Thanks for sharing. Wondering if you heard anything about being able to PDF files directly using Adobe or if spellcheck might be a feature? How do we get sample reports? Thanks! Mary Hi Jan,

Watch the detail level: if it’s financial and account and you’re sending everything straight to the printer, you’re likely to get reams of paper you don’t want. Watch the output type (printer, drilldown viewer, excel, etc) and make sure it’s consistent for each report. Finally, for any reports with trees, set the tree options (Catalog> Report Options> Tree Options) so that the reports process without human intervention. Or for a better way, check out the Report Manager, an optional module in 6.7, which allows the creation of report books containing Excel, Word, Crystal, and FRx reports. And here’s a link to a chaining alternative: use Report Launcher instead of chaining.

]]> Comment on Link FRx to Excel to Calculate Statistics by Jan Harrigan CPA http://www.frxbuzz.com/link-frx-to-excel-to-calculate-statistics/comment-page-1/#comment-1210 Jan Harrigan CPA Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:33:21 +0000 http://www.frxbuzz.com/uncategorized/link-frx-to-excel-to-calculate-performance-metrics/#comment-1210 Hi Laura...most mid-market GLs have different 'books' or 'ledgers' that you can use for non-financial information. They use account numbers just like the GL. Then FRx accesses these books in the 'Book Code' field in the column layout (and in the row format with a row modifier). So instead of having to link to Excel to pull in your stats, point to the Book that contains the stats and you enter an account number. In many cases this is much simpler than linking to Excel.
