Hi

I have one table with fields for COSTCENTRE and ANNUALBUDGET.
The table has 7 records

I have another table with fields for COSTCENTRE, ACTUAL and TOTALACTUAL (which is a summary of the ACTUAL)
There are many records in this table

I want a report that shows the COSTCENTRE, its BUDGET and the total of all the transactions for that cost centre on the same line.
I would also like to see the variance between the BUDGET and the TOTALACTUAL
How do I do this?

The tables are related through the COSTCENTRE fieldKHub-for-EE.fmp12

Many thanks

Michael

On Filemaker, I would like to create a daily task chart with toggle buttons.
how to show which task is not done at end of day.

When printing from Filemaker, there is a text field being used for notes but it keeps getting cut off after two pages. Is there a size limit on what can be printed out from one text field within Filemaker Pro?

Can You Create Dynamic Columns for Portals?  My boss wants to choose which columns he wants to show because we're running out of screen room etc.  Only way I can think of doing it is to create a pop up layout in table view where he has the column picker.  Any suggestions?

One of my employees/customers gets a strange font in Filemaker if they close it out and then reopen it.  The only way they can clear up this problem is to reboot their whole PC.  We've scanned their PC for viruses and malware with no luck.  Any ideas?

Trying to separate out addresses and cities that have been placed in the same field with only a space to separate them.  I've captured many street abbreviations, but how would I capture the address for something like 100 Hwy 16 Los Angeles?  I attempted to put a Find wildcard of ** like you see below to capture a two-digit number, but it didn't work.  Are there any wildcards that can be used in a calculation field?

PatternCount ( SuperMarketsList::Address; "Hwy ") = 1;
Left ( SuperMarketsList::Address ; Position ( SuperMarketsList::Address ; "Hwy ** "; "" ; 1 ) + 2 ) ;

I had a problem with import records function.In script i given arrange by option as"custom import order".But after running script for 1 time,when i'm trying to run for 2nd time,the option is reverted to "last order".Can't we fix this problem??.I searched everywhere,but i didn't found the solution.
Can anyone help me in this situation.

I created a simple 5 table db on FMP

Scopesheets
Ceiling
Walls
Flooring
Cabinets

right now I only have scopesheets with a relationship to ceiling.
this is the relastionship

   

I can start to input info without any problems.
I can input notes, with the time and date stamps without any problem.

But if I delete all of the notes it clears all the check boxes...



Very crazy, cant understand why it's doing this...

Can someone please help me to how to fix this and why it is happening so that I don't make this mistake again.

Respectfuly

Hello. I built a database using FileMaker. In my table, each record has an automatically generated ID number (specific field): 1,2,3,4 5, etc....
When I delete a record, this field is not automatically renumbered. For example, if I delete record #3, my table will contain 1,2,4,5.
Is there a way I can automatically renumber to 1,2,3,4 and ensure that the last record ID corresponds to the total number of records?

I need help building the following JSON using native Filemaker 16 commands

We have FM 16 in a Windows environment integrated with an Exchange Server.  Boss asked if I can format font in an email.  There is a function (see below) in the email script for the text body, but it didn't work.  The text came through like all the other text in the body - Times New Roman.  Can you format font in an Email in FM 16, including text fonts, bolding and different colors?

TextFont ( "Loretta," ; "Arial Black" )

I have a layout that is able to display a field that is defined as a calculation in its table. The data displays correctly. I then decided to add three more fields on  my layout using three more fields that were defined as calculations. When navigating through the records, i notice that only one of the four fields on my layout displays the data that is calculated on the table.  It only displays one of the four, not two or three or four, but just any one of the four.
Table A (User Settings) is in relationship with Table B (Device Settings).
The fields in the relationship are two:
ContactID = ContactID
UserLocation = DeviceLocation

All fields are entered in DeviceSettings table.
There is a dropdown on devices that is used to select the employee that is assigned that device.
That device is also entered with a value of either for field DeviceLocation: Local, Remote, etc.
The layout called User Settings is a layout that will house all the devices assigned to a user.
If an employee is at the local site as there work location, the relationship should display all items associated with that employee contact ID and place them in there corresponding field.
I used in the UserSettings table on the four fields the field type as : calculation.
I used the If structure to calculate the field. It works correctly when only one field is on the layout with the calculation field, but the moment i enter other calculated fields on the same layout, it only displays one of the four …

So I have 4 tables

Students
Courses
Instrcutors
Compnay

from how I see it it's like this...
one student can take manny courses so thats one to many.
one course can have many students  so thats also one to many
that makes them a many to many relationship.
to connect them I would use a join table (STUDENTS_courses)
The same would be true for the company and Instructors.

So my question is this....
Can I use the same (STUDENTS_courses) also as a join table? if so it would look like this.




Can this be done?
I'm not sure if I can only use one join table.

Any suggestions?

If it's wrong, what would be the correct way to do it?

Respectfully
