Last Gift

Hello everyone,

 

I’m in the process of creating a report that includes everything except a constituent’s blood type L.  One of the components of one of the lists includes a constituent’s last gift.  Is there a way I can really get only the last gift.  This list gives me all gifts and I must sort by date, then delete all but the last gift.  In normal circumstances, this would not be a problem, but I’m creating 60 lists for 6 reports.  HELP!!!

    Thank you, Dale.  We share the database with the LA Opera and unfortunately, I do not have access to the system table.  I’m certain our Stewardship Director doesn’t want soft credits in this report.  She needs most recent gift, date, amount, fund, seat location, # of tickets purchased, and their Donorscape ratings (which also have to be pulled one at a time) in order to get a feel of who she might invite to the after performance reception.

     

    Thank you again for your timely response and willingness to assist!

    Melanye,

    I set up  "last gift date" and "last gift amount" elements in output set builder.  Ours pull data from a local view that includes soft credits but if you don't have one of those you could still just pull from t_contribution - it just won't show soft credits.

    Its pretty easy to set up and I would be glad to share my setup, you would just have to modify it slightly.

    You would need access to the tr_query_element system table.
