Horizontal Calculations

  • Hi there,

     

    My boss has asked me to look into how we are going to add up line items horizontally before adding together vertically.

    What i have is ServiceLines on a transaction, each ServiceLine may have different amounts of payments applied (this gets carried out a few decimals hence the need to go horizontal before vertical). I need to get the balance of the transaction. How do i go about adding across first then down?

    Any examples of this in effect would be greatly appreciated? I can only think of cursors.

     

    Thank you,

  • Hi Brian,

    You will get a better answer if you post DDL for the table, as well as some sample data and expected results.  Without that, a simple method might be a calculated column.

    Assuming you have something like acct#, service1, service2, service3 then you coule create a calculated column as service1 + service2+service3.  Your vertical sum is then simply sum(calculatedColumnName).

    This may or may not be useful in your specific situation.  More details will really help us to help you.

    Have a nice day
