How do I use customized fields in reports?

[Evie]

I created a custom cost field that is a formula (Baseline * percentage) . I
would like to use my new custom field (COST 1) for the Cash Flow report, but
I can't find a way to specify which field is picked up for cost. Can I use a
custom field in reports?

You can add COST1 to the table that is specified in the Cash Flow
report, or create a table with COST1 in it, and any other columns you
want. Then specify that table in the report.

davegb, Thanks for your reply. I'm still having trouble, and maybe I'm just
not seeing what you mean. In the cash flow report, I don't see any place to
specify what table provides the information -- and I've changed almost every
table in an effort to print out the information I'm looking for.

How do you "specify a table in the report"?

Thank you!

I should add: I think I know where you mean to specify the COST 1 field --
but the custom fields don't appear in the drop down box where I'd like to
select them. Any ideas? Am I working off the wrong table?

My mistake, Evie. In the Cash Flow report, you don't get to choose
custom fields. You'd have to figure out how to get what you want in one
of the fields available in the report, like Cost. Or use a different
report which does allow you to select a table.
