How to get the sum in appropriate column without a red triangle appearing?

Hello,
In 'Numbers" - How do get columns to add (calculate) the sum in each decending column on an Expense Report.
When I highlight the decending column the total appears on the far left of the screen. When I drag the sum amount from there to the appropriate column a red triangle with an ! appears instead of the amount.
Thanks for your immediate help.

The red triangle is an Error triangle. Clicking it will display the error message and tell you what error has occurred. From your description, my assumption is that you dragged the SUM() function from the quick calculations at the lower left and dropped it intto a cell in the column being summed.
If that's the case, this is likely the error message you would see:
When you highlighted the 'decending column,' you likely selected all of the cells in that column, including the one into which you dropped the function.
Instead, do one of the following. These assume the column you want to sum is column B.
If you want the sum at the top of the column:
Make sure the row you want the sum to appear in is a Header row.
Enter this formula into any Header Row cell in column B: =SUM(B)
If you want the sum at the bottom of the column:
Add a Footer row to the table. (Go Table (menu) > Footer Rows > 1).
Enter this formula into the Footer Row cell in column B: =SUM(B)
SUM (and other functions) that expect a range of cells will interpret a cell reference entered using only the column letter (B) as meaning 'all of the non-header, non-footer cells in column B', and will exclude those cells in header or footer rows.

How to get the sum of a column in a table layout region

i have page table layout region and i have many rows in that ...i have a column say xyz now i want the sum of all xyz in all rows ...is that possible ..if it is how..????
please help me out in this issues...so that i can proceed further with my work..im stuck otu here....if the solution r there in the devguide please tell me where it is ..i mean under which section...bcoz it 1400page document...

If you are mentioning about table/advanced table region you can enable totalling in those regions. Please check the Table / Advanced Table section as appropriate in Chapter 4 of the dev guide.
If it is not a table / advancedTable then you will have to programmatically total the column value and display it in the appropriate cell.

How do you get the sum of two columns multipied together?

I can't seem to figure out how to get the sum of two columns multiplied together without having to manually type out each location (example: A1*B1+A2*B2+A3*B3, etc..). Though the idea seems to be rather simple, everything I have tried has only given me an error. I know there must be an easier way of doing this, but I get lost in the explanations given in 'help' area of numbers, can someone help me?

C3=SUMPRODUCT(A3:A18, B3:B18)
the function SUMPRODUCT() takes ranges and multiplies corresponding cells in the ranges, then adds them together.
I the case I show SUMPRODUCT() performs:
A3*B3 + A4*B4 + A5*B5 + A6*B6 + ... + A18*B18
If you want to perform the same operation on the whole column (s) you could modify the formula:
C3=SUMPRODUCT(A, B)

How to find the sum of a column

I need to find the sum of a column and use it in a different column. The following is the example.
Column names: Feedback(Good, Avg, Poor), Count(no of good, no of avg, no of poor) and %age(Feedback/sum(feedback))
I want to find the sum in Java class and also calculate the last column in java class.
Please tell me some way to do it.

oh.. ok ..thanks for letting me know.. i will formulate the question in a proper way:
This is what my UI should look like:
Rating Count Percent
Excellent 2 20
Good 6 60
Poor 1 10
Bad 1 10
Now i have the following columns in the data base:
Meaning and feedback_rating.
So the following SQL Query:
SELECT hrl.meaning rating,
sum(decode(bcpi.feedback_rating, null, 0, 1)) counted
from cmp_cwb_person_info bcpi ,
hr_lookups hrl
group by hrl.meaning
will give me the result as
rating counted
Excellent 2
Good 6
Poor 1
Bad 1
Now I want a third column as percentage : Earlier we were doing this calculation in the sql query itself, so the query was like
SELECT hrl.meaning rating,
sum(decode(bcpi.feedback_rating, null, 0, 1)) counted,
sum(decode(bcpi.feedback_rating, null, 0, 1))/(max (select count (*) from cmp_cwb_person_info bcpi ,
hr_lookups hrl )) percent
from cmp_cwb_person_info bcpi ,
hr_lookups hrl
group by hrl.meaning
Hence the third column (percent) was calculated in the sql query itself.
But now i feel that the performance of the query could be improved if we get the first two columns from the database and the calculate the third column programatically in the java code.
So this is what I want to know. How can i do that?

I can't get the Sum of a Column

I was hoping someone would be able to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong on a form that I'm unable to get a SUM of a column for? I'm new to LiveCycle Designer and have poured over all that I can find on the internet to figure this out but it's been 10+ hours and I'm no closer now then when I started. Specifically, I added a table to a form that has a multiplication formula set up in each of the ROWs (item * cost = total kind of scenario). These formula's work and give me the the $ amount in the last column titled "total." The problem is I can't figure out how to get a sum of the totals for the "grandtotal" cell at the bottom? Each formula I've tried gives me a warning that "total[*] is unknown" so it makes me think I have my cell menu's set up incorrectly since it's not registering it the $ amount in my "total" cells? This is work project and I'm at a stopping point until I can figure this out so any help is gratefully appreciated. Donna
Table/Row/Column Info:
My table is: table 3
My row is: cell1 (all are called cell1)
My column is total1 (I've changed these to total 1, total2, total3, etc in my efforts to troubleshoot)
FormCalc entries that I've tried:
Sum(total[*])
Sum(total[*]).amount[*])
$ = Sum(total1.amount + total1.amount + total3.amount)
Sum(table3.cell[*].total[*])

HI,
It appears you've phyically created 3 indivdual rows (correct me if I'm mistaken), so if that's the case...you can simply capature the GrandTotal by adding the fields using by their respective names. Thus, the GrandTotal script would be: $ = Sum(total1+toal2+total3). Im not sure why you're using ".amount".
[*] is used when you have repeating subforms. So, say you started out with a single row (Row1) with the following fields: Qty, UnitCost, Total... where Total (field in last column) had the follwoing script: $ = Qty * UnitCost
If your form was "dynamic" and used an Add Row button, then you would only have to create one row and enable your user to "Add" additional rows, as needed. As a result, you would need to use an array [*] to find all instances of Total on each row.
In that case, your script for GrandTotal would look like this: $ = Sum(Page1.Items.Row1[*].Total). Note: Page1.Items is the absoulte location for Row1 on my form, so this would change for you.
Going back to my previous comment, since your form doesn't appear to use an Add row button, you shoudl be able to add the fields names quite easily.
Lastly, as an FYI, you shouldn't need a [*] after total in......Sum(table3.cell[*].total[*])
Let me know if this helps!
Thanks

How to get the difference between two columns in a column group

Hi All,
My first time here and really new to programming. I would like to get the difference between 2 columns that are inside
a column group.
Here is my sample table below: The Column Group is PeriodNumber and can only choose 2. like 1 and 2.. I would like to have a third row which will simply calculate the difference between the amounts in PeriodNumber 1 and 2.
PeriodNumber
Account 1 2
1) Cash 10,000 15,000
2) Receivables 12,000 11,500
3) Equipment 5,000 5,500
Total Assets 27,000 32,000

Hi yabgestopa,
From your description, you want to get the difference between two columns in a column group. After testing it in my environment, we can use custom code to achieve your requirement. For more details, you can refer to the following steps:
Copy the custom code below and paste it to your report. (Right-click report>Report Properties>Code)
Dim Shared Num1 As Integer
Dim shared Num2 As Integer
Public Function GetAmount(Amount as Integer, Type as String)
If Type = "1" Then
Num1=Amount
Else
Num2=Amount
End If
Return Amount
End Function
Public Function GetDif()
Return Num1-Num2
End function
Right-click the second column to insert a third column with Outside Group-Right.
Then use the expressions below in the matrix.
=Code.GetAmount(Fields!Amount.Value,Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=code.GetAmount(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value),Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=Code.GetDif()
The report looks like below.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to get the values in separate columns

Hello Everyone
I am new to Bex, i have the sales data of 2008,2009,2010. now i have to display the sales order(key figure) for 2008,2009,2010 in separate columns for each customer(dimension) in a single report , can any one help me how to get this done in bex.
Thanks
Gupta

Hi ,
You can achieve this either creating New Selections or Restricted Key Figures.
Right click on the structute>>>> New selcection>>> drag the year to right [ Right Click on it >>restrict it with 2008}>>>Drag the respected Key figure.
So u will get the values 2008 in seperate column.
COpy the New Selecten that u created and paste on the structure , chage the descriprion and year to 2009.
do the same for 2010.
Note:you can also achieve this by creating variable offsets.Check the following link

SSRS report with tabular model – MDX query how to get the sum and count of measure and dimension respectively.

Hello everyone,
I am using the following MDX query on one of my SSRS report.
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Days Outstanding], [Measures].[Amt] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS) }
HAVING [Measures].[ Days Outstanding] > 60
DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS
FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@Location, CONSTRAINED)) ON COLUMNS
FROM ( SELECT ( {[Date].[Fiscal Period].&[2014-06]}) ON COLUMNS
FROM [Model]))
Over here, the data is being filtered always for current month and for a location that is being selected by user from a report selection parameter.
I would like to get the count of total no. of customers and sum of the amount measure.
When I am using them in calculated members it gives incorrect values. It considers all records (ignores the sub-select statements) instead of only the records of current month and selected location.
I also tried with EXISTING keyword in calculated members but there is not difference in output. Finally, I manage the same at SSRS level.
Can anybody please advise what are the ways to get the required sum of [Measures].[Amt] and count of [Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS dimension?
Also, does it make any difference if I manage it as SSRS level and not at MDX query level?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ankit,
We can use SUM function and COUNT function to sum of [Measures].[Amt] and count of [Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS dimension. Here is a sample query for you reference.
WITH MEMBER [measures].[SumValue] AS
SUM([Customer].[Customer].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
MEMBER [measures].[CountValue] AS
COUNT([Customer].[Customer].ALLMEMBERS)
MEMBER [Measures].[DimensionName] AS [Customer].NAME
SELECT {[Measures].[DimensionName],[measures].[SumValue],[measures].[CountValue]} ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
Besides, you ask that does it make any difference if I manage it as SSRS level and not at MDX query level. I don't thinks it will make much difference. The total time to generate a reporting server report (RDL) can be divided into 3 elements:Time to retrieve
the data (TimeDataRetrieval);Time to process the report (TimeProcessing);Time to render the report (TimeRendering). If you manage it on MDX query level, then the TimeDataRetrieval might a little longer. If you manage it on report level, then the TimeProcessing
or TimeRendering time might a little longer. You can test it on you report with following query:
SELECT Itempath, TimeStart,TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering, ByteCount, [RowCount],Source
FROM ExecutionLog3
WHERE itempath like '%reportname'

Is there a way to find out how to get the index of a column?

Hello,
I want to know the index of a column for example the column at the first position in a jtable is 0 so how can i get this index?
for example: the column called "surname" is index 0 but the user can move the column. So the name stays the same but the index of the column changed. I search for a method like
table.getColumnIndex("surname");

I think it really depends on what the OP is trying to do. I think the program
below offers up the possible choices pretty well.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableColumnIndexDemo extends JFrame {
     private JTable table;
     private String[] names = new String[]{ "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five" };

               public void run() { new TableColumnIndexDemo(); }
     public TableColumnIndexDemo() {
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel( names, 1 );
          table = new JTable( model );
          JButton button = new JButton( "Print indices" );
          button.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {

How to get the SUM of tabular text elements ??

Hello,
I've build a query report with tabular text elements (used htmldb_item.text() to create the tabular text elements in the query). However, I wish to have the report sum all the text elements for each column. I tried by enabling the "Sum" option for the respective columns but the sum is being dispalyed as "0".
Is there anyway we can achieve this.
TIA,
Seshu MGRaman

Seshu,
By calling the htmldb_item.text procedure, your column is not longer numeric, instead it includes all the HTML needed to render the form field. Instead of using the htmdb_item API, write a plain SQL statement selecting only the columns like select ename, sal from emp and then change the display type of the column you want to build a sum on to text. You can change the display type on the report column attributes page.

Marc
