Hi all

I have a pretty simple report with two tables. A candidate detail (Learners) table and the table recording all planned contact with the candidate (Reviews)
 
"Learners" is linked to "Reviews" by an ID number
 
Now I need to quality check these "Reviews" are entered at correct intervals (every 6wks).   At the moment I am using a simple formula that tells me how many weeks the review is after the start date (@difference)...so this reads 6,12,18,24 etc
 
I want to either highlight when the gap is not 6 weeks (greater or less) OR have the formula say that the review is planned X number of weeks after the last one.
 
The detail line on the report has the Planned Review Date & the @difference fields on... like I say, very basic but with the amount of pages to check through we need something to highlight incorrect intervals & it has me stumped
 
Might be the fact I just come back from a three week holiday but I cant get the calculation right in my head!
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated

There'll be a better way than this using next/prev functions but I don't have time to post it at the min.

 
You could calculate if the difference is an exact multple of 6 and perform conditional formatting based on the result.
 
{@difference}/({@difference}/6)
 
If this field isn't equal to 6 then it means the planned deadline isn't a multple of 6. You can apply conditional formatting if the field doesn't equal 6.
 
If that's sufficient let me know, if not I'll write you a more complex next/prev formula when  I have time.
 
Regards,
Ryan.

Hi Ryan thanks for the reply. 
 
However, that calculation always equal 6 no matter what number is in the @difference field.
 
Cheers

My bad, forgot to put a round in there....

{@difference}/round({@difference}/6,0)
 
Try that...
