    1. Re: [TMG] TMG tatistical Reports using Flags

    3. So are you looking for an Excel table that has one row for each person in the database and 24 columns, with the persons' names in the first column and the values of the 23 flags for each person in the 23 columns to the right of his/her name? If so, you will need to assemble a composite table in Excel from three separate TMG List of People reports. The reason you need three TMG reports is because TMG's columnar reports can produce a maximum of 9 columns. So you would make one report with columns set to the principal's name and the first 8 flags, a second report with columns set to name and the second 8 flags, and a third report with columns set to name and the remaining 7 flags. If you wish you can save the three report configurations with different configuration names, so you will not need to recreate the output choices for later uses of the reports. The reason for including the name in the second and third reports is to verify that the rows match up with the correct persons in the first report, as they will if the same people and sort order are used in all three reports. Create the three TMG reports with three different file names using the Save To / File Type / Microsoft Excel choice. Open the first report in Excel. Open the second report in Excel, select the entire rectangle of cells containing data, and copy the cells as a group. Go to the first report and paste into the cell at the top row of data, one cell right of the data from the first report. Compare the names in the first report to those just pasted in from the second report; if they line up identically, delete the name column from the second report. Repeat this process to add the data from the third report into the Excel sheet containing data from the first and second reports. This should give you what you want if I am understanding your goal correctly. -----Original Message----- From: tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alice Eichholz via Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 7:37 AM To: tmg@rootsweb.com Subject: [TMG] TMG tatistical Reports using Flags I can't figure out how to reference the previous question so have posted it and response below.Maybe it is a simple thing.  We have 23 individually coded Flags for each person.  For example, one Flag is for educational performance.(2)  educperf = educational performance – code for the highest completed educational level        1      Missing or insufficient data to code forthis flag                  2      Eighth grade or less 3      Beyondeighth grade, but did not complete high school 4      Highschool graduate or GED 5      Vocational,trade, or business school completed        6      Completed two year college program ornormal school or more        7      Completed four or five year collegeprogram        8      Master’s degree        9      Ph.D., M.D., J.D. or other doctoral degreeIn other words each person would be a row andtheir codes for each of the 23 variables  would go under the appropriate columns to have multipleindividual’s codes in a summative database.Does that give enough information for someone who can point us to how to set up such a  report??

And they can be filtered for various combinations of flags as well as other characteristics of the events or people to be included in the report. If you can be more specific as to what you need to accomplish I think more specific advice could be suggested. -----Original Message----- From: tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alice Eichholz via Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2015 2:37 PM To: tmg@rootsweb.com Subject: [TMG] TMG Statistical Reports using Flags A group of us has been working on a very long-term project in TMG that is tracking coded information in 23 Flags for individuals in three+-generations of multiple families. ?Bob Velky knew of this project and had indicated that when we got to the point of needing to move the data to EXCEL (and from there to SPSS), their office could help us figure out how to do this. ?We are closer to being ready to do this, but are now wondering who else might have done something similar or would be available to help us figure out the Report function to do ?this.Open to any suggestions.Thanks!AliceAlice Eichholz, Ph.D., CGNew Trails!  Alice Eichholz, Ph.D., CGNew Trails!612-339-2738
