Qrew LegendIt's not so clear from the question, but I will assume that
One Team member Has Many Projects.
You want to enter a date range on the Team Member table (ie two fields called [Analysis Star] and [Analysis End] and you want to know how may projects they worked on during that period.
Is that the question? if so, do the child projects record have a start and stop date on them?

Hi,
yes that is correct one team member has many projects. in the child table for Projects I do have a completed date and time and that is what I want to bring over. I want to be able to report projects by time frame for the team member, but seems I can only summarize the fields by time frame, I have not found a way to bring everything over and then create reporting in the parents table so I can filter by timeframe.
hope this makes sense.
thank you

- MarkShnier__YouI suggest that you turn your thinking upside down. Create a summary report on the child projects table and you will be able to group it by team member say down the page and then across the top you can have Date by week project completed and in the Cells will be the number of projects.

------------------------------- thank you Mark, the challenge I am having is that I need to make a formula field that adds the project per team member in addition to 2 other variables. I have not been able to make a formula field in the child table that can add the number records in the child table plus the other variables in one field.
I tried Summary formulas in the reporting, but I cannot get all the fields to cooperate. but it works in the parent table.
This is the formula I am using but it is limiting to the time frame of the fields I am bringing over.
((([# of Chart Previous Week]+([Extensive Logged Report Types Previous Week]*0.1)+([Total # of No Info/Search Fee Previous Week]/[Quota Multiplier]))/[Previous Week Duration in Seconds])*3600)

------------------------------- MarkShnier__YouIf your calculations are all for children which are "during the previous week"., the you can make a summary field which counts children where a date field is During the Previous 1 week(s).
