Options | Calculated Rows

When you are creating customized reports in Ad Hoc Inquiry you have the ability to create specialized footers using the options on the Calculated Rows tab. These rows act as footers beneath sections of data and can be configured to provide calculated summaries of any piece of data in that section that you wish to highlight. To make the summary stand out in the report, you can use color to highlight a calculated row.

To create a Calculated Row:

  1. Use the Group Footer drop down to specify the section in the report under which you want to add your calculated row. (Keep in mind that the items that appear in the Group Footer drop down will depend on what item you selected on the View tab.)

  1. Use the New Footer Row text box to designate a name for the row.

  1. Use the following drop down to specify the group that is to appear below the group footer level on the report.

  2. In the Measures list, select those items that you want to have calculated in the group footer.

  3. Use the calculator pad to create your actual formula. As you do, the formula will display in the adjacent panel. If you make a mistake and want to start over, just click the Clear button. When you’re satisfied with your formula, click the Save button. You can use the Delete button to remove a saved formula.
