Creating a Report to Pull Specific part of a note

Hello,


I am attempting to create a report that pulls ONLY the last sentence of a note.  Can I please have step by step directions on how to do that?

  • Can you give us a example of what a note looks like? Probably a screenshot would be best.

      Hello,

      Please see the attached screenshot from Quickbase showing the recent activity. I am looking to have the last note from the last activity on the weekly report. I highlighted in yellow the most recent note that I want displayed on the weekly report.

        There is more than one way to do this.

        I Suggest making a formula text field called  [Note for Roll up] which contains all the elements of that note that you want to capture, for example the date of the note and the content of the note and the note type.

        Turn on the relationship where One Company has many Notes, make a summary maximum field to get the [Record ID of the most recent note] (ie the Maximum of the Record ID# field.  Then look  that field up down to the note record.

        Make a combined summary text field of that [Note for Roll up]. Filter where the [Record ID#] =  [Record ID of the most recent note].  That will give you the most recent note on the parent record but it will look kind of funky in a bubble like that so then make a new formula field  

        ToText([Combined Text for Note for Roll up])
