sure, the effort in providing that kinda behaviour doesn't seem worth it

 that's why I didn't like not being able to test it, but still I
shouldn't have made that mistake

I would be really happy ( and grateful ) if you committed as I don't
have any cws anywhere near 'Ready For QA' 


I have made the changes above and will attach the latest version to the
issue.

Thanks again

Re: [dba-dev] Formula in Sun-Report-builder ("DateDiff360")

[Ocke Janssen]

Moin Mechtilde,

sorry for the long delay.

Hello,
*I try it again*

I want to create a report for a calculation with data from database.

there I need a funktion which calculate the different between the actual
datum and the datum from the entry before (you know it as date diff).

The special Problem is that I need it with the 360 day method (so call
in Germany) for interest calculation.

Can anyone give me a hint to find more information about such things?
  
Currently the days360 function is not supported by the report engine. 
The formula engine is developed outside from Pentaho. So best would be 
to submit an issue and assign it to me. I'll contact the owner and may 
be create a patch for it.


Best regards,

Ocke


The informations in the wiki doesn't help me futher.

In Calc there is such a funktion. But it is not an effective way to do
it there. It is not pacticable to print 18 colums on a page also in
landscape.

In the sun-Report-Builder allows me to put a record in more than one row.

Regards

Mechtilde
