Reporting with Mendix - Failures and Successes Explained

Reporting with Mendix - Failures and Successes Explained

A month or two ago I wrote about using Document Templates for reporting. At that time I was pressed for time and needed to get a few reports in PDF form out the door. I even commented that I had tried to use the Report Pane and OQL built into Mendix but struggled with the process and didn’t really have time to dive into figuring it out. This past week, however, I couldn’t build the reports I needed to do using Data Grids or Document Templates. I went back to OQL feeling confident I could write the syntax to achieve what was needed and after a day and a half of trial and error, I figured it out. I’d like to share what I learned.
