Is it possible to do multiple NL(Sheets) functions in a single workbook? I am trying to create a report that will do a new tab for each G/L account and each Global Dimension 1. If not, does anyone have an idea of how I can create a tab for each of these filters?
Thanks,
Joy

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hi Joy,
It is possible to do multiple NL(sheets) functions within a workbook, but not within a single sheet. It's not possible to nest NL(Sheets) the way you do NL(Rows). So you could put an NL(Sheets) function for the G/L accounts on one worksheet and an NL(Sheets) for the Global Dimension 1 Code on another worksheet. However, you will only get one list of all the Global Dimension 1 codes, not a list of global dimension 1 codes that apply to each account. Is that what you are looking for? Or are you trying to get a list of global dimension 1 codes that applies to each account on a separate sheet?

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hi Hughes,
I was looking to get a separate sheet for each global dimension 1 code that applies to each account on a separate sheet. So if I have 2 values in global dimension 1 and 5 G/L accounts, I want to end up with 10 sheets. I am assuming I will need to either create a separate report for each global dimension 1 value or each G/L account to get it to work as I want.
Thanks,

Well it is possible to do what you want. It's just a bit more complicated. You can use a calculated field to combine the values of the G/L Account number and Global Dimension 1 Code like this:=NL("Sheets","G/L Account","=NF(,""No."")&""|""&NF(,""Global Dimension 1 Code"")")
Then you could use NP(Split) to split out the actual values for account number and dimension code like this (assuming that the NL(Sheets) function is in cell C5):=NL("First",NP("Split",C5,"|")) =NL("Last",NP("Split",C5,"|"))
Calculated fields can be quite slow, so this probably won't run super fast, but it should accomplish what you want in one report. Does this work for you?

Jet Reports Historic Posts I decided to do a conditional hide for hidesheet. I think it will process faster than using calculated fields. Thanks for your help!

I'm curious how you plan to get the sheets in order to hide them. Where will you replicate the sheets from without a calculated field? I'm just curious how you will get the sheets replicated in the first place.
