[Report on cover dates]

Bummed. If I can't fully test what I need with the free version, I'm stuck.

With Advance Find, yes. However...

Not all Item #s have a Cover date. Annuals are hit and miss and most Books (especially modern ones) don't. So you may not get a complete list.
NOTE: I have Custom Fields available and have set up one of the Custom Dates to be Publication Date so I could enter a date for all these problem Item #s.

It uses an unsupported 'feature' called ComicTitles.Publisher. You can't select this from the Fields list as it isn't in the Issues Table.
I included QtyInStock to just return Item #s that you own. If you want all, you can remove it.
The date needs to be entered in ISO format (YYYY-MM-MM) and all values need to be used (i.e. 01 instead of just 1).

For a Single Cover Date:
I.QtyInStock >= 1 AND ComicTitles.Publisher = 'Marvel' AND I.CoverDate = '2021-01-01'

For a Range of Cover Dates:
I.QtyInStock >= 1 AND ComicTitles.Publisher = 'Marvel' AND I.Cover Date BETWEEN '2020-01-01' AND '2020-12-31' AND ComicTitles.Publisher = 'Marvel'

Once you get the Find result, select everything (CTRL+A), then Right-click and from the pop-up menu select either Quick Reports or Report Select Titles As (then one of the Report types).

 

That's a bit techie over my head! But I guess you need "advanced find" to use things like "ComicTitles.Publisher" anyway? I sure don't see where to find that.

If you have it, to get to Advanced Find, start a Search (CTRL+F, or click on the magnifying glass in the top center of the window  or use Items->Find...

In the Find drop-down box, when you click it, Advanced Find should be at the bottom. See Attached. If it doesn't show up, then you don't have the correct Edition to use it (I think only Pro and Archive have it).

Well I guess the free version does not have the advanced find. Bummer because I do not want to buy the upgrade until I am satisfied with the software, and this function is important to me. I have the other choices in the drop down box but not the "advanced find".

There is a magnifying glass at the top search bar, click it.  It will open a window with a drop down menu, click it and go to "Advanced Find"

Beyond that, there is a thread at the top of the Tech Support page to help with the syntax to get what you're looking for. 

I can't find the advanced find. When I click the magnifying glass I get a box where you can choose "released this week", and there is a choice for choosing an item field, which is where I can pick "cover date". So I can look up specific cover dates. But it lists EVERYTHING. I don't see an advanced way to choose just "Marvel".

Hi,

Is there a way to create a report listing all the comics published on a specific cover date? And filtered by Marvel?

For instance, if I want to see all Marvel comics with a cover date of January 1975.

Thanks,

Rick

Hi,

Trying to get a feel for the software in the free demo version. I don't see how to edit a comic to indicate that I own it.

Or when I bought it, how much I paid, etc. 

Can someone show me how to do this?

Thanks, Rick
