Splitting up sum function into 2 columns

There are only 2 possible values for t1_type (1 or 2)
create table t1 (id number, t1_type number, amount number);
insert into t1 values (1,1,5);
insert into t1 values (1,1,10);
insert into t1 values (1,2,35);
insert into t1 values (1,2,20);
insert into t1 values (2,1,5);
insert into t1 values (2,1,10);
insert into t1 values (2,2,35);
insert into t1 values (2,2,20);
for each id I require an sql statement to return exactly one row with 3 columns,
id, sum(amount) /*for t1_type 1*/,sum(amount)/*for t1_type 2*/
Desired output from above data would be:
1,15,55
2,15,55
Thanks
Sam.

Is this you wanted?
sql>
select id,sum(decode(type,1,amt,0)) sum_type1,sum(decode(type,2,amt,0)) sum_type2
from t1
group by id;
ID SUM_TYPE1 SUM_TYPE2
1 15 55
2 15 55

How to get sum of highlighted column values.

Is there currently any functionality that allows you to highlight a certain number of column values in the returned result set and to see the sum of the values highlighted.

Hi,
Not directly, sorry.
You could always try highlighting the desired cells, copy/paste them into a column in a spreadsheet like MS Excel or Open Office Calc, then add a sum function into a nearby open cell. The spreadsheet can be added to SQL Developer's Tools|External Tools menu for convenience.

Help with SUM function ??

Hi,
I am trying to build a SUM function into the following SELECT statement;
SELECT emp_code "EmployeeCode", trn_date "TransactionDate", project "ProjectCode",
phase_code "PhaseCode", task_code "TaskCode", reg_hrs "RegularHoursAmt", rate_reg "RegularHoursRate", ot_hrs "OvertimeHoursAmt", rate_ot "OvertimeHoursRate"
Currently when i do the extract to xls I manually compile the "RegularHoursAmt" and "RegularHoursRate" manually and it's quite a task. I'm sure it can be completed in teh SELECT but I'm not clear on how and it's been quite some time since my last foray into SQL. Any assistance appreciated.
I need to sum "RegularHoursAmt" and "RegularHoursRate"
per "EmployeeCode"
by "TransactionDate"
with unique combo of "ProjectCode", "PhaseCode", "TaskCode"
Cheers, Peter

Hi, Peter,

Thanks Frank for the quick response. Ok, here goes;
The TABLES already exist and I am only pulling the data for the columns in my SELECT statement so no CREATE of INSERT as such.Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
The data is in Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0Perfect!
So you want totals that represent the entire day for a given employee.
Yes, but rows are by the unique combo per employee of "ProjectCode", "PhaseCode", "TaskCode"So a row of output will represent a distinct combination of employee, day, ProjectCode, PhaseCode and TaskCode, and that one output row may correspond to more than one row of input; is that right?
eg Tom works on 4 unique "ProjectCode/PhaseCode/TaskCode" efforts on "TransactionDate"What does "effort" mean here? If I could look at some actaul data (or actual fake data; don't post anything like real credit card numbers) and the results you want from that data, perhaps it would be clear.
One of those unique "ProjectCode/PhaseCode/TaskCode" efforts however has 3 timesheet entries as he has added unique Descriptions of what his efforts were aimed at achieving.
We are not extracting the Descriptions and thereby want to SUM those 3 timesheet entries into one row.
Do you also want a total for each employee, over all days? No thanks
Do you want a grand total for all employees and all days? No thanks
Do you want the totals on the same output rows as your current reuslts? That would be handy
If so, use the analytic SUM function. I'm not familiar with this
Do you want separate rows for the the totals? That could helpPost the exact results you want from a small set of given data. It's fine to describe the results, as you did above, but describe them in addition to (not instead of) actually showing them.
Does that make my questions easier to follow?It looks good, but without some sample data and the results you want from that data, I can't say for sure.
Please post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements (relevant columns only) for a little sample data, so that I (and the others who want to help you) can see exactly what your tables are like, and actually try our solutions. Simplify as much as possible. For example, if the data is actually coming from a multi-table join, but you already know how to join all the tables perfectly, then pretend all the data is in one table, and post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for that one table that looks sort of like your current result set. Post just enough data to show what you want to do. Based on what you've said so far, I'm guessing that 10 to 20 rows of raw data, resulting in 3 to 7 rows of output could give a nice example.
Also, post the exact results you want from the sample data you post. Explain, with specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
If parts of your desired output are optional (that is, if some parts "would be handy" or "could help") then post a couple of different sets of results from the same data, and explain, something like this:
"What I'd really love to get for results is" ...
but, if that makes things really complicated or inefficient, I don't absolutely need ... or ...,
so I'd settle for these results: ..."
I know it's a lot of work to post all this information, but it's really necessary. If I could help you without making you do all this, then I would. Unfortunately, I really don't have a good idea of where you're coming from or where you want to go.

Split Delimiters into Columns

Hi,
I am using database version 11.2.1 and have a function that returns a delimited value.
For example:
Value returned:
'1012, User1, Raleigh Close'
Is it possible to split this delimited value into 3 columns, this split would be required in the same query that returns the function value, for example:
select return_value(ID), regexp_substr(..........)
from test
where ......
Required Output:
'1012, User1, Raleigh Close', 1012, User1, Raleigh Close
Can anyone suggest the best way?
Thanks

You do not need a Regexp for such trivial patterns. They tend to consume more CPU as against the Pure SQL counterparts viz. SUBSTR and INSTR. And pure SQL functions do tend to perform better when you deal with huge amount of data. Hence, my choice would stay with SUBSTR and INSTR for such requirements.
with data as
select '1012, User1, Raleigh Close' col from dual
select col, substr(col, 1, instr(col, ',') - 1) col1,
       substr(col, instr(col, ',') + 1, instr(col, ',', 1, 2) - instr(col, ',') - 1) col2,
       substr(col, substr(col, instr(col, ',', 1, 2) + 1)) col3
from data;
COL                        COL1                       COL2                       COL3
1012, User1, Raleigh Close 1012                        User1                     Raleigh Close Edited by: Purvesh K on Mar 26, 2013 4:09 PM
Modified INSTR for COL3; Perhaps over-thought on it a bit.

How can I sum up raws? the sum function seems to work for columns only and right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

How can I sum up raws? the Sum function seems to work only on columns. Right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

Hi dah,
"Thanks, but can I do one formula for all present and future raws? as raws are being added, I have to do the sum function again and again"
You do need a separate formula for each group of values to be summed.
If the values are in columns, you need a copy of the formula for each column.
If the values are in rows, you need a copy of the formula for for each row.
If you set up your formulas as SGIII did in his example (shown below), where every non-header row has the same formula, Numbers will automtically add the formula to new rows as you add them.
"Same formula" in this context means exactly the same as all the formulas above, with one exception: the row reference in each formula is incremented (by Numbers) to match the row containing the formula.
Here the formula looks like this in the three rows shown.
B2: =SUM(2)
B3: =SUM(3)
B4: =SUM(4)
That pattern will continue as rows are added to the table.
Also, because the row token (2) references all of the non-header cells in row 2, the formula will automatically include new columns as they are added to the table.
Regards,
Barry

Pages (iWork 06) won't split cells into columns past a certain number...

I'm trying to split a number of cells into columns (only one column of cells selected at a time). It worked fine with 5 out of the 15 columns that I have, but now when I highlight a column's worth of cells and right click "split into columns" is grayed out. Why?
I changed the page size and made it huge in case that was limiting the overall table dimensions or anything like that, but it's still not working. Thanks!

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

Calculating sum of column using Groovy Sum Function

Dear All,
We are using jdeveloper 11.1.1.2.0
I have to find the sum of a column salary in a vo.
For this i created a transient attribute in the vo, and set its value to VesselVO2.sum("salary").
And I am getting the sum of all the rows in the table successfully.
My issue is ,I have a view criteria in the vo. When I apply the view criteria I want the sum of the result rowset, but instead I am still getting the sum of all the rows in the table.
What could be the issue?
I have set the updatable property of the attribute to always.
The vo is a read only vo.
Please advice,
Susan

Why does the sum function not work when I try to add a column of decimal numbers? The value is always returned as 0. No problem with whole numbers but decimals do not work!

just bought a MacBook Air and using Numbers to make a spreadsheet for financial purposes. The sum function is working ok for whole numbers but when I try to sum a column of 2 decimal place numbers the result always comes back as 0. Can anyone help?

Hi laura,
I suspect that your 2 decimal place numbers are formatted as text. Change the format of the column to currency and see it that works.

Sum function on a column

Hi,
I created a report with few columns and one cash column where I gave the function as sum. when I dont do a sum for that column there are four rows coming up. Three rows for 'income' and one row for 'Principal'. The value for principal is coming correct when I tally with the sql query. But when I add the function sum to that column the 'income' total is summing up correct but for some reason the 'principal' amount is not showin the value that it showed when I did not add the sum function. It is showing a different value. I am not sure what's happening here. Any advices please.

Hi Sandeep,
I am not selecting any columns from fact table. I am just selecting columns from two dimesion tables. One dimension table has Account number, date and meaning. The other dimension table has cash column. When i pull these columns and run it gives correct values. For example for one account number we have two meanings income and principal. For that account number we have three values for income and one value for principal. When I run the query it is running good. But when I goto Critera and say edit formula on cash and put function as sum and then run the report it is not giving me the principal value correct. The sum of incomes are coming correct. The principal value was 2781.32 and after addig sum function it gives me 119596.76. Not sure why?

Summing up a Column in ALV report

Hi All,
I have developed an ALV Report which will display Invoices and other details.
Now i need to display the sum of NETWR column, if user wish to select that column and click the "SUM" icon.
As of now, if i select the NETWR column and click 'SUM" column, i am getting Runtime error.
How to resolve this issue?
Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
ALV GRID CONTROL:
This task is performed by the SAP Control Framework.
The R/3 System allows you to create custom controls using ABAP Objects. The application server is the Automation Client, which drives the custom controls (automation server) at the front end.
If custom controls are to be included on the frontend, then the SAPGUI acts as a container for them.
Custom controls can be ActiveX Controls or JavaBeans.
The system has to use a Remote Function Call (RFC) to transfer methods for creating and using a control to the front end.
ABAP objects are used to implement the controls in programs.
An SAP Container can contain other controls (for example, SAP ALV Grid Control, Tree Control, SAP Picture Control, SAP Splitter Control, and so on). It administers these controls logically in one collection and provides a physical area for the display.
Every control exists in a container. Since containers are themselves controls, they can be nested within one another. The container becomes the parent of its control. SAP containers are divided into five groups:
SAP custom container: Displays within an area defined in Screen Painter on screens or sub screens.
Class: CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER
SAP dialog box container: Displays in a modeless dialog box or as a full screen. Class:
CL_GUI_DIALOGBOX_CONTAINER
SAP docking container: Displays as docked, resizable sub-window with the option of displaying it as a modeless dialog box. Class: CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER
SAP splitter container: Displays and groups several controls in one area - that is, splits the area into cells Class: CL_GUI_SPLITTER_CONTAINER
SAP easy splitter container: Displays controls in two cells, which the user can resize using a split bar. Class: CL_GUI_EASY_SPLITTER_CONTAINER.
In the control, you can adjust the column width by dragging, or use the 'Optimum width' function to adjust the column width to the data currently displayed. You can also change the column sequence by selecting a column and dragging it to a new position.
Standard functions are available in the control toolbar. The details display displays the fields in the line on which the cursor is positioned in a modal dialog box.
The sort function in the ALV Control is available for as many columns as required. You can set complex sort criteria and sort columns in either ascending or descending order.
You can use the 'Search' function to search for a string (generic search without *) within a selected area by line or column.
You can use the 'Sum' function to create totals for one or more numeric columns. You can then use the "Subtotals" function to set up control level lists: You can use the 'Subtotal' function to structure control level lists: select the columns (non-numeric columns only) that you want to use and the corresponding control level totals are displayed.
For 'Print' and 'Download' the whole list is always processed, not just the sections displayed on the screen.
You can define display variants to meet your own specific requirements. For information on saving variants, see 'Advanced Techniques'.
The ALV grid control is a generic tool for displaying lists in screens. The control offers standard functions such as sorting by any column, adding numeric columns, and fixed lead columns .
Data collection is performed in the program (with SELECT statements, for example) or by using a logical database. The data records are saved in an internal table and passed on to the ALV control along with a field description.
The field description contains information about the characteristics of each column, such as the column header and output length. This information can defined either globally in the Dictionary (structure in the Dictionary) or in the field catalog in the program itself. You can also merge both techniques.
The ALV link is a standard function of Query and QuickViewer. If multiline queries or Quick View lists have been defined, they will automatically be compressed to a single line and output in the ALV control as a long, single line list.
Use Screen Painter to create a sub screen container for the ALV grid control. The control requires an area where it can be displayed in the screen. You have to create a container control that determines this area.
Use the corresponding icon in the Screen Painter layout to create the container control. The size of area "MY_CONTROL_AREA" determines the subsequent size of the ALV control.
The valid GUI status must be set at the PBO event in the flow logic of the ALV subscreen container.
The OK_CODE processing for the cancel functions must be programmed at the PAI event.
The reference variables for the custom container and the ALV grid control must be declared.
To create reference variables, use ABAP statement TYPE REF TO .
The global classes you need to do this are called cl_gui_custom_container (for the custom container control) and cl_gui_alv_grid (for the ALV grid control).
The global classes are defined in the Class Builder. You can use the Class Builder to display information for the methods, their parameters, exceptions, and so on.
Use ABAP statement CREATE OBJECT to create the objects for the container and the ALV control. Objects Are instances of a class.
When an object is created (CREATE), method CONSTRUCTOR of the corresponding class is executed. The parameters of method CONSTRUCTOR determine which parameters have to be supplied with data when the object is created. In the above example, object alv_grid is given the name of the container control (g_custom_container) in exporting parameter i_parent, which links the two controls. For information on which parameters method CONSTRUCTOR possesses and which of these parameters are required, see the Class Builder.
Objects should only be created once during the program. To ensure that this is the case, enclose the CREATE OBJECT statement(s) in an IF IS INITIAL. ... ENDIF clause. The objects must be generated before the control is displayed for the first time - that is, during the PBO event of the ALV subscreen container.
To display the requested dataset in the ALV control, the data must be passed on to the control as an internal table, and a field description must exist indicating the order in which the columns will be output.
In the simplest case, the field description can use a structure from the Dictionary. The Dictionary also determines the technical field attributes like type and length, as well as the semantic attributes like short and long texts. The ALV control uses this information to determine the column widths and headers. The column sequence is determined by the field sequence in the structure.
If no suitable structure is active in the Dictionary, or you want to output internal program fields in the control, then you will have to define information like the output length and column header in the field catalog.
In a typical program run, the dataset is read first (SELECT ....), the internal table is filled with the data to display (... INTO TABLE ...), and ABAP statement CALL SCREEN is then used to call the ALV sub screen container.
The data transfer to the ALV control takes place during the call of method
set_table_for_first_display from class cl_gui_alv_grid. The method call must be programmed at the PBO event of the ALV subscreen container.
The name of the Dictionary structure that supplies the field description is specified in exporting parameter i_structure_name. The name of the internal table that contains the data records to display is specified in changing parameter it_outtab.
The field description for the ALV control can be ta ken from an active Dictionary structure (fully automatic), by passing a field catalog (manual), or through a mixture of the two options (merge).
The field catalog is in internal table with type lvc_t_fcat. This type is defined globally in the Dictionary.
Each line in the field catalog table corresponds to a column in the ALV control.
The field characteristics (= column characteristics) are defined in the field catalog. The field catalog is in internal table with type lvc_t_fcat. Each line that is explicitly described in the ALV control corresponds to a column in the field catalog table.
The link to the data records to output that are saved in internal table is established through field name . This name must be specified in column "fieldname" in the field catalog.
This field can be classified through a Dictionary reference (ref_table and ref_field) or by specifying an ABAP data type (inttype).
Column headers and field names in the detail view of an ALV control line can be determined in the field catalog in coltext and seltext, respectively.
The position of a field during output can be determined with col_pos in the field catalog.
If you want to hide a column, fill field no_out with an "X" in the field catalog. Hidden fields can be displayed again in a user display variant.
Icons can be displayed in the ALV control. If you want a column to be interpreted as an icon, then the icon name must be known to the program (include .) and icon = "X" must be specified for this column in the field catalog.
The above example shows a semi-automatic field description: Part of the field description comes from the Dictionary structure (sflight), while another part is explicitly defined in the field catalog (gt_fieldcat).
The field catalog (internal table) is filled in the program and is passed on together with the name of the Dictionary structure during the method call. The information is merged accordingly in method set_table_for_first_display.
For a user to save display variants, parameters is_variant and i_save must be passed on during method call set_table_for_first_screen. To assign display variants uniquely to a program, at least the program name must be supplied in the transferred structure (gs_variant).
Program names can be up to 30 characters long.
If you only pass on the current parameters for is_variant, then existing variants can be loaded, but no new ones can be saved. If you use parameter i_save, you must pass on a variant structure with is_variant.
I_SAVE = SPACE No variants can be saved.
I_SAVE = 'U' The user can only save user-specific variants.
I_SAVE = 'X' The user can only save general (shared) variants.
I_SAVE = 'A' The user can save both user-specific and general (shared) variants.
You can use parameter is_layout of method set_table_for_first_display, for example, to define the header in the ALV control and the detail display.
To do this, define a query area in the program in accordance with Dictionary structure lvc_s_layo, and pass on the text to display in field -grid_title or -detailtitl.
If you want to create print lists with zebra stripes, set field -zebra to "X". You can display a print preview for print lists by requesting standard function "Print".
All parameters of method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY from global class
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID are defined in the Class Builder.
Events are defined in global class cl_gui_alv_grid; you can use these events to implement user interaction within the program. To respond to a double -click on a table line, you must respond to event DOUBLE_CLICK.
You receive control in the program, allowing you to implement interactive reporting - such as a full screen details list. The events for cl_gui_alv_grid are located in the Class Builder.
To define an implement a local class in the program, you use a handler method. In this handler method, you program the functionality to trigger by a double -click in the output table.
To activate a handler method at runtime, a class or an object from that class registers itself with an event using command SET HANDLER. The names of the IMPORTING parameters in the handler method correspond to the names of the EXPORTING parameters of the related event.
In the above example, the local class is LCL_ILS and the handler method is ON_DBLCLICK. An object - ALV_DBLCLICK - is created and registers itself for event DOUBLE_CLICK.
You can query parameter e_row-index to determine which output line was requested by the double -click. This parameter corresponds to the line number of the output table (internal table with the data records to output). If you need information for the selected line, you have to read it with READ TABLE itab INDEX e_row-index.
This subsequent read in the output table generally corresponds to the HIDE area in conventional reporting. You first have to make sure that the user has double -clicked a line in the output table (similar to the valid line selection with the HIDE technique).
A field group can contain global data objects, but not data objects that have been defined locally in a subroutine or function module.
You can use INSERT to specify both fields and field symbols. This makes it possible to dynamically insert a data object referred to by a field symbol into a field group at runtime. Any field symbols that have not been assigned are ignored, which means no new field is inserted into the field group.
The EXTRACT statement writes all the fields of a field group as one record to a sequential dataset (transport takes place with similarly named fields). If a HEADER field group is defined, then its fields are placed ahead of each record as sort keys. You can then sort the dataset with SORT and process it with LOOP ...ENDLOOP. In this case, no further EXTRACT is possible.
The INSERT statement is not a declarative statement: This means field groups can also be expanded in the program flow section.
As soon as the first dataset of a field group has been extracted with EXTRACT, that field group can no longer be expanded with INSERT. In particular, the HEADER field group cannot be expanded after the first EXTRACT (regardless of the field group).
When the GET events are processed, the logical database automatically writes hexadecimal zeros in all the fields of a node when it returns to an upper-level node in the hierarchy. Since the HEADER normally contains sort fields for all field groups, these hexadecimal zeros in the HEADER serve as a type of hierarchy key: The more zeros there are, the further up in the control level hierarchy you go.
The SORT statement sorts the extract dataset in accordance with the defined field sequence in field group HEADER. The addition BY ... sets a new sort key.
Each must be either a field of field group HEADER or a field group that consists only of fields of the field group HEADER. You can use the additions ASCENDING and DESCENDING to determine whether the fields are sorted in ascending (default) or descending order.
Fields containing X'00' in the logical databases are always displayed before all other values during a SORT.
Processing of an extract dataset always takes places within a LOOP. The contents of the extract dataset field are placed in program fields with the same names.
The group change always involves the fields of the HEADER. Single record processing for extract datasets is performed using language element AT ( = field group).
CNT() is not a statement, but instead a field that is automatically create d and filled when is a non-numeric field from field group HEADER and is part of the sort key. At the end of the group, CNT() contains the number of different values that the field recorded in this group level.
SUM() is not a statement, but instead a field that is automatically created and filled when is a numeric field of an extract dataset. At the end of the group, SUM() contains the control total of field .
*** and CNT are only available at the end of the group level or at AT LAST.
Single record processing for extract datasets AT WITH is only performed when field group is immediately followed by field group in the temporary dataset.
Loops over an extract dataset cannot be nested. However, several contiguous loops are permitted.
The sequence of the control level changes within the LOOP must correspond to the sort sequence.
Totals can only be calculated within control footer processing.
Extracts allow only appends (EXTRACT), sorting (SORT) and sequential processing (LOOP).
Once a SORT or LOOP has occurred, the intermediate dataset is frozen and cannot be expanded with EXTRACT. Operations that insert into or delete from EXTRACT datasets are not supported.
Extracts allow for several record types (FIELD-GROUPS) with fields that can be set dynamically (INSERT is not a declarative statement!). Internal tables have a single, statically-defined line type.
Internal tables use the sequence of table fields according to the declaration for the hierarchy of the control leve l. The control level structure for internal tables is therefore static, and is independent of which criteria were used to sort the internal table.
Extracts do not depend on the field sequence for control level processing: a re-sort or a completely different control level process can take place. The control level structure for extract datasets is therefore dynamic. It corresponds exactly to the sort key of the extract dataset. The sort key is the sequence of fields from the field group HEADER, and is used to sort the extract dataset.
Extracts rely on the compiler to determine which combinations of group levels and a cumulating field the control level totals desire. The desired control level totals are determined by the processing of LOOP ... ENDLOOP blocks. Internal tables build the control level total with the SUM statement.
This procedure leads to high resource depletion for totaling control levels in internal tables.

Filter Function in Column Formula is not working properly

Hi,
I am using Filter Function in Column formula tab in Answers to calculate the Total sum from the start of the Fiscal month to the Month selected from the Prompt.
My requirement is I have total sales column. Now I need to calculate TYYTD kind of thing for which I cant use the Time sereis due to my report constraint.
Instead of that I am using this Filter function on TYYTD column where i am giving the filter as start of the Fiscal month to the month selected from the Prompt.
For example if I select May month from the Prompt then this TYYTD column should give me SUM(Total Sales) between Feb and May for which I am using the Filter Function. But it giving me only May sales whcih is same as Total Sales column.
Can anyone throw some light on this as this is very important for us or any alternate solution other than Time sereis measures.
Did anyone got this kind of issue with Filter Function?

Azad

Ok...here's the steps to fix this as efficiently as possible. I have a whole bunch of mailboxes under "On My Mac" and they have a bunch of mailboxes nested in them. I get my messages into Apple Mail via IMAP. (I don't know if this matters.) The steps below assume you have a similar setup.
1. Hold the Option key down and click the dropdown arrow next to each mailbox that has one. This will cause all nested mailboxes below it to appear.
2. Go to the top of the list of mailboxes under "On My Mac" and highlight the first mailbox. Then hold the Shift key down and highlight the last mailbox in the list. This will cause all of the mailboxes and nested mailboxes to be highlighted.
3. From the menu, select "Mailbox --> Rebuild" and the rebuild process will start.
4. Watch the top of the mail screen to see the message count change as the mailboxes are being rebuilt. Wait until the activity stops before doing the next step.
5. As the mailboxes were rebuilt, many messages were reset as "Unread" even though every message was previously "Read." Make sure the mailboxes you want to affect are still highlighted. Right-click and select "Mark All Messages Read."
That fixed the problem for me.

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.

Using sum function and round function in single text form field

Hi all,
I have a column Name - A . In the rtf template i have summed up the column A and showing it. But the output is coming as 99.9999997. I want to round it to 100.
I tried using <?round(sum(A),2)?> but dint workout.
I also tried using variables. It is also not working.. I used <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’ABS',sum(A)?> and then i used get variable to get it.... But it throwing error while using sum in the set variable step.
Can anyone please help me..
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Calculate the sum into a Variable. and apply round function on the variable to get the desired value.
Calculating sum:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v')+DOLLARS)?> (its running sum formula,should be placed inside the table to get sum of all rows of particular column)
here Variable 'v' holds the sum value
apply round function:
<?round(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v'))?>
Thanks and Regards,
Aravind
