Summary

This article explains how to enter ranges for a report generator report.

More Information

The Range for a report defines the limits of what will be included.

Examples of how you might set your ranges could include just a single date or range of dates, a range of customers or suppliers or any other item that takes your fancy!

There are three levels of ranges - see Why are there three ranges? to understand the purpose of this.

Entering a Range

  • Edit the report and go to " Range Filter (1)".

Fields

Var

  • Enter the variables on which you want to range your report.

Parameters

  • If your variable has parameters, enter the one you want here.

Op.

  • Enter the "Op." that you want for the first variable. This defines how you want the variable compared to the "Limit/Comparison" field.
For a list of Op. values, use the "Help" function on the field.

Limit/Comparison

  • Enter the value for this variable.

AND/OR

  • This field will only take the value of 'A' for And, or 'O' for Or. How you set this will depend on what you are trying to do with your report and the range or ranges that you are setting.
