    Hi Tconolan 

     

    Thats great news.

     

    It is not possible to do ranges on a text field (Postal). 

     

    The like filter can be to show more post codes if similar eg.    Like *28*     This should show all postcodes from 2800 to 2899 but could also accidently include any street numbers with 28 at the start.

     

    The above is the best I can offer.  You may need multiple reports or alternatively export the report to Excel and apply filters there.

Hi Tconolan 

 

It is not possible to add Postcode to the report but there is a workaround you can use.

 

If you add the field Postal to the report (which includes the postcode) you could then use a Like filter on this field.

 

Eg. Like *3000* to find all the clients with a Post code of 3000

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Nicky

 

I have tried and it works for one postcode. Is it possible to do a range of post codes eg 2800 to 2899?

      Thanks Nicky

      I did that and got the result you mentioned.

      I will export to excel and filter in there. 

      Thanks again.

      Tony.
