Auto Sum or Roll Up

I apologize if this has been answered but I can not seem to find the correct post.

I have a CR 2008 report that counts a bunch of stuff in specific columns within tables. This is used for DQ reporting of the transactional system.

The report has been formatted for a single district. What I need to do is have the report auto roll up for one or more districts and or all districts. Currently because the district is the page header it returns a single row and count for each district.

I am looking for a similar function as projected aggregation that is found when using a universe and webi or deski.

Can anyone offer some assistance?

Thank you

What I understood is you need a cascading prompt !!

-District
-Multiple Districts
-All Districts

For this you need to create a Cascading LOV based on a Business View and use that LOV in your report.

If you want to roll up the numbers by district and then total for the report, you’ll need to do the following:

  1. Add a group for district.
  2. Place your summaries in the group header.
  3. Place your grand total in either the report header or the report footer.

Instead of using the LOV that BO_Chief recommended, I would create one that has the list of districts - to have “All” I would use a union statement to add All to the list. If you have districts that come before “All” alphabetically, you can do something like “*All”. You then set up the parameter to be multi-select. The user will then select one or more districts without having to go through the logic of having another parameter to select one, many, or all.
