    Fiscal Year to Date

    Have tried just hard coding the date value to make sure you are actually getting the proper numbers for the previous year? i.e change {Table.InvoiceDate} in [{@ThisFiscalYear_From } to {@ThisFiscalYear_To}] to {Table.InvoiceDate} in [date(2011,10,01) to date(2012,08,16)] That will at least...

    Not able to see printers on Virtual Machine (windows 95)

    I found a solution (although not the ideal one) In the end I found an OLD third party software that allowed me to add a LPR port to the guest OS (It had not ports whatsoever for a printer to connect to previously). I then downloaded the printer drivers (thankfully there was a windows 95...

    Retrieve element number in a Array.

    I am wondering if there is a command to just give me the element number of an item in an array. I need to save space on the page, this report filters using a dynamic paramater so if 5 items are chosen in the parameter, I would like to be able to use the element# instead of the item that is...

    Details section will not unsupress

    Please disregard, I managed to "fool" it by putting a conditional suppress on the section for something that will never be true. weird stuff

    Details section will not unsupress

    CR2008 Not really expecting a solution, but hoping someone has come across this before. As the title says, I cannot uncompress my details section. No error message or anything. I am assuming there is some kind of corruption on the the report, but so much work has been put into it now I dread...

    Formula on summarized fields in crosstab?

    CR2008 I have a report that needs to calculate the average of a variety of time fields. I've done the conversions to time->decimal value and properly created a weighted average crosstab (or seem to have). My problem is I was to convert the decimal value for the time averages back to the...

    Export to .txt maximum line length? (CR2008)

    Just trying to export to a simple .txt file. I get the same issue when using my CR2008 or with the applications version on the server. The forumala is a single string value based on a bunch of fields with "|" as a delimeter. I do have "can grow" set.

    Remove trailing commas from string

    Someone will for sure have a more elegant answer: local stringvar OUTPUT; if not(isnull(ofd.po_num_1)) then OUTPUT := ofd.po_num_1; if not(isnull(ofd.po_num_3)) then OUTPUT := OUTPUT & "," & ofd.po_num_3; if not(isnull(ofd.po_num_4)) then OUTPUT := OUTPUT & "," & ofd.po_num_4; Case When...

    Export to .txt maximum line length? (CR2008)

    I am trying to export a report with a single formula that contains a very large string of data for each line. When I export to text, anything after about 210 characters is moved to the next line. At most there might be 300 characters on a line. Exporting to Excel and then copy/paste into...
