Conditional Sum Statement

Hey all,
Quick question, I have a field that I need to sum only when another
field is a certan value.
For example, a dataset with 5 fields {row_id, dealer_id, rep_id,
sales_code, sales_amt} and grouped by dealer_id then rep_id, I would
want to sum the sales_amt field when the first character of the
sales_code field is an 'X'. So for the set:
1, 1, 999, X100, $200.00
2, 1, 999, 200, $500.00
3, 1, 999, 898, $1000.00
4, 1, 555, X340, $2000.00
5, 1, 555, X444, $23.00
The resultant sums would be:
for dealer_id 1: 2223.00
for rep_id 999: 200.00
for rep_id 555: 2023.00
I am trying to do this in MRS as opposed to making it an additional
field in my querry.
Thanks!I think this is what you are asking...
And There is probably an easier way to do this but in the expression builder
IIF(SUBSTR(sales_code),1,1) = "x", Sum(sales_amt ),"")
Or something along those lines...
Hope that helps

I had to create a calculated field and summed it that way, i did use
your code snippit to generate my calculated field.
Thanks!!!|||Glad I could help, That is the best thing i have heard all day.

Easy way of doing is, if u want a sum by Sales order =x...., AND REP_ID
create a group with the sales order =x JUST "X" and u will get the value for
it
and then subtract this one with rest of value.
