Displaying Summary labels

Question

Hi All,
Is it possible in discoverer plus to display the summary label in column other then the one where the Totals is calculated?
for eg:
Here the subttotal on sal column is calculated for every department. I want to display the label "Total for Dept" under Emp name coulmn instead of salary column.
============================
Dept | Emp Name | Sal
1 | abc | 5000
| def | 1000
| Total for Dept1: | 6000
2 | fff | 5500
| sws | 1000
| Total for Dept2: | 6500
Thanks & Rgds,
Shruti..

Hi Shruti,
Don't think we can show the totals in columns other than the one where actual data exsists. What you can do as a workaround is create a view in the database using UNION Clause to have the data formatted acc to your requirements. Later you can import the View in Business Area and pull up a report in Disco Plus using this View.
CREATE OR REPLACE TEST_VIEW AS
SELECT dept, emp_name, sal from my_table
UNION
(Ur Total Query)
Gd Luck !

PS: You might have to format the View to have department wise sub-totals
