Performing In-Section Totaling

Open a columnar or group section report in RDA.

1. Click the variable of a numeric field.

2. From the Edit menu, select Item Properties.

3. On the properties form, select the Totaling tab.

4. Select one or both of these options:

   • Total

   • Grand Total

5. Select from these aggregate functions, and click OK:

   • Sum

   • Average

   • Minimum

   • Maximum

   • Count

6. From the File menu, select Report Properties.

7. On the Report Properties tab, select one or both of these options:

   • Print Totals Only

   • Print Grand Totals

     These two options correspond to the options that you selected in step 4.

     Note: Depending on the options that you selected, the system adds one or two lines to the bottom of each column before each section break. If you selected both the total and grand total options, the total line appears before the grand total line. The totals are not labeled. In fact, except for the column that displays the total, information from the last record is repeated in the total line. You can suppress totals for fields that you do not want to appear on this line.
