    Posted: 31 Jan 2014 at 10:33am
Hello All,
 
I have data something like this
 
ID Line Status Date
100 1 Started 1/1/2014
100 2 Inprogress 1/2/2014
100 3 sent 1/3/2014
100 4 fulfilled 1/4/2014
100 5 Received  1/5/2014
100 6 sent 1/6/2014
100 7  fulfilled 1/10/2014
100 8 closed 1/11/2014
 
I need to report the date when status went to "inprogress" and the last day when status turned to fulfilled.
 
In the above scenerio I want the data to be displayed like this
 
ID     Date in Inprogress        Last day it fulfilled
100       1/2/2014                        1/10/2014
 
I have no clue where to start inorder to display data like this.Please help.
 
Thanks,
chand

try this
first group on id
create 2 formulas
@inprogress
if STATUS = "inprogress" THEN DATE
@fulfilled
IF STATUS ="fulfilled" THEN DATE

2 SUMMARIES
@fulfilled2
maximum(@fulfilled,id)

@inprogress2
maximum(@inprogress,id)

place the summaries into group heather or footer

It worked perfect thank !!!
 
however when I want to display next date after fulfilled at the group level which means in this case it is 1/11/2014
 
I tried the same formula with little changes
 
@fulfilled
IF STATUS ="fulfilled" THEN next (DATE )
 
but when I use summary formula its giving me an error
 
@fulfilled2
maximum(@fulfilled,id)

It says "@fulfilled " can't be summarized.

this is kind of tricky
you could try
formula like
if (DATE ) = @fulfilled2 then next((DATE))
then you add this new formula to record sort expert in
descending order place it into group footer and it should show the correct value.

Here are the formulas which I used
 
@fulfilled
IF STATUS ="fulfilled" THEN next (DATE )
 
@fulfilled2
maximum(@fulfilled,id)

@next_date
 
if (DATE ) = @fulfilled2 then next((DATE))
when I put @nextdate in GF its displays as blank and more over I am not able to see @next_date formula in record sort expert.

is the status of the item you wish to display always = 'closed' as in your example? Or are some closed but not fulfilled, or others fulfilled and not closed?

its not always closed it could be some thing else and moreover 'Closed' is not always last record.The above is just an example. Lets look at different scenerio
 
ID Line Status Date
100 1 Started 1/1/2014
100 2 Inprogress 1/2/2014
100 3 sent 1/3/2014
100 4 fulfilled 1/4/2014
100 5 Received  1/5/2014
100 6 sent 1/6/2014
100 7  fulfilled 1/10/2014
100         8               Auth. sent 1/11/2014
100         9               Closed       1/12/2014

try using a running total with an evaluate formula
name = whatever you want
field to summarize=date
type=maximum
evaluate= use a formula
previous(status)='fulfilled'
reset = on change of group
