Trying to get grand total from subtable aggregates

jverly01

I'm wondering what's the best way to get a grand total of multiple subtable aggregates. I found something close on another post where the subtable data is getting aggregated correctly - see attached report.<br />

So if the report is modified to have multiple sales orders, I'm trying to figure out a way to get a grand total of each of the sub-table aggregate totals. Any ideas?

Looks like the report didn't attach. Here it is.

Take a look at the attached example. In it, I am using scripting to add up the values of an aggregation in a child table, and displaying that in a parent table. You can set a global variable in the onCreate method, and due to the order that the numbers are generated, this will add it up for the sub-tables. Just be sure to reset that variable. Use the Outline view, under the Scripts section, to see what scripts are being used.

I've included some background on the report I'm trying to use in Maximo. The report has a main data set and two sub data sets. <br />

<br />
So the LABORCODE field pulls up multiple values for the WORKHOURS and REGULARHRS fields, which come from different sub data sets. So in the grid for the sub data sets, each week's worth of data is aggregated to each LABORCODE (basically the employee ID) - see below. <br />
<br />

<br />
The sub data aggregate uses a script on the onCreate method <br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>importPackage(Packages.java.lang);
var lastValue = this.getValue();
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("tot_workhours", new Float(lastValue));</pre>
<br />
So now I want to get a grand total of each sub data table aggregate totals.

I provided an example of how to do that in the attachment I provided.

Thanks for the example report. My issue is I want to to now have a grand total all grouped "currentAggregationValue" totals - see attached. <br />

Any suggestions?

I think I got it figured out. Will update with results over the weekend. Thanks again for the help.

Glad you got it working, let us know if you run into anything else!

FIXED - This is how I got the grand total I was looking for to work out. This is an extension of the report that John provided earlier in the message stream (thanks again for the start). There were basically 4 steps to get the aggregate grand total to work.<br />
<br />
1. Insert a new aggregate in the footer of the report. The aggregate does not actually get applied to a field. In the expression builder, just enter a value like 1.00. A javascript will be used to overwrite the aggregate value later on.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Add a new variable for the overall grand total. So on the outline, click on the report name and add a new variable via the script tab on the Initialize method.<br />
<br />

<br />
3. On the subdata aggregate field, in this case the the SumTotalPrice field highlighted in yellow as shown in step 1, add a new javascript function to summarize the field's value on the script tab on the onCreate method.<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>grandtotal += parseFloat(this.getValue());</pre>
<br />

<br />
4. Then on the aggregate in the footer, add javascript to show the overall value on the onRender method.<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>this.setDisplayValue(grandtotal);</pre>
<br />
