Definition

Using a row formula, you can link together different report rows. ne another. You can use the following operands:

  • the row blocks of the types 'Set' or 'Formula' used in the report
  • cells (e.g. 'TOTAL' for a certain sum in the report)
  • Value variables (e.g. '&1PERIK' for the value variable 1PERIK)

Also make sure that:

  • The formula statement uses the proper Report Writer Syntax.
  • A row block (of type 'Set' or 'Formula') is specified in a formula line by the respective row number, for example '001' for row 001.
  • If the row block has the type 'set', the operand will always refer to the greatest sum resulting from the relevant rows. This is the row with a level of detail set at '1' for each character. If this sum is hidden because of a negative level of detail, the row formula cannot be evaluated.
  • A row formula must contain at least one row block as an operand. If several row blocks are included as operands in the row formula, you can specify from which row block the column structure should copy the formula line by creating a
  • representative row block . The column number of the formula line is determined by the smallest common number columns in the formula line of detailed row blocks to be entered.
  • The formula line print classes are determined by the print classes in the representative row block.
  • If a formula miscalulate rows with a column formula, the corresponding column formula of the representative row block is evaluated for the formula line.
