Hello Gurus,

 

I have a tables which I called Dashboard Table; Materials Table and I have a related table Which I called Expiring Next Month & Retest Next Month.

 

I want to save all my Expiring Materials for the Next Month and Retest Materials for the Next Month in one Excel sheet.

Rosalie,

I attached a mod of your file that contains an export routine script. Here is what I implemented:

 - In your Materials table, I defined a global text field called "gType". I, also, added a few calculation text fields to deal with file prefixes on export files based on computer platform (Mac or PC). I normal would just add a few custom function for this. But your profile says you ARE NOT using FMP11 Developer.

- I defined a Materials Temp table. Same fields as your Materials table with an additional field called "type".

- Defined a script that initializes Materials Temp (MT) table (Show all/deletes all records), goes back to Materials table and sets gType to "Expiring", does a does a find for "expiring" materials, imports them to "MT",  goes back to Materials table and set gType to "Retest", does a does a find for "retest" materials, imports them to "MT", then exports to EXCEL on your Desktop.

Tear it apart and post questions if you have them.

Good luck ;o)

you could filter portals like:

Expiring Next Month::Material Balance>0

and layouts, maybe on layout enter script which will start at rec1 and omit where balance=0 ?

Hi Alex,

I figured it out about portal filtering. my next problem is how not to include the eliminated Materials with Zero Balances into my Count alert.

Thank you.
