Total Mileage on Expense Report
« on: June 27, 2012, 07:41:24 pm »
Is there a way to get the total number of miles when using a Mileage Expenditure to show on the expense report?  Currently if you run an expense report it will show the miles for each entry but the grand total for the quantity field is always zero (or excluding mileage if you have other expenses) but for the total field it correctly calculates the total dollar amount..

We don't total quantity as it usually doesn't make sense.  Say that you had a trip that 50 miles, but you also had 2000 nails in your expenses it wouldn't make sense to have a 2050 for the quantity.  It really only makes sense for total time (duration).  What you can do is set a specific expense (e.g. your Mileage expense) and use the CSV export and open that in Excel or Numbers to get totals.  If you don't have the CSV option on that is at Setup -> Reports -> Format and set to "HTML and CSV".
