Issues_by_branch_by_collection_for_fin_year_-_not_renewals

Issues for financial year by branch by collection. Not including renewals - just remove that part of the select statement to count all issues.

To change the breakdown to just by collection or just by branch, delete one of those cells from the table and it will recalculate the table without that sort criteria.

A very simples report - what could possibly go wrong?

Create address labels from Community Info database This report is deisgned to produce address labels from the Community Information database. The report uses a simple concatenated field; suburb and postcode have been pasted together as a formula field called SubPost. Two parameter fields have been created to prompt for subjects and council ward codes, and sample subjects and ward codes have been built in to the report for selection. The prompts use "Like" rather than "Equals" to allow for searches on either full or abbreviated strings. Because we note names changes to names of local organisations in the 710 field, we have included a filter on organisation names with text like "*formerly*" to prevent labels based on this note. The formula in the report is : not ({HEADING_1.HEAD} like "*formerly*") and {HEADING.HEAD} like {?string} and {CON.POS} = 1 and {GAN.NOTE} like {?Ward Code} (Spydus 8.2) From: John Ruddle - Monash Public Library VIC

Rental_yesterday Same as Rental_.rpt except: "I copied this rental report and added a formula for yesterday’s date (DateAdd("d", -1, CurrentDate). Now I do not have to select yesterday’s date anymore ..." The original Rental report is for our three libraries with Crystal Reports, which shows: - how much money each library waived in each rental collection - how much each library has received in rental fees for each rental collection - the time and date of issue - the borrower barcode number - sub totals in each rental collection and a grand total We use this report daily with a slight modification of Trevor’s original report design.
