Yes, I understand the Export issue.
My problem is that many of our Master Accounts were created in 2001 and
have since had several Slave accounts added in 2002. I am attempting to
produce a report that accounts for *all* Billing Cycle Items created
between 01/01/2002 and 12/31/2002 in order to figure out what products and
services we sold last year.
In order for this report to be accurate, it must include Billing Cycle
items that were added in both Master *and* Slave accounts. This would be
pretty straightforward to do, except for the fact that the Billing Cycle
Products report only has two options - Establish Date or Cancellation Date
(which are both based on the Master).
My current dilemma:
--- If I were to use an Establish Date of 01/01/2002 thru 12/31/2002 then
the report would omit all the Billing Cycle Items added to Slave accounts
whose Master Account was created in 2001 (which is a significant amount) ---
A few solutions I can see:
1. Add "Added On / Added At" date fields to Billing Cycle Items and make it
a field that can be reported/searched on (I could then back-populate this
field based on the Slave account's Establish Date)
2. Figure out some way to Export the data and then manipulate it within
Excel to produce the report I'm after.
So, I'm trying to figure out #2, but the problem I'm having is that if I
run an Export for Master Accounts added after 01/01/2002, then the Slave
accounts *are* included for those accounts, and I'm trying to figure out
how to take the Slaves added in 2002 with Master Accounts that were added
in 2001 and add it to the first total..
