Hello everyone!

I need help with a report i am making on report painter.

Create a report called EXER08C that displays the average expenses for each year and a sum
of the expenses for each state.
The fields needed from the TRAINING table are:
COURSESTART (Format – YMD)

Hi Krisguy,

Welcome to Focal Point!

To display an image on the forum:

1) Upload the image file to an external FTP site (e.g. www.tinypic.com - no registration needed)
2) Post the URL to the image by either: (1) clicking on the Image URL icon and insert the URL to the image, then choose alignments (left, right, etc.); or (2) wrap the URL with tags [ IMG ]URL-goes-here[ /IMG ].

Cheers!

Kathryn

Krisguy,

That exercise reflects what you learned in lesson 8 - Performing Numeric Operations. Go back and review that lesson and I believe you will see all you need to know on how to get started on this exercise.

Also - Computes are explained in lesson 7 of that same material and teaches when you should use a compute.

I have never heard of a what/whatif function... not saying there isn't one, but I have never heard of it or used it.
