hierarchy and sub totals

  • Hi all,

    Ive created a recursive hierarchy report based on employees reporting to bosses.

    Each employee who has subordinate employees will appear unexpanded with a "plus (+)" symbol beside their name.

    Each employee (including bosses) has associated expenses under 5 categories.

    I can currently display the above, but I am required to make the following changes.

    The expenses figures for a boss employee with subordinate employees, will all be totals of the bosses expenses PLUS the expenses for each subordinate employee...

    subordinate employees CAN in turn have their OWN subordinates.

    To make it more complicated, when you expand a boss employee, they want one of the subordinate indented rows to also contain the expanded boss employees individual expenses.

    Therefore

    if a boss, employee 1 has subordinate employees 2 and 3

    and employee 3 is also a lower level boss and has a subordinate - employee 4

    and each of their individual expenses were as follows:

    employee1 €100 employee2 €240 employee 3 €160 employee 4 €200

    on the report it CURRENTLY appears as follows

    +Employee1 100

    when you expand it it appears as follows

    - Employee1 100

    Employee2 240

    + Employee3 160

    and fully expanded

    - Employee1 100

    Employee2 240

    Employee3 160

    - Employee4 200

    Im required to have it appear as follows:

    +Employee1 700

    when you expand it it appears as follows

    - Employee1 700

    Employee1 100

    Employee2 240

    + Employee3 360

    and fully expanded

    - Employee1 700

    Employee1 100

    Employee2 240

    - Employee3 360

    Employee3 160

    Employee4 200

    What sort of grouping do I need to do on this?

    Ive already used a detail group with child and parent dependency for the expanding hierarchy, but i assume i need to group of sum the totals too within this hierarchy?

    any help or pointers are greatly appreciated. :unsure:

  • Could you post some sample data to test with? Use the format in the first link in my signature line.

    If you post the code you are using to get the Counts that might help too.
