Subject: Newbie question - List of People increasing number of columns?
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 16:28:53 +0100


Hi,

I read this list with great interest although much of it still goes over my
head!

I've just discovered that I can export data from TMG into Excel rather than
maintain my Excel spreadsheet myself. I'm using the List of People report
but it only has 9 columns, is there any way of increasing this number? Or
can anyone tell me a better report to use?

I'm trying to export a list of everyone in my dataset. Ideally I would like
it in generation order e.g. me first, then my parents and then all my aunts
and uncles followed by my grandparents and then all their brothers and
sisters, next my great grandparents etc. I appreciate to do this I might
need to add my only numbering flag and sort by that, is there any data
within TMG I could use instead?

The data I then want to export is whether or not I have the birth, marriage,
death certificates and the relevant census entries. I have already set up
flags for these.

Within Excel I would expect to see something like:

NameBirthMarriageDeath1901189118811871
186118511841
MeY??NNNN
NNN

MumYY?NNNN
NNN
DadYY?NNNN
NNN

UncleYY?NNNN
NNN


GrandparentYYYYNNN
NNN


In this instant N=N/A but I don't seem to be able to set this value as a
flag.

I hope you can understand what I'm getting at. The data I need is well
within the page width limits but I can only have 9 columns. OK, it's not
the end of the world if I have to manually add the last two columns but I
wondered if there was a way to avoid this.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Cheers
Kelly
