Can I use a value from a section header in a table within that section?

Hello All,

 

I have a report with a table inside a section "PO Line Number" Inside another section "PO Header":

I would like to create a column in the table which subtracts the running sum of the invoice amount from the PO Amount so that I get values like these: (In this photo I have simply hard-coded the "PO Amount"):

In order to do this, I must refer to the PO Amount where PO Line = 1 ($30,000) but because this value is not associated with an invoice, it becomes $0 on every line within the table because a PO Amount is not associated with individual invoice amounts within a PO Line.  Is there a way to access a value from OUTSIDE a table and use it as a constant within a table?

 

So far I have tried:

1. Searching this topic...I have only found references to using values within the same block like Previous()

2. Creating a variable like =[PO Amount] Where(PO Line Number = 1) and even using a tochar() on it to see if I could get a string version...this is also zero within my table

3. Creating a value in the Universe DF like:

sum(purchase_order_balance) over (Partition by purchase_order_number, purchase_order_line_number order by invoice_date) funning_balance

 

(Although the sql script generated by the WebI pulls the correct data from the Hana db, The WebI gets no data when repointed to this derived table from what was previously a Hana-generated DF)

 

This makes me wonder whether there is any way to refer to values in any other block, section, etc. within WebI...

 

Thanks!
