Title: Crosstab summary calculation
Post by: TheDarkKnight on 29 Jan 2010 01:13:33 AM
Hi Pals,
In Crosstab, is it possible to use the summary data item for a calculation. For eg..ina a simple sense,i have a crstab with product type, year, revenue.i have the summary of revenues at the bottom as total(product type).
i tried to insert have another summary below and modified its calc as total(product type) /2 to get half of the revenue. This gives me an error as edge insconsistent.

Suggestions pls.

Cheers!!!

Hi,

Wouldn't the expression be total([Revenue] for [Year])/2

Does this give you the correct result if you define it as a Query Calculation stacked directly below the summary footer?
