Opportunity Reports not working correctly

[trottler@boardeffec…]

Every opportunity report that I run shows no or wrong results. For example I run the "Sales Analysis by Record Manager" for the current year and no results show up.

We have a lot of data in ACT and we wanted to start running reports but all the results seem very unreliable?

Any suggestions?

With all due respect, in my experience when there is problems using the oppertunity reports the causes are problems with the way the oppertunities are entered and closed or with the report filter settings. On the report you mentioned, what are the filter settings you used.

[trottler@boardeffec…]

The funny part is that the total number of opportunities is 50 and nothing shows up?

[Roy_Laudenslager]

Are you creating oppertunities without connecting tham to contact records?

[trottler@boardeffec…]

No, all of our opportunities are assigned to a contact record.

Without checking the database, I can't make any further suggestions, Have you tried any of the oppertunity reports using the demo databse?

[trottler@boardeffec…]

Yes, I run "Won Opportunities by  Actual Closing Month" and it looked fine.

[Roy_Laudenslager]

Was that in the demo database or your database?

[trottler@boardeffec…]

I also run the report on the demo database and it worked fine.

Had you modified the Sales Analysis report?
