Hi,
I have a table that contains the following fields
----------------------------------------------------------
name actual budget summary sort
-----------------------------------------------------------'m of h' 10.0 20.0 'revenue' 100
'donations' 18.0 80.0 'revenue' 200
'Up Salaries' 23.0 44.0 'sal and benefits' 500
'Mos salaries' 47.0 88.0 'sal and benefits' 600
'Food' 989.0 789.0 'xy_other supplies' 800
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now I want to create a report based on this table.
The report should look something like this
--------------------------------------
actual budget
Revenue:
'm of h' 10.0 20.0
'donations' 18.0 80.0
----------------------------
Total Revenue 28.0 100.0
----------------------------
Expenses:
'up salaries' 23.0 44.0
'mos salaries' 47.0 88.0
---------------------------------
Total sal and benefits 70.0 132
--------------------------------
'food' 989.0 789.0
-----------------------------------
Total xy_other supplies 989.0 789.0
------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Total expense 1059 921.0
------------------------------------
Revenue-expense (1031) (821)
-------------------------------------
So the report is divided into 2 parts:
-revenue and expense.
-The report is grouped on the summary field
-The 'sal and benefits' ,'xy_other supplies' summary field fall under expense and these values make up total expense.
-While 'revenue' summary field fall under revenue
-Also within each group records are ordered on the sort field.
My main question is that
since 'salaries and benefits' and 'xy_other supplies' fall under expense and I need to find out the total expense in my report ,would I need to find out values that fall under revenue in my main report and then have a subreport where I would find out the values for expense values? Or can this be done without using a subreport.
Since the table that my query is based on is dynamically created would it work if I created another field which was either revenue or expense.
Which is the easiest way to get around this problem?
Thanks.
