Another Sims Report

[Jamie_a]

I`m wanting to do a report on student attendence with the following

 

Report Name:

 

effective on: 29/01/2008

 

 

 

l Data area: Student - Population: On roll

 

l Data Fields: Forename, Surname, Reg group; Number of lesson marks of each student where Mark is / : Present (AM) or \ : Present (PM)

 

l Filter Students

 

l Use the default sort order: Surname, Legal Forename

 

l Default Output: Excel

Duplicates suppressed in complex reports

Report Title:

 

 

It seems to be counting 2 marks for some lessons for some students, I`m assuming this is where teachers would press the save more than once, Any ideas how I can count these marks only once.

You might have more luck on the Supportnet forums or by logging a call if you haven't already. We only do statutory registration so I'm not sure I can help.

 

I have noticed that sometimes doing a "preview" in the report designer and then running the report from there gives different results, often favourable!

And your sure these aren't valid double lessons?
