GroupFilter and sum(); filtered records should not be included in the sum()

Question

Hi All,
I am working on a report that has the following requirement.
1. Query records from the database (multiple queries)
2. Filter records based on a certain criteria.
3. Sum() the rows.
4. Cannot use where clause because of the complexity of the report.
I have achieved the above requirement using data-template with one exception where my sum() is including all the filtered rows in the summation. I DO NOT want the filtered rows to be included in the sum(). I know I could do sum() in layout-template using xslt.
Is there a way to do this in data-template?
My data-template looks something like
<group name="g_dept" source="q_dept">
    <element name="dname" value="dname"/>
    <element name="d_salary" value="g_emp.salary" function="sum()"/>
    <group name="g_emp" source="q_emp" groupFilter="filterEmployees(:empno)">
       <element name="ename" value="ename"/>
       <element name="empno" value="empno"/>
       <element name="salary" value="salary"/>
    </group>
</group>
My data looks like
10    Scott1    7865    $100
10    Scott2    6875    $200
10    Scott3    5678    $300
10    Scott4    8657    $500 <-- filtered with pl/sql package
My output should look like
Dept: 10
Scott1    7865    $100
Scott2    6875    $200
Scott3    5678    $300
Total for 10: $600
instead my output looks like
Total for 10: $1100 <-- including filtered row Steve.
Is this a feature or a bug in the data-template? not sure the order of events querying, filtering & summation. If anyone could answer, I really appreciate it.
Thanks

Answer 1

Was there ever an answer the original question with the groupfilter and sum()?
I have a GL Report (bi pub 5.6.3 with ebusiness suite 11.5.10.2) that uses the oracle.apps.fnd.flex.kff.select (with security as the output type). In my lowest group (lines) i have a group filter that eliminates the row if the security is Y (to eliminate it from the XML and report). However, the sums that I'm doing are including all rows, not just the ones included in the data file.
I too have the same issue as Kalagara, where I can't use the where clause to exclude the rows.
