Prerequisites

Before you begin working with calculation columns, ensure that you:

• Create a batch application object.

• Complete the design of the report template using either a tabular section or an application report.

• Perform these actions:

  • Create a percent calculation column from the Director.

    For example, if you are creating a financial report that is based on account balances, create a column called Percent of Revenue.

  • Insert a numeric variable column.

  • Add rows to the tabular section.

    This step is necessary to create the cell to use as the denominator. For example, add data rows to hold the revenue sales and a calculation row to hold the total revenue.
