I have built a graph that references a FOCUS db object. This object provides a distinct count of transactions by day. In the graph I want to display dintinct counts for a range of dates (parm) and instead of returning a distinct count of the transactions it is simply summing them based on the date range parm. Instead of SUM. I tried CNT.DST and it won't work.

I neglected to mention that this is a gauge graph (tachometer) and that may be my issue (multiple data points without a table request). I'm hoping there's a way around this.
Any ideas?

-* This graph displays the number of stores with a transaction within the last 7/10/14 days.

-* TRANSACTIONTYPE codes:
-*4 ? is a Return which will be a negative value.
-*5 ? is a Sale which will be a positive value.
-*16 ? is a Post Void of a Return which will be a positive value.  i.e. (same as a sale)
-*17 ? is a Post Void of a Sale which will be a negative value.  i.e. (same as a return)

Hi Kadkins,

I checked with our graph people and here is the suggestion:

DST is not supported for graph; a workaround is listed: http://techsupport.information...om/sps/11452122.html - release 533

There are also a New Feature Request (NFR) for this functionality. To submit your request, and/or to be notified when this feature is available, please open a case with Customer Support Services. You may either call at 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.

Cheers,

Kerry
