Hi everyone,

I currently have an Aged HT report that puts counts in the standard Aged
buckets that Crystal provides.  Works great as you would expect.  Now I have
a request to create a report that covers only 30 days but has a series of 5
day buckets, i.e. 0-5 days, 6-10 days, 11-15 days, etc.   Of course those
buckets don't exist in Crystal.

I'm not the greatest on formulas and I've been trying to get my arms around
what the formula would be but I guess I just don't get it.  I don't want to
have to put actual dates in.  So basically a bucket represents the number of
open tickets and counting how many of them have been open 0,1,2,3,4 and 5
days for the first bucket.  So I guess on each row I need to calculate how
many days the ticket has been open.  So would that formula be Today - Date
Submitted with the result in days.

So you would end up with a number on each row representing how many days
it's been open.  Hopefully this is valid thinking so far.

So how do I get it to count all the 0,1,2,3,4 and 5's at one time to get the
bucket value?  I think grouping would be involved but I don't know how to
define that.

The report in general represents the last 30 days and I think there is a
date range parameter I can choose for that to define the selection of
records.

I've looked at the Crystal support site and find some info on Aged but if
it's telling me how to do this I'm not grasping it.

I really need help in simple, basic terms.  I've been working on these off
and on for days and have a little brain scarring occurring so please be
gentle.

Appreciate your help in advance .... could be worth a drink(s) at RUG ... I
can bring cheese too!

Thanks,
Susan
