Cross-Table Report Formulas
I am using QB in our manufacturing facility and am trying to get an order-by-order bill of materials. Specifically, I have a table for "Raw Goods" (the raw materials we make into parts), "Parts" (the things we sell), "Assigned Goods" (an intermediate table creating a many-to-many relationship between Raw Goods and Parts), and an "Orders" table (where individual orders for parts are entered). Each part record has a bill of materials that specifics how many pounds of of each raw good is needed to make one part. When I enter an order in the Orders table and enter the quantity of parts ordered, I need the Order record to multiply the quantity of each raw good by the number of parts ordered. I can figure out how to the get the original bill of materials to show up on the Order record (by looking up the embedded bill of materials report from the related Part record), but how do I then multiply the quantity of parts ordered in the Order record by the individual raw good quantities? In the example below, I would need a column multiplying each value by 15,000. Any suggestions are much appreciated! ------------------------------ Kiel Berry ------------------------------
Calculate total working days between dates (including Bank holidays)
Hi I am aiming to calculate the total amount of working days between two dates whilst also considering Weekends, Bank holidays and Christmas Holiday etc. I have created a calendar for the next 5 years which puts a 1 next to the days that are actual working days. Within this table the desired result is achieved by simply filtering the start and end date and it totals up the working days, however I need this result to appear as a result of a start and end date on another table. Any help appreciated. After I have achieved this I will also need to calculate the end date based on a start date and adding a number of working days, which again needs to consider Weekends, Bank holidays and Christmas Holiday etc. Thank you in anticiption. ------------------------------ Stu ------------------------------
How to use formula or summary field to get latest record data?
I have a table sales and a child table of products. I am trying to find the latest related child (products) field "price". I can create a summary field on the parent to get the latest date but it will not get me the "price" field. How do I use the formula field to get the latest date record and return the "price" value of that record? Thanks!Display field of most recent child record?
Parent table: Computers I want a field in this table to reflect the most recent "status" that was entered for each child record in a Statuses table. I'm sorry -- I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but I've tried about five different searches to see where the answer for this question would be. Thank you!
How to use JavaScript to concat child records into a single field?
I'm trying to learn how to concatenate multiple child records into a single field on a report. I have spent a lot of time searching google and the help forums and have come up with nothing. I don't want to use reverse look up because there could be a lot of records I'm returning or only 1. I figured the best way to accomplish this would be JavaScript. Maybe some tutorials on how to implement JavaScript functionality with QuickBase would help.
