=If [Group]InList("Net Sales";"Standard COGS";"Gross Margin";"Non-Std COGS";"Gross Profit";"SG&A";"Bad Debt Expense";"Total R&D";"Total Operating Expenses";"Other Expense - Net";"Earnings Before Interest & Taxes";"Enabling") Then ([Sales]/1000) Else [Sales]) ,where as this used for summing the sales (

=If([Product]="Total Corn Seed" And [Group]InList("Net Sales";"Standard COGS";"Gross Margin";"Non-Std COGS";"Gross Profit";"SG&A";"Bad Debt Expense";"Total R&D";"Total Operating Expenses";"Other Expense - Net";"Earnings Before Interest & Taxes")) Then (Sum([s])Where ([Product]=("Total Corn Seed"))+ Sum([s])Where ([Product]=("Corn Traits"))) Else ([s])

Hi Spandana,

If I understand your requirement correctly, do you have following type of cross tab table?


Total Corn SeedCorn Traits
Supplier A789456
Supplier B999345
Supplier C12312
Supplier D567123

And you would like to hide "Corn Trait" column. Correct ?

If above is true then please review your requirement, as "Corn Trait" is not a column. Its a row, as shown below and you can remove it by using a quick filter webi.
