Ledger display

Sundara Manikandan

Hi,

I have attached a sample report format I have to print.

I have declared a variable and populate it at the start of the report for (A).

My reports first page is ok.

But I cannot find a way to derive the values of (B ) and to carry it to the next page and the consecutive pages.

The value of (B ) may be either Debit or Credit.

Please advice in this regard as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Hai,

I have not yet started with the report.

Here is my DB structure.

1. Date
2. Code.(Foreign Key connecting to the account name)
3. DebitBalance
4. CreditBalance.
5. Details.

I wanted to know if this is possible as this is the standard format of ledger in our part of the world or is there any other way to accomplish this.

My Idea:

1. Declare two variables for the debit and credit balances.

2. Do the processing for the Opening balance(from 01.04 till date of report) and if the value is debit, populate the debit balance variable and hide the credit balance variable and vise versa.

3. At the page footer, total both the variable and the column values (This I have not tried yet) and add another field to get the value of credit minus debit or vise versa.

Upto this, I am somewhat clear. But from the second page onwards,

4. I have to bring the balance (credit minus debit or debit minus credit) as balance brought forward (it may be debit or credit). - This I have absolutely no idea as how to accomplish and then at the page footer, I have to do the same calculation (a. debit variable + debit column, b. credit variable + credit column and if a > b, a-b should be assigned to the balance column else b-a should be assigned.

Is this possible:

1. Data column is the same for all pages.
2. The opening balance comes only in the first page as debit or credit.
3. The closing balance of the first page should be carried over to the second page and so on.

I think this is clear enough. I don't usually start working unless I get a clear picture of the situation. That is why I have not still started working with the report.

Thanks for reading this long post and I hope there will be a way to accomplish this.

Sorry, I cannot provide the complete guide on how to make this report. Here are some (basic) suggestions:
- use totals that never reset (running totals). http://fast-report.com/documentation/UserM...nningtotals.htm
- or, use manual calculation using private variables (declared in the report code). In the band's BeforePrint event, you may increment the variable with the debit/credit value.

I will give this a try and if I get into any problem, I will mail back with a sample report.


Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for guiding me in the right direction. I am working on the report and shall send the same in a short while.

In the mean time, how shall I print the page footer at the end of the data band ( It prints at the end of page ) since I am writing the script to calculate the balance at the page footer.


Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,

I have to print the report footer after the databand ((not at the end of page if data is less than a page, but at the end of page if the data is more than one page) I cannot use the data summary).

Is this possible ?

Hello,

PageFooter is always printed at the very bottom of a page. You may use the ColumnFooter band or DataFooter band (in the latter case, you need to set its option RepeatOnEveryPage to true).
