresponding records. That's easier if you do a simple output to excel via EXPORT or COPY TO excelfile.xls TYPE XLS, but then this also has it's downside in lowe control about the output and xls file format. If you output to excel by excel automation it's quite easy to have a variable summing for each group and output it as the group sum, then reset it to 0 at group changes, like it's done in a VFP report.

Bye, Olaf.

If I do the Query it repaets the total for every row. I just wanted to get a loc_total when a location changes. So I see the loc_total under the total_cost by each location

 

by: CaptainCyrilPosted on 2009-07-06 at 12:07:44ID: 24788220

Just run a variable and when you detect a change print the total like I have shown you earlier.
