Thanks, Yes, that would possibly explain it. I was assuming it was a moment view, so that if I run a report on a Monday night, it would give me a report on what was out that day. Items very, very rarely get issued more than once a day. I am still a bit puzzled though. Is there anywhere an explanation about the reports, that is about the only part of Koha that keeps confusing me. I always can go into Mysql and do queries there if needed, but I like the reports idea.

When I do a report on 'issues by category' I get a total of 1466 items. A note here; I only get results if I don't check the branch - we have only one branch, main, and if I do check that, I get only zero's. So, if I don't check that I get a total of 1466 items issued.
We have a total of 6627 items. When I do a report on 'books not issued' it comes up with a total of 5700. Maybe I am all wrong, but in my world, 6627 - 5700 = 927, not 1466. (Total minus items not issued is number of items issued)
So, is my thinking wrong or is there something wrong with the report? And what can I do about it? Is there any way to test it?
Thanks,
Marty
Hi, Sorry to answer that late. Maybe I am misunderstanding, but, the fact is that sometimes, one book can be issued many times. So that if you have issued 10 times Harry Potter, then it is counted as 10 issues. But only one item was issued. Would not that be a good explanation ? -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
