Generate report and mysterious value

Hi everyone! I am generating the report and at the top of the list comes out a number, which i may think its the total of objects in the model, as seen here below.

Senza titolo

I want to know how to get rid of it because its not useful for me at all, but i cant see where or why is this coming out on the report

this is the template im using:

even if i open the empty file (only with our beloved Heather)
it comes out like this :

3

Can you attach the file?
(With the report saved to it)

dyc:name is common to other members like model and heather, despite it being null, one needs to group by attribute that is specific to the reported members.

I think this should be fixed, as I see null as a non reportable value

Using your previous tube example:

pipe quanities only.skp (68.8 KB)

with any sizes (metric), not only set the units, but initially expose as read only and set units, then hide again, as report based on inches unless changed

Here it is, its an empty file with the report saved to it, as you can see, it counts “1” anyway.

report.skp (127.0 KB)

this would work nicely, but sadly i have 500 components with the name inserted like this, so i guess im just going to fix it in excel after i export it haha

UPDATE: I tried to change the attribute name, instead of using “name” itself, and stills…
I think the problem is the “quantity”, because i tried to add it to your example of pipes and it happens again,so im going to add also quantity as a different attribute and let you know

This really should be fixed, i cant happen that the attributes filters that come with the report by default doesnt work well…

This is what I do, a macro in excel to process and clean up my import, good for adding sheet formatting as well.

Thats the best option i think, sadly in just diving into macros too (my dad told me 10 years ago: learn excel, and i didnt hear haha). If you would be so kind to share any example i would be delighted!

You can just record the steps of a macro in Excel, then edit the code if required.

WOW i didnt know this was possible, thanks!

In conclusion, what i made was to add the attributes i want to count, thanks to the help you all gave me and the examples sent by PCMOOR.

It was a long journey as a have to edit all the components i have (almost 500, and counting, i havent finished yet) but for the sake of order i think it worth it.

so i added one for the quantity, as the quantity filter of the report it self let that blank space.
Thank you all !

You can use also Atmaca Report Entities plugin for report your components, groups and materials. It’s totaly free.
