Sales by the hour without headquarters

I am trying to analyze my sales by the hour for each day of the week for a month. That would be very helpful for staffing and setting store hours, but I have been unable to generate a report for that. (Yes, I am not an SQL programmer...) Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,-- Leo

Try adding the following fields to your sales report (you an edit the .QRP file and paste this at the end of the columns section):

Begin Column FieldName = "TransactionHour" DrillDownFieldName = "" DrillDownReportName = "" StoreIDFieldName = "" Title = "Hour Sold" VBDataType = vbString Formula = "replace(str(datepart(hour, [transaction].time),2,0),' ','0') + ':00-' + replace(str(datepart(hour, [transaction].time),2,0),' ','0') + ':59'" ColHidden = False ColNotDisplayable = False FilterDisabled = False ColWidth = 1605 GroupMethod = groupmethodNone ColFormat = "" End Column

Begin Column FieldName = "DayofWeek" DrillDownFieldName = "" DrillDownReportName = "" StoreIDFieldName = "" Title = "Day of the Week" VBDataType = vbString Formula = "STR(DATEPART(dw, [transaction].time),2,0) + ' - ' + CASE DATEPART(dw, [transaction].time) WHEN 1 then 'Sunday' WHEN 2 then 'Monday' when 3 then 'Tuesday' when 4 then 'Wednesday' when 5 then 'Thursday' when 6 then 'Friday' when 7 then 'Saturday' END " ColHidden = False ColNotDisplayable = False FilterDisabled = False ColWidth = 1605 GroupMethod = groupmethodNone ColFormat = "" End Column

You will then be able to sort and group your report by these fields.

Have you looked at the graphs function in POS (Shift-F6)?

First of all, thank for responding.

I am a bit of a novice at this, and so I do not know how to access the .qrp files.

Can you tell me how to navigate to them>

Thanks,

WEll, I have navigated to the files now. I found them in the c drive, program folders, RMS, Reports, if anyone else had the same problem.
