texte = The only way to do this sort of thing is to summarize on the first category, then within that do a second summary with the first category fixed, etc. out to five fields. Here is some pseudo-code (i.e. will not run in WebCat) to get you started:[search sum on cat1] [founditems] [cat1] [search sum on cat2 with cat1=[cat1]] [founditems] [cat2] [search sum on cat3 with cat1=[cat1] and cat2=[cat2]] [founditems] [cat3] [search sum on cat4 with cat1=[cat1] and cat2=[cat2] and cat3=[cat3]] [founditems] [cat4] [search sum on cat5 with cat1=[cat1] and cat2=[cat2] ... ] [founditems] [cat5] [/founditems] [/search] [/founditems] [/search] [/founditems] [/search] [/founditems] [/search] [/founditems] [/search] You can alter the output of the fields to supress blank lines if need be.HTHJohn Peacock ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: summarizing multiple fields Author:
