Price of collections Here's a report of the cost of collections, grouped by collection. Includes a grand total, count of total items per collection and an average price per collection. Naturally you will need to set datasource to your server. And main.deactdate is null, otherwise you're counting all your withdrawals as well. Please test and see how you go. Also don't forget gigo, if you don't have a value in the field for price, it will distort the figures. - Gavin

CR_tips5_Available_on_reserve Ever wanted to try to run Crystal Reports from an Excel file? I have imported from Spydus' Instant Report "Items available for allocation" this file into Excel and with Crystal Report changed the layout and sorted the fields to make it easy to check the collections/shelves. By using the same Excel file name and saving it in the same folder and following a few steps, Crystal Reports can find this data and updates the screen automatically after the Ok to update prompt.

Monthly Discards Report (v.2) - lastmonth Monthly Discards Report: gives a summary of the numbers of items 'discarded' in each collection and its total value, for each branch/library, for a particular period - to be entered when the refresh button is clicked (uses a parameter macro). The 2nd version uses the date range 'LASTMONTH' in case the date selection feature in the first version doesn't work.(Spydus 8.2) Madelon van Zijll de Jong - Hastings Central Library NZ
