  • 1.  Formula for Counting Notes in a Field by User

    Posted 12 days ago

    I've created a formula (thanks to the help from this community) that gives me a tally of the number of times a specific record has been modified.  This works perfectly. However, I'd like to break this count down by user.  For example, if a record was modified 4 times, I'd like to see that John Smith modified it twice and Jane Smith modified it twice.

    Any ideas? For reference, I've used the following formula to tally the modifications:

    Count(
    Part([Log Notes],2,"]"), 
    Part([Log Notes],3,"]"),
    Part([Log Notes],4,"]"),
    Part([Log Notes],5,"]"),

    Etc.

    Ah, that's really gunna be hard.

    If you really wanted that I would suggest that you get away from using the down and dirty log notes method and set up a proper Child table where you add child to add a note. Then you can summarize that easily every which way with a little summary report of the notes, summarized by User.
