How to create report condition based on "total"

Question

Hello,
I have a Discoverer report that shows revenue by city and sub-totals revenue by state.
I need to modify this report so that only cities in states with revenue (sub-total) more than one million are pulled.
Example:
Pittsburgh - 100,000
Harrisburg - 200,000
Erie - 300,000
------State:PA 600,000
Los Angeles 500,000
San Fransisco 600,000
Oakland 200,000
-----State:CA 1,300,000
In this example, the report should show only the cities in California, as the revenue sum is over 1 million:
Los Angeles 500,000
San Fransisco 600,000
Oakland 200,000
---State:CA 1,300,000
Is this possible?
I'm using Discoverer version 10.1.2.2.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello
You need to do two things to solve this problem.
1. You need to create an analytic calculation that returns 1 when the sum of the revenue in all of the cities in a state is one million or more
2. You need to create a condition such that you only include states when the above is 1
Let's call the calculation, OneMillionStates and I will assume your fields are called State, City and Revenue
Here's the formula:
CASE WHEN SUM(REVENUE) OVER(PARTITION BY STATE) > 1000000 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
Now your condition shoudl be: ONEMILLIONSTATE = 1
You don't even need to display the calculation on screen and notice how the city does not even come into the calculation.
