Lire::Sum3pm
Lire class that implements the sum operator
Usage
use Lire::SumOverview
Class that implements the sum operator. This operator will compute the field's sum in a group of DLF records.
It's possible to compute a weighted sum in which each value is first multiplied by the value of another DLF field.
Its also possible to express the count as a ratio of the total count for the group or table.
Methods
new( %params )
Creates a new Lire::Count object. In addition to the values supported by its parents, the weight and ratio attributes will be initialized to the values specified in the %params argument.
weight( [$new_weight] )
Returns the DLF field's name by which the values will be multiplied before being summed.
You can change the weight field by specifying a new name as the $new_weight parameter. Use undef to remove the use of a weighting field.
ratio([$new_ratio])
Returns how the sum will be expressed. This can one of three possible values:
none
|
Default. The absolute sum will be used. |
|---|---|
group
|
The sum will be expressed as a percentage of the group's sum. |
table
|
The sum will be expressed as a percentage of the table's total sum. |
