CrosstabMaxDec

Description

Calculates the maximum value returned by an expression in the values list of the crosstab and returns a result with the decimal datatype. When the crosstab definition has more than one column, CrosstabMaxDec can also calculate the maximum of the expression’s values for groups of column values.

NoteFor crosstabs only You can use this function only in a crosstab DataWindow object.

Syntax

CrosstabMaxDec ( n {, column, groupvalue } )

Argument

Description

n

The number of the crosstab-values expression for which you want the maximum returned value. The expression’s datatype must be numeric.

column (optional)

The number of the crosstab column as it is listed in the Columns box of the Crosstab Definition dialog box for which you want intermediate calculations.

groupvalue (optional)

A string whose value controls the grouping for the calculation. Groupvalue is usually a value from another column in the crosstab. To specify the current column value in a dynamic crosstab, rather than a specific value, specify @ plus the column name as a quoted string.

Returns

Decimal. Returns the maximum value returned by expression n for all the column values or, optionally, for a subset of column values.

Usage

Use this function instead of CrosstabMax when you want to return a decimal datatype instead of a double datatype. For more information, see CrosstabMax.
