Grouping by 2 columns. Please see

Question

Hi,
I am using Reports 9I.
I need to use two group by's :
Table:
TRANS_ID   ACC_ID DEL        CCY        AMT TRADE_DAT LENDER
LEL0002045 SLEND  RECEIVE    GBP       1200 02-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002053 SLEND  DELIVER    GBP       1000 02-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002100 SLEND  DELIVER    USD        500 02-AUG-05 LENDERB
LEL0002000 SLEND  DELIVER    KRN       1000 03-AUG-05 LENDERC
LEL0002002 SLEND  DELIVER    KRN       1000 03-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002001 SLEND  DELIVER    GBP       1000 03-AUG-05 LENDERA
REPORT
LEL0002045 SLEND  RECEIVE    GBP       1200 02-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002053 SLEND  DELIVER    GBP       1000 02-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002001 SLEND  DELIVER    GBP       1000 03-AUG-05 LENDERA
LEL0002002 SLEND  DELIVER    KRN       1000 03-AUG-05 LENDERA
                  RECEIVE    GBP       1200
                  DELIVER    GBP       2000
                  DELIVER    KRN       1000The break is on DEL and then on the CCY (ie currency).
I am using the flwg SQL Query in my report:
SELECT trans_id,
        acc_id,
        decode(DEL,'RECEIVE', AMT,0) as REC_AMT,
        decode(DEL,'DELIVER', AMT,0) as DEL_AMT,
        ccy,
        amt,
        trade_date,
        lender
FROM    TableAand using SUMMARY cols to sum the AMT for column DEL
But now,i need to sum also on column CCY.How do I sum AMT first on col DEL
and then on col CCY?
Is my SQL query proper? Any suggestions to modify this ?

Answer 1

You provided following format:
ccy    transid    accId  rec      Amt
lenderA
GBP    LEL001     SLEND  RECEIVE  1000
GBP    LEL002     SLEND  RECEIVE  1200
GBP    LEL003     SLEND  DELIVER  1000
USD    LEL004     SLEND  RECEIVE  1000
                  RECEIVE GBP     3000
                  DELIVER USD     1000
BUT, I THINK YOU WANTED IN THIS FORMAT
GBP    LEL001     SLEND  RECEIVE  1000
GBP    LEL002     SLEND  RECEIVE  1200
GBP    LEL003     SLEND  DELIVER  1000
USD    LEL004     SLEND  RECEIVE  1000
RECEIVE GBP 2200
DELIVER GPB 1000
RECEIVE USD 1000
If i am right, then you need two groups, one on LENDER and other rest of the column, lets say it 'DETAIL'.
Create 4 formula columns in detail group
First Formula Column:
if :del = 'RECEIVE' and ccy = 'GPB'  then
   return(:amt);
else
   return(0);
end if;
Second Formula Column:
if :del = 'RECEIVE' and ccy = 'USD'  then
   return(:amt);
else
   return(0);
end if;
Third Formula Column:
if :del = 'DELIVER' and ccy = 'GPB'  then
   return(:amt);
else
   return(0);
end if;
Fourth Formula Column:
if :del = 'DELIVER' and ccy = 'USD'  then
   return(:amt);
else
   return(0);
end if;
Create four summary column in LENDER group based on these formula columns and reset at LENDER.
Put these summary column in repeating frame of LENDER.
This will work if you are only dealing with 'USD' and GBP'
