RE: [Summary-Talk] comparing reports automatically

["Lisa Walley" <l.walley@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have 168 customised reports each analysing different sub-sites within of our website. We would like to rank the sub-sites based on the number of visits and/or total page hits to each site. What we would like to be able to do is to automatically generate/export values of total visits (and/or total page hits) from each subsite into a single spreadsheet format, so that we can rank them and generate visual graphics to present the results. Basically we are trying to avoid manual data entry into a spreadsheet.

On the subject of spreadsheets I understand from an earlier correspondence with you that "Summary Plus and SP can also provide reports in text format or spreadsheet format". We are currently using Summary SP 2.3.10 is there instructions in the manual or help files on how to access the spreadsheet formats? I am unclear how to generate these formats and could not find any further information on it.

Many thanks,
Lisa

I am unclear on what you are trying to do. What are you trying to find 
out when you say: "list visits from all reports"? Visits are reported on 
in several different ways in Summary. There may already be a report that 
shows what you are interested in. That said, there isn't any way to 
compare results from different reports other than opening both reports in 
separate windows at the same time and comparing them visually.
