How Do I

• Change a Numeric Field to Alpha, but still retain

the ability to SUBTOTAL?

• Change a Filter to be Automatic?

• Change the definition of a Year so that it does not necessarily begin on January 1st?

• Display negative numbers as positive, but retain the value as negative for Subtotals, Styling, etc.

Potions

What Magic Wand Will

• Dynamically Generate and Prompt for Possible Filters (showing the expression)

• Show the Selected Filter(s) in the Report Heading, but no extra blank lines

• Create “flat” HOLD files without extra trailing blanks, and usable even if not in correct sort order

• Transform .mht files so I can use Templates

The Rabbit In the Hat -- McGyver

How Do I

• Use ACROSS Year, but show different verb objects for each across value

• List

• Details sorted within several different Dimensions

• Subtotals of each value in the lower Dimension
