Design a Custom Report

I am trying to create a large report that must be done weekly.  It involves:

Must have:

  • 35 Departments to report on
  • Each on its own page
    • Each page is a Transactions by Account Report for that specific Department
  • Summary page of a Comparative Income Statement without the Department
  • Summary page of a Comparative Income Statement with the Department
  • Presented in Excel format

Like to have:

  • Summary page Departments link to Department page
  • Each tab named for the Department or report it is displaying

So far:

  • I have created a Report Group in "My Reports" that holds all the Transaction by Account Reports that are needed
    • ISSUE:  When displaying the report, it is the report that was originally created and you have to manually change and refresh to the new dates (that's a lot for 35 departments!)
    • ISSUE:  Each is a separate report that has to be converted to Excel (again, 35 separate reports)
  • I can build the report (as an instance in time) manually
    • ISSUE:  Can't get Microsoft Office Documents to allow me access to anything to rebuild or upload that file there

Any help (including pointing me towards a Sage University classes, or YouTube videos!) would be appreciated!

    The best suggestion for this very customized report would be to use XLGL. This product, produced by www.logicim.com is Excel based and can report on any and all information that is in Sage 50 CDN. It is the recommended report writer for Sage 50. Pierre can even write the customized report if you would feel more comfortable. XLGL is updated each year to keep up with Sage 50. Give it a look.
