Running subtotal?
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 18370
interpreted = N
texte = Here's one that's way beyond my mortal abilities. I am trying to insert arunning subtotal into a [foundItems] context that breaks at each date changeand totals the hours for each date. The search at the bottom is hard-coded toreturn results for 6/12 just as a test. Anyway, since this output will encompass two weeks, perhaps three, of data, Icannot come up with a way to handle a running subtotal short of doing 14separate [search] and [founditems] contexts, one for each date, and then 14more for the running subtotals. Any insights would be much appreciated. (Notethat I've adopted Ken's date storage and retrieval method here, which I highly recommend.) [search db=hours.db&equserdata=[username]&aswdatesort=1&max=500] [foundItems]
[formatdays_to_date %a][wdate][/format]., [format days_to_date][wdate][/format] | [ccode] | [lookupdb=codes.db&lookinField=ccode&value=[ccode]&returnField=desc] | [whours] |
