OEE report in report builder need advice

Do you have any experience in Access? When a report gets this
complicated I usually like to dump the data in Access where I can
create multiple queries to filter what I want and don't want and
perform grouping and summation functions on data before trying to
link them into a report. If you have some experience and want some
tips on how to get going on this let me know and I'll do what I can.
If you don't, you may want to take some classes, I find that Access
is a very powerful reporting and data-mining tool.

I'm back after a few days of hacking my through a report that is
close, but not close enough for my engineering taste. I need to see
all the open jobs and operation sequences scheduled on each work
center for a given day. I need to be able to get labor detail
information and sum multiple labor entries for multiple jobs and
sequences from the LabrDtl table with out loosing data in the JobOper
table on jobs that ran that day without dropping the jobs that didn't
run.

I have tried to write the report from both the LabrDtl and the JobOpr
table but have not found the ideal set if Links and filters that will
allow me to capture all the open jobs and labor information without
dropping data. My best attempt so fare is based out of the LabrDtl
table with a link to the JobOper table.

It's almost impossible for someone to answer this plea with out
looking at the report. Would anyone be interested in looking at the
report and giving me some ideas? or just fix it.

Does any one know of a report that gives similar data that I might be
able to dig into and learn a new direction?

Does any one know if Corvu has an OEE module/report/interface?

Thanks

Jim

As a side note: I just want to thank this user group for all the
information and help you have given me. It has been a well of
knowledge in a desert without a maintenance contract and hence no
help screens.
Two suggestions without looking at it:
1. Use of Left Outer joins to preserve jobs that have no LaborDtl info (will return ? for fields in LaborDtl).
2. I find it useful for sorting & grouping in some cases where there will be unknown components in the ordering to build an artificial field mad eup of the parts (in order) that need to be sorted and grouped on.

If these don't help I wouldn't mind taking a look at it because it might have some application here - so your head start could be helpful to me.

(Vantage 6.1)

I'm back after a few days of hacking my through a report that is
close, but not close enough for my engineering taste. I need to see
all the open jobs and operation sequences scheduled on each work
center for a given day. I need to be able to get labor detail
information and sum multiple labor entries for multiple jobs and
sequences from the LabrDtl table with out loosing data in the JobOper
table on jobs that ran that day without dropping the jobs that didn't
run.

I have tried to write the report from both the LabrDtl and the JobOpr
table but have not found the ideal set if Links and filters that will
allow me to capture all the open jobs and labor information without
dropping data. My best attempt so fare is based out of the LabrDtl
table with a link to the JobOper table.

It's almost impossible for someone to answer this plea with out
looking at the report. Would anyone be interested in looking at the
report and giving me some ideas? or just fix it.

Does any one know of a report that gives similar data that I might be
able to dig into and learn a new direction?

Does any one know if Corvu has an OEE module/report/interface?

Thanks
