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.

Heavy Reserved items

Branch CDs and DVDs on shelves Lists CDs and DVDs that are sitting on the shelves at our Fairfield branch ie. items not out on loan. It is sorted by call number and lists call number, title, accession number and the last sighted date of the item.(Spydus 8.2.5) From: Lianne Gee - Darebin Libraries

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
