Report totals with a twist

Question

Good Morning,
I have a report, that I want to display the totals in the footer of the report. The main query is below. The report breaks on the the first column. This a classic report, using APEX 3.2.1. The report works correctly, but now I want to be able to display a summary section of Funding Types and the total per that funding type. I have used the sum function on the Funding cost column, but it gives me a subtotal on the break and grand total at the end.
Main Query.
select      V.DFCY_SEQNO||' - '||V.DFCY_NAME as Deficiency,
      V.DFCY_SMY_NARR,
      V.DFCY_STATUS,
      C.DFCY_CATG,
         NULL AS FUND_TYPE,
         NULL AS RQRMT_TYPE,
         NULL AS FUNDG_FY,
         NULL AS FUNDG_COST
from     V_DFCY_BASE V, DFCY_CATG_LU C
where   V.DFCY_CATG_C = C.DFCY_CATG_C
and     V.DFCY_CATG_C = 1
and     V.DFCY_STATUS not like ('closed%')
---FUNDING
UNION
select      V.DFCY_SEQNO||' - '||V.DFCY_NAME as Deficiency,
      NULL,
      NULL,
      NULL,
         FT.FUNDG_TYPE,
         FR.FUNDG_RQRMT_TYPE,
         F.FUNDG_FY,
         F.FUNDG_COST
from     V_DFCY_BASE V,
         DFCY_CATG_FUNDG F,
         FUNDG_TYPE_LU FT,
         FUNDG_RQRMT_TYPE_LU FR
where  V.DFCY_SEQNO = F.DFCY_SEQNO
and   FT.FUNDG_TYPE_C = F.FUNDG_TYPE_C
and   FR.FUNDG_RQRMT_TYPE_C = F.FUNDG_RQRMT_TYPE_C
and   V.DFCY_CATG_C = 1
and   V.DFCY_STATUS not like ('closed%')
ORDER BY DEFICIENCYSummary query I want display in the region footer. I thought I could place this in the region footer of the report, but right now it displays the code.
  Select FT.FUNDG_TYPE, sum(nvl(FUNDG_COST,0))         
  FROM     V_DFCY_BASE V,
         DFCY_CATG_FUNDG F,
         FUNDG_TYPE_LU FT
  WHERE  V.DFCY_SEQNO = F.DFCY_SEQNO
   and   FT.FUNDG_TYPE_C = F.FUNDG_TYPE_C
   and   V.DFCY_CATG_C = 1
   and   V.DFCY_STATUS not like ('closed%')
  GROUP BY FT.FUNDG_TYPE
  ORDER BY FT.FUNDG_TYPEAny help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary

Answer 1

Bob: You need a spot of Ajax for this, take 2 pills and call me in the morning. :-)
I modified my example page to do this http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:38
Basically, add a text field, like you already did. But the trick is that changes to this field need to be saved using Ajax (because the page is not being submitted during pagination so the normal session state saving mechanism doesn't kick in).
Change the Region Footer code to the following
<script>
function save_timeout()
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=do_nothing',0);
get.add('P38_TIMEOUT',$x('P38_TIMEOUT').value);
get.get();
get = null;
function NextSlide()
  var s=document.getElementsByName('X01')[0];
  var l_this=s.selectedIndex,l_total=s.options.length;
  var l_next=((l_this+1)==l_total)?0:l_this+1;
  s.selectedIndex=l_next;
  // save the user-specified timeout
  save_timeout();
  s.onchange();
var g_timeout=$x('P38_TIMEOUT').value;
setTimeout("NextSlide()",g_timeout?g_timeout*1000:1000*10);
</script>where do_nothing; is a Application Process that does nothing (PL/SQL block with NULL;)
Hope this helps.
