Calculating Running Totals in Columns

I am trying to calculate running totals in Dynamic columns
I have data that is monthly and want to create a running total in the columns.
Data Format in:
Material|Type|Month|Qty
Query Report Ex:
Material|Type|          Nov-05|     Dec-05|     Jan-06|     Feb-06
PART1| DEMAND|            -42 EA|     -46 EA|     -33 EA|     -3 EA
PART1| SUPPLY|          58 EA|       0 EA|   0 EA|     49 EA
Result|          |       16 EA|     -46 EA|     -33 EA|     46 EA
I would like running total taken from totals from previous columns + current column total are dynamic:
Result|          |       16 EA|     -30 EA|     -63 EA|     -17 EA
.continues for more parts

I am still having problems with this.
I have not figured out a way to control the Results row that is genereated to be a running total. Without having the data also becoming a running total.
I am wanting an new running total line. And not the standard Results row unless I can make it a running total and it leaves the data alone.
Material|Type| Nov-05| Dec-05| Jan-06| Feb-06|....<Dynamic>
PART1| DEMAND| -42 EA| -46 EA| -33 EA| -3 EA|....<Dynamic>
PART1| SUPPLY| 58 EA| 0 EA| 0 EA| 49 EA|....<Dynamic>
Standard Results Row:
Result| | 16 EA| -46 EA| -33 EA| 46 EA
I want this. Running total of the standard results.
Result| | 16 EA| -30 EA| -63 EA| -17 EA
I will look more on this next week.
Thanks.

Calculating running total

Hi All,
We have a cube which is an enhanced version of standard cube 0QM_C10(Notifications).
In this cube we have downtime details of equipments and the time granularity is CALDAY.
We have a report which displays the weekly availability % of equipment and the user entry for the same is CALYEAR.
The availability for each week is calculated over the 60 days period. For eg: Consider the week 1.2005 has end date of 7-Jan-2005, so to calculate the availability for this week, we have to consider data from 8-Nov-2004 to 7-Jan-2005. Similarly for week 2.2005, the data to be considered is from 15-Nov-2004 to 14-Jan-2005, and so on.
My problem is that i have to dispaly the data for all the weeks of the year entered in the same report.
How can i achieve it? Do i have to attack the problem at query level, or some thing can be taken care at modeling level?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Ankit

Hi Eugene,
Yes I do have 0CALWEEK infoobject in my cube.
The availablity % is calculated as follows:
Avail. % = {Total production time(sum of last 60 days time) - Total Downtime(sum of last 60 days downtime) } / Total production time(sum of last 60 days time)
I have to calculate this % for each week of the year and diaplay in the single report.
Regards,
Ankit

Cumulative Key Figure (Running Total) - how to use in formula?

We have a scenario where I need to use the cumulative value of a Key Figure in a subsequent formula. The Cumulated property setting at the Key Figure level in the query is a Displayed Data Only setting, however, so the cumulated values are not available for use in a formula The individual values are used by BW as opposed to the cumulative values that are displayed in the column.
Ive tried using the Cumulated property at the characteristic level. I am then able to use the displayed cumulative values in a formula. However, I also need to display the individual (not cumulated) Key Figure values in a column. These individual values are no longer available for display if the Cumulated property is set at the Characteristic level.
I thought that the Define Cells functionality could possible be used, but there is only one Structure in the query, so the Define Cells functionality is unavailable. I could not think of a way to use a second structure in the rows, as the rows need to be dynamic (two characteristics, populated based on user input variables).
It may be possible to accomplish this requirement by adding a column using VBA in the SAPBEXonRefresh sub, but use of VBA is not a preferred option, as the query may be run in either the Excel Analyzer or the Web Analyzer.
The infoprovider does not contain a Key Figure field for Cumulative Volumes.
The scenario details:
Rows (Characteristics):
A: Plant (values based on user input variable)
B: Calendar day (values based on user input date variables for start & end dates)
So there is one row for each day within each plant.
Columns (Key Figures):
A: Cumulative Volume at Start of Period (uses user input date variable for start date, and Constant Value property. Hidden column.)
B: Daily Volume (for each day in the period defined by the user input variables for start and end dates)
C: Cumulative Volume at End of Each Day (formula, meant to be equal to the sum of the Cumulative Volume at start of period plus the total so far of the Daily volumes. In other words, equal to the sum of Column A plus the running total of Column B).
Does anyone out there have any more ideas on how to accomplish the required Cumulative Volume computation?

Thanks for your reply Jurgen.
I've created a Global Calculated Key Figure (CKF), and have looked at and tried a number of settings in the Properties of this new CKF.
I have not yet been able to make this work for me.
The "Cumulated" property for a Global CKF is also a display-only property. The displayed running total is not used in any formula containing this CKF, only the individual values are used in the formula.
If I select the 'Enhance' option, where exception aggregation can be done as I think you suggested, I do not see a 'cumulated' option. If I select the 'Summation' option for 'Exception Aggregation', then the 'Reference Characteristic' pull-down is not available.
Is there a different 'Exception Aggregation' option I should be using for running totals at the calendar day level?
Or am I unclear on the concept of your suggestion?
Perhaps you're on a later version of BW that has more Exception Aggregation options? (We're on BW3.5)

Running total as header formula

I am looking for a simpler, more general, or just plain better way to calculate a running total of a column of numbers, such that the running total cell is the sum of a number in the same row & a different column plus the cell just above it in the same column.
IOW, if the numbers column is H & the running total column is J, I could use =H5 + J4 in cell J5. In J6, I could use =H6 + J5, & so on. I can extend the formula downward without any problems, but I must make an exception for the first row of data: for instance, if row 2 is the first to have a number to include in the running total, then in J2 I must use =H2, since J1 is a header column.
This means I can't use a simple formula in a header column for the running total. (I want to do this because I will be adding rows as the table is used, & I want all the formulas to automatically be added to each new row.)
After trying a lot of functions, I finally came up with this one for the header formula:
=H + INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN(),4))
It works, but I suspect there is an easier, more elegant, or more general formula that (for instance) won't break if I rearrange the columns in the spreadsheet.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Yvan,
Thank you for your comments, & for the formulas. I was hoping there was a simpler way to do this than with INDIRECT & ADDRESS, but apparently not.
In this particular spreadsheet, I do not need to worry about any blank values in column H because they are the results of a calculation that yields a number even if the row is otherwise blank.
The ISERROR clause does allow me to name the running total column since without it the formula would be trying to add a string to a number in row two. However, in this particular spreadsheet I do not need to name that column because it is hidden. (The running total number column is used in another column that formats it as part of a string that contains other conditional information.) In the interests of simplicity, I will not add the ISERROR clause to my formula in this spreadsheet but I will keep it in mind for use in other spreadsheets in which the column will not be hidden & needs to be named.
Of course, as an alternative I could just create the column name as an independent text object. Wherever possible, I tend to favor workarounds like that to reduce formula complexity.

Grands totals for % Columns coming incorrect in pivot view .

Hello ,
I have the below scenario . Iam trying to get the calculated grand total for % column . I tired several ways ...like report aggregates enabled in instanceconfig,tried creating cal colum using physical columns as well as logical columns in RPD , changing the aggregation rule. The row wise values (%) are coming correct but iam unable to get correct % grand total (36.8%) instead iam just getting the sum of the % total ( 83.3%) . I have tried the above options in my previous reports and those conditions work perfectly right but for this report they are not able to . kindly please let me know if anybody has a solution for this issue .
Department ...USD CAD Variance (USD/CAD)*100
XYZ 10 20 50%
ABC 25 75 33.3%
Total 35 95 36.8% ( 35/95)
Thanks
Karthik

Just to cross check
Do you have following tag in your instanceconfig file ? if its not there then you may encounter grand total incorrect calculations.
<ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled>

Running Total in Crosstab

Hello all,
I've been unable to find any solutions for my issue, and I'm desperately hoping someone smarter than me can help me out. I'm trying to create a running total across columns for a crosstab report.
The report looks like the following, as best as I can format it:
(date) JAN-09 FEB-09 MAR-09 APR-09
7 7 24 13 <--
(order type) (order #)
Sales Order ACK12342 -4 -3 0 -1
AHSKFD34 -2 -3 -2 0
SSJDHD23 0 0 0 -10
SJDDG1298 -5 0 0 0
KDJD20937 -7 -8 0 0
Work Order WO12620 9 0 0 0
WO12827 8 7 0 0
WO13743 3 7 19 0
Stock N/A 5 0 0 0
I want a running total of each month column. I've added the running total row I'm trying to create above. I haven't been able to create a running total that will give that to me.
I hope this is enough information. I'll post answers to any followup questions.
Thanks.
EDIT: I apologize for the crosstab layout. I've butchered it, and I don't know how to go about making it more readable.

Hi Rod,
Appreciate your response. Unfortunately, the solution you've posted doesn't go quite far enough.
Your function does give me the running quantity, but it creates a new column for each OrderNumber, and then sums it. I've looking for a sum of all OrderNumbers (i.e., the whole column). Each column represents a month. So it's a running total of OrderNumbers, by Month. Hope that makes sense.
I might be attempting to do something that can't be done in Discoverer. I'm just trying every suggestion I can get. I'm hoping it's something I've missed.
I'll continue to experiment with your suggestion.
Thanks.

Item Transaction History Report - Calculation for creating 'Running Total'

Hello
Using Oracle Discoverer, we have written a report that pulls back all Inventory Transactions (by item number). This report lists both transactions IN (e.g. receipts into the store) and OUT (e.g. issues out from the store).
Our customer would like an additional column, to represent 'Running Total', to be added to the report. This column needs to capture the running 'On Hand Quantity' for the associated Item, as each transaction (both transactions IN and OUT of store) is displayed.
For example, if the initial/first transaction for an item was a Receipt of 500, then this column (on the first line) should display 500. If the second transaction for the item was an issue of 15, then this column (on the second line) should display 485. If the third transaction was for an issue of 50, then this column (on the third line) should display 435. If the fourth transaction was for a receipt of 20, then this column (on the fourth line) should display 455 etc etc
I'm not sure how I'd write a calculation to cater for this (within discoverer) - do you know if this is achievable? Any help would be much appreciated. This would be easy enough to do in Excel, but I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to discoverer(!)
Many thanks
Ross

Hi,
You can generally do this type of calculation using analytic functions. You would partition by the item number and order by the transaction date in the analytic function. You can use SUM function (with an order by) to get a running total of a column in the report. You can SUM a calculation containing a CASE statement which changes the OUT transactions to a negative number. The SUM function will start at zero, so you then can use FIRST_VALUE function to get the first value for the item which you could then add to the totals.

;Thank you,

Hi,
So you know how to compute iptv for an individual row; the problem now is that you want to get a running total of iptv; is that it?
The problem there is that computing iptv requires an analytic function, and analytic functions can't be nested. To get the results of nesting f (g (x)), where f and g are analytic funtions, you have to compute g in a sub-query, and then use the results as the argument to f in a super-query.
Here's how to apply that to your situation:

You asked for NULLS in the may11_rep, may11_bld and may11_iptv columns. You can get those results if you need them; just explain the rules that govern whether to display the values and when to display NULL.
The way you posted the sample data and results, and the quantity of sample data were all excellent; it really helped me find a solution. Thanks.
It would have also helped it you had explained how iptv is computed. Basically, iptv = 1000 * rep / tbld, right?
It looks like most of this code:
,      DECODE(NVL ( SUM (may11_bld)
                  OVER (ORDER BY dis DESC)
                ,                 0),0,0,ROUND(NVL(may11_rep, 0)*1000/ NVL ( SUM (may11_bld)
                  OVER (ORDER BY dis DESC)
                ,                 0),2
                ))        AS may11_iptvwas a way of avoiding divide by 0 errors; it would have been helpful if you had explained that.

Running Total of a Calculated Member

Hi Friends ,
Need help in calculating the Running Total of a calculated member . I am using the below Query to calculate but it is not showing correct Values.
Query :

member
[Running Total]
AS
SUM({null:[FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS].[FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS].CurrentMember},[Measures].[ANNUAL UNIT CASES WEIGHTED VALUE]),
FORMAT_STRING='##0.0'
MEMBER [Measures].[AUCWV_PRCT] AS
([Running Total]/[Measures].[TotalSuM])*100,
FORMAT_STRING='##0.0'
member [CummalativePercent] as
(SUM({null:[FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS].[FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS].currentmember},[Measures].[AUCWV_PRCT]))

The CUMMALITIVEPERCENT is coming wrong .
I have mentioned the Correct CummulativePercent. as it should be the Running sum of AUCWV_PRCT i.e
49.2+31.6+27.5+3.6=111.9
Please help . where i am making the mistake
Thanks

Hi R,
It might be as simple as adding solve_order = 99 to the cumulative calc. This tells the formula engine to do the cumulative calculation after the %.

Calculations on Total column' fields(bps layout: dynamic calmonth)

hi friends,
in bps, output layout, based on dynamic calmonth i showing number of months. I want to system to calulate total(all calmonths) sum for a particular field.
Lead column    data columns
Expenses      apr2009 may 2009 june 2009.....mar2010   Total
Office             20         10        20                                       100
Usually for caculating total in layout builder 2nd screen, we chose tickmark(total) and then write c(1): c(1)   like that or simply c(1) which calculates all calmonth values.
My situation is like this, user only enter number of year(s), in terms of range. I populate calmonth field using user-exit based on year range. Next using calmonth field in layout builder as dynamic field. Now user wants TOTAL of individual years along with calmonths. How can i put this condition in layout builder?
eg:
                   apr2009 may 2009......mar2010 Total(09-10) apr2010 may 2010 ...mar2011 Total(10-11).apr2011 ..Total(11-12).
Expenses   10           20   30..............
Next question, Can i do arthemetic calculation on total fields?
eg:
Lead column     apr09 may09 ....mar10 total
A                         10      20                           100
B                          20     30                             200
c                           10    5                              ????(this value i want to calulate by above totals eg:   (200/100)* 85.
Can it possible to get that?
thanks,
kumar

It is not possible to hide or change the column width during design time if the layout is ALV.
However if the layout is used in WIB (web interface builder), I believe the column widths can be modified at run time. This would need additional coding.

Hi Sara,
Many thanks for your reply. We just brought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro complete
with Adobe Forms Central, My manager asked whether I could use the forms
part to create a summary tracking sheet for all of our contracts.
Having looked at it I could see how to create a table that in the first
column deleted costs from a starting fund, and in the last keeps a running
total of all monies spent.
I agree, Excel does seem to be much better suited to the task. I was try

Running Total and In Current Year Columns Source

Hi all,
What is the source for Running Total and In Current Year Columns from Absence Detail Screen.
From Which tables can I get the information on those columns.
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
I am still struck with Running Total Column
When i fetch running total using this query it works for some of the employees
SELECT SUM(ABSENCE_hours) from PER_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCES where person_id = <your person id> and absence_attendance_type_id = <your absence type id>
As there are three different cases here as Days,Hours and No Balance
I am missing the logic again here when it comes for no balance and days
Thanks

Design Table with no of columns used for calculating the total

Hello,
I need to design a table/s for calculating the column values based on the operators provided. Like I have a table say
TableID, Col1 , Col2 ,Col3 ... Total Value
Total Value Column is calculating Col1 (operator value provided by the user) Col 2 (operator value provided by the user) Col3 etc
Although I m thinking to create another table which stores operator values, however not sure how to calculate the total.
like it can be COl 1 +Col2 -Col3 %Col4 etc.
Please help.

Can you show some data example+ desired result?
DECLARE @t TABLE(a INT,b INT,c INT);
INSERT @t VALUES(1,2,3),(9,8,7),(4,6,5);
SELECT *
, ( SELECT COUNT(val)
FROM (VALUES (a)
, (b)
, (c)
) AS value(val)
) AS CountVal
FROM @t;

Require a formula to calc the diff between 2 running total fields in a crosstab

Post Author: PJM
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have built a crosstab in Crystal XI with the following columns:
PROFILED BUDGET (a) EXPENDITURE TO DATE (b) VARIANCE (a-b)
The profiled budget and expenditure to date columns are both running total fields. I want the variance column to show the difference between the budget and expenditure.
To set the variance field up as a running total, I assume that I would have to specify that I want this formula evaluated after the budget and expenditure fields , however, I can't work out how to do this on a crosstab.
Moving the crosstab to the report footer has had no impact.
If I try to create a basic formula using the running totals, I get the error message "A summary has been specified on a non-recurring field" - I can't find an explanation of this error message on the help menu.
Can anyone help with this please?

overtime hours are calculated after 40. If I work 12 on monday, thats 12 regulars hours. not sure about others states laws but here in wisconsin we consider overtime after 40 only, not after 8 daily. at least thats how my company calculates overtime. lets say I work 10 hours a day, monday thru thursday, thats 40 hours regular time. anything after that is overtime. our weekly work schedule starts on sunday and ends on saturday. so on my bi-weekly time log, if i work 10 hrs a day monday thru thursday, i want 10hrs each day in regular hours cell, then when i work friday and or saturday, i want those hours in overtime hours. the main problem im having is: if i reach 40 hours in the middle of a day, i want the regular of that day to end and the overtime to pick up on the same day.
here is a basic example of how i want regular and overtime to look. of course the values will be duration not just numbers. hope this helps explain what i need a bit better.

Running total of another running total ( or some other solution )

I posted in my previous thread that I would like to be able to do rounding at the subtotal level and then have a total of these subtotals. Here is the original thread:
totals in a cross tab report
So I was told that with the cross-tab report I can either do rounding at the details level or at the final total level. However, I need to be able to do the following:
Suppose I receive payments from different states. In my report I would like to be able to display:
- a total of all payments for one given state, rounded to whole dollars - this one is easy because I just create a running total for the payments and then at the end I round it to whole dollars
- a total of all payments and all states as one number. However, the problem I can't figure out here is that this grand total needs to be calculated as the SUM of the totals for each state where the total for each state is rounded to a whole dollar before being added to the grand total. So the rounding should not be done on the final grand total but rather:
1. calculate the total of payments for one state and round it to a whole dollar - let's call it StateTotal ( rounded)
2. calculate the SUM of all StateTotal values. So it needs to be a SUM of the already rounded state totals.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

hello all,
if you want to use a manual running total then that is okay. you don't actually put the manual running total in the cross-tab expert though as you will get a print time error.
you use the "Display String" formula dialogue on an existing cross-tab summary to do the manual running total in.
have a look at the attached sample...there are 2 manual running totals in there...one that goes horizontally (across the columns) and one that goes vertically (down the rows).
there is also a Xtab Info column that is there just to show you how the manual running total counter variables are incremented through the cross-tab. in crystal reports 2008 there are a lot of new cross-tab functions that are different from this but that is a completely different topic.
i hope this helps,
jamie
