Gifts marked "not acknowledged" are not pulling in report

Jacqueoine Larry

Good Afternoon,

I am relatively new to creating Queries and Reports in Raisers Edge.  I was asked to create a query showing individuals that gave a total of $1000 during a specific period of time.  The query pulled the correct information.  I tried creating a report on this particular query, and found that my totals were not matching.  For one thing it seems that if a gift was marked "not acknowledged" it does not pull in the report.  I'm not sure if there are other things that are being excluded as well, but that was one main thing I noticed.  Is there a way to edit the report settings that it pulls exactly what is in the query.  I like the report because it reads easier and totals the number of contributors.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

What report are you running?  I don't know any reports that filter on acknowledgement status.  Need to know what report you're referring to offer help.

 Gifts and/or constituents marked as anonymous can be excluded from the data.  Other variables are deceased, inactive or lost. Good luck!
