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
