Running Total in forms 4.5

Hi,
I have a forms 4.5 with a master and detail block.
The detail block displays 15 record at a time. There is a column in the detail field whose total is to be displayed at the bottom.
I am using post-query to sum this item and display it at the bottom.
The solution works fine fine if the detail block has 15 or less records and the running total is displayed correctly.
But If I query a master records where there are 20 detail records then the total sum at the bottom only show sum of the 15 detail records that are displayed and not 20.
For that I have to navigate to record 15, key next , 16 and so on then the post-query trigger fires and add the rest of the records and displays the correct total.
I have tried to change the record buffered/fetched in the detail block query but it does not help.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem in forms 4.5?
Thanks
Jakh

Try Last_record instead of next_record.
Any other suggestion is that.
You must have a primary key and foreign key in your master detail form. Then why dont you write a select statement on POST-QUERY:
You have a master block (master) having columns invoice_id, date, cust_id and have a detailed block (detail) having columns invoice_id (using as foreign key from master table block) and item_id, item_description, quantity, amount
Write query on POST-QUERY on detail block as
select sum(amount) into :control_block.total from detail where detail.invoice_id = :master.invoice_id
or select sum(amount) into :control_block.total from detail where detail.invoice_id = :detail1.invoice_id;
it should give you the required result. I have used it and its working fine for me.
Thanks.

What is your Forms version? Are you manually performing the calculation or are you using a Text Item with Calculation Mode property set to Summary or Formula? If Formula, please show us your code?

Hi,
(1) Add a control item to your form, e.g. RUNNING_TOTAL.
(2) Set the property 'Calculation Mode' for this item to 'Formula'.
(3) Set the property 'Formula' for this item to 'CALC_RUNNING_TOTAL;'
(4) Add a program unit 'CALC_RUNNING_TOTAL' to your form.
In this program unit you can use the SQL-query to retrieve you running total. Make use of the system variables :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD and the same ORDER BY and WHERE clause as you have in your :SYSTEM.CURRENT_BLOCK.
Better is not to use the SQL-query, but make a loop (use Forms built-ins FIRST_RECORD, NEXT_RECORD and LAST_RECORD) and calculate the running total in that way.

How can implement running total in oracle forms

I want to implement a running total in oracle form
like
100 100
300 400
200 600
500 1100
200 1300
100 1400
PROCEDURE calculate_srno IS
current_rownum     integer:=:System.Cursor_Record;
starting_srno integer:=:rs_1;
last_rownum integer;
BEGIN
     last_record;
     last_rownum:=:system.cursor_record;
     go_record(1);
     FOR counter IN 1..last_rownum LOOP
          :sum_1:=:rs_1;
          :rs_1:=:sum_1+:rs_1;
     --     :offered_srno_to:=starting_srno;
          if last_rownum=:System.Cursor_Record then exit;
          end if;
     END LOOP;
END;
it is not working after want to insert between in the table

Why write code for this? Oracle Forms 10g has Calculated/Summary fields that will do this for you without the need of writing any PL/SQL.
Simply add a non-table item to the data block with the item you want to keep the running total for. Then change the following properties of the item:
Data Type: Number
Calculation Mode: Summary
Summary Function: Sum
Summarized Block: <Your Data Block>
Summarized Item: <Your Block Item>
Number of Items Displayed: 1 (if your item is in a Multi-Record (Tabular) layout else you don't need to change this property.
You will also need to change the following property of the block: Query All Records: Yes
If changing the Block's "Query All Records" property causes your form to be too slow because of the number of records in your block, then you could keep a running total manually by using a combination of the Post-Query and When-Validate-Item (WVI) triggers. If your block does not allow data entry, then you could do this with just the Post-Query trigger. For example:
BEGIN
/* This code sample assumes you have added a non-table item */
/* to your block called SUMMARY. */
:YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END;If your block allows data entry, then you would add the following to your existing WVI trigger.
BEGIN
/* Perform your data entry validation logic first... */
IF ....
ELSE
    ...Validation is successful...
    :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END IF;
END;Hope this helps.

Form 6i: filtering data on a running total

I need to create a column in a group to represent a running total. But I want that running total to only sum rows that meet specific criteria, such as (:m_form.cost) <> 0. How can I accomplish this?
Thank's in advance!
[email protected]

se deben crear dos campos nuevos en el bloque, uno que te calcule el valor deseado determinado por las condiciones dadas, este campo debe tener el pl/sql necesario para determinar el valor, en la seccion calculation-->formula (property palete) (ej. if <condicion> then :campo_x * 1 else :campo_x * 0 end if;). y otro campo que sumarice al anterior, teniendo este "sum" en la seccion summary Function, y el campo anterior en summarized item. Si no me entiendes o esa no era tu pregunta devuelveme y te la escribo en ingles.

Hi Sara,
Many thanks for your reply. We just brought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro complete
with Adobe Forms Central, My manager asked whether I could use the forms
part to create a summary tracking sheet for all of our contracts.
Having looked at it I could see how to create a table that in the first
column deleted costs from a starting fund, and in the last keeps a running
total of all monies spent.
I agree, Excel does seem to be much better suited to the task. I was try

Totalling in forms

Hi All,
I have a problem with my total field in my form.
the detail block has rebate_amount field where I need to enter the rebate amount and it is multi line.
Once I enter the rebate amount there is a total field in the main block, I t has to be updated with the total amount.
I was able to sum it up.....but the problem is if I enter 1 00 with a space in between its going to an infinite loop and i have to close the whole application.Is there a better way to do this summing?
Please find the attached screenshot and code.
Thanks,
Satish
begin
     :XX_AP_RR_HDR.TOTAL := 0;
     first_record;
     loop
     :XX_AP_RR_HDR.TOTAL := nvl(:XX_AP_RR_HDR.TOTAL,0) + :XX_AP_RR_DTLS.REBATE_AMOUNT;
     if ( :system.last_record = 'TRUE' ) then
     exit;
     else
     next_record;
     end if;
     end loop;
     next_item;
end;

Satish,
What version of Forms are you using? Forms version 5 introduced calculated fields where Forms will perform many calculations for you such as; AVG, SUM, COUNT, etc. Also, is your TEXT_ITEM datatype CHAR or NUMBER? If it is NUMBER - you shouldn't be allowed to enter a non-numeric value such as "1 00". I suggest you add a format mask on the field to prevent a user from entering an invalid number.
Also, are you looping through your multiline block each time a value is enter or are you forcing the user to click a button or other event type trigger to update the total? Either way, a more efficient way would be to keep a running total. This would require you to keep track of the previous value of the field - in case the user enters a value smaller than what was there - but this can be easily achieved with a When-New-Item-Instance (WNII) trigger where you set the value of a parameter, global variable or Forms Package variable. For example:
:parameter.prev_value := :XX_AP_RR_DTLS.REBATE_AMOUNT;Then in your When-Validate-Item (WVI) you simply check the PREV_VALUE against the current value and add or subtract. For example:
BEGIN
   IF :parameter.prev_value < :XX_AP_RR_DTLS.REBATE_AMOUNT THEN
      :XX_AP_RR_HDR.TOTAL := nvl(:XX_AP_RR_HDR.TOTAL,0) - :XX_AP_RR_DTLS.REBATE_AMOUNT;
ELSE
      :XX_AP_RR_HDR.TOTAL := nvl(:XX_AP_RR_HDR.TOTAL,0) + :XX_AP_RR_DTLS.REBATE_AMOUNT;
END IF;
END;Hope this helps.

Item Transaction History Report - Calculation for creating 'Running Total'

Hello
Using Oracle Discoverer, we have written a report that pulls back all Inventory Transactions (by item number). This report lists both transactions IN (e.g. receipts into the store) and OUT (e.g. issues out from the store).
Our customer would like an additional column, to represent 'Running Total', to be added to the report. This column needs to capture the running 'On Hand Quantity' for the associated Item, as each transaction (both transactions IN and OUT of store) is displayed.
For example, if the initial/first transaction for an item was a Receipt of 500, then this column (on the first line) should display 500. If the second transaction for the item was an issue of 15, then this column (on the second line) should display 485. If the third transaction was for an issue of 50, then this column (on the third line) should display 435. If the fourth transaction was for a receipt of 20, then this column (on the fourth line) should display 455 etc etc
I'm not sure how I'd write a calculation to cater for this (within discoverer) - do you know if this is achievable? Any help would be much appreciated. This would be easy enough to do in Excel, but I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to discoverer(!)
Many thanks
Ross

Hi,
You can generally do this type of calculation using analytic functions. You would partition by the item number and order by the transaction date in the analytic function. You can use SUM function (with an order by) to get a running total of a column in the report. You can SUM a calculation containing a CASE statement which changes the OUT transactions to a negative number. The SUM function will start at zero, so you then can use FIRST_VALUE function to get the first value for the item which you could then add to the totals.

XML 5.6.1 Running Total

Hi
I am new this XML Publisher. We are working on using BPA/XML Publisher to print the AR Invoice. I have two questions
1. How to print the values of subtotal, tax and Invoice Total in only last page
2. How to print the Running total of extend amount at the end of the each page. This Running total need to be printted once in a Page.
Thanks

Have you placed it outside your group, you just place it at the bottom end of your template and put a group around your sum total.
Then it it will only be printed on your last page.
you need a for tag
ex. <?for-eachG_TAX?>
Then the sum
ex. <?sum(current-group()//VAT)?>
Then the end tag
ex. <?end for-each?>

Running total in report footer returning inaccurate result

CA Forum: Formula
I am writing a report that contains 3 groups. I have created running totals for each group that are accurate by selecting the group to evaluate and reset on. now I need to basically sum the results of the all the group running totals but have had no success. any tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Were you doing a Distinct Count? Did you have a formula on the Running Total? What is there about the Group Totals that make them different than the final total.

How do I use a running total within a selection formula?

I am developing a report within Crystal Reports 2008. My goal is to identify any accounts that have zero usage for at least six months in this current year. I have account number, meter size, read date, usage, and a running total/subtotal by account.
Here is what the data looks like in the report

My report shows all accounts that have zero usage. I want to filter the report to only show the accounts that have at least six zero usage reads. I thought I could add a running total, sum it, and filter the data by using the selection formulas. Unfortunately I keep getting an error message saying "this field cannot be used becuase it is being evaluated later." Any help would be appreciated. This is the first report I have created using crystal.

You could Conditionally suppress the account numbers where your running total is less than 6
You will probably have to put your account number summaries in the group footer, instead of the header.
Then:
go to the section expert, click on the group footer for the account number, on the right, next to the word "Suppress" click on the box that says "X-2". In the formula put
IF<6 then True
Save and close
The only way this would not work for you is if you have some sort of grand total that you don't want to include the other groups in.
