    Calculation Fields referring to previous record

    Hello, I'm trying to determine the best way to set up a running calculation that uses previous records as the base. Imagine, for example, 4 players play a game for the first time. The base score all players start with is 5000. During that game, Player 1 gains 100, Player 2 gains 50, Player 3...

    Modification Dates

    Hello, I have - a series of join files for interrelated databases (using FM 5.5). Here's the situation. One of the fields is an 'average' which averages all the occurences that meet a certain criteria (specifically, the person's name and the game name). Consequently, all the occurences for...

    Can values be 'ranked?'

    Assuming that I have a record with a portal. In the portal are values from 5 users -- their names and their scores (which means, 5 record in the join table). Is there a way to have the values RANKED - i.e., I'd like to have another field; calculation, I assume, that would 'rank' the values in...

    Better questions re: FM - need help with relations (?)

    I’m in the process of converting over a large (40mb) Excel spreadsheet into a FM database. This is the data for my boardgaming group and all related stats. I found – online – this program (http://www.goldraven.com/GameTracker/GT.html). However (1) it hasn’t been updated in 3-5 years; (2) it’s...
