Runing Total in Cognos 8 Report.net... 1

[Rosti]

What is the difference between total and running total functions? How to use running total function?

 

[blom0344]

A running total will show the sum of the values from the first one to the current one.

Example:

value running total

10 10 (=10)
20 30 (=10+20)
40 80 (=10+20+40)
80 180 (=10+20+40+80)
5 185 (=10+20+40+80+5)

Thank you so much! It clears it very well!
Do you know how to use it in the Cognos 7 or Report.net ?

I don't know about Cognos7, but i believe it is a standard Cognos function in ReportNet..
