Dat tag for changing period attendance/class expression

[koleszarh]

Hello,

I'm using MBA Reports to create an absence letter for parents to be able to see how many absences a student has for a particular period.  Unfortunately, our class expressions vary.  For most students, using this dat code produces the amount of unexcused absences in the report:  {{dat.(per.att;A(1-7);A;Q1)}}

For students that have a different class expression, representing a class that doesn't meet every day, such as: 

B(1,3-4,7)

it will not pull the amount of absences unless I enter the exact class expression.  Is there a wildcard I'm missing somewhere?  I've tried B(*), B(%), B(), B and I can't get it to work with the dat code above.  Any help would be appreciated so I don't have to manually enter specific class expressions for each student!

Thank you!

Hi @koleszarh 

We recommend contacting the MBA Support Team who should be able to assist you further with the report.

Thank you for that suggestion, I did reach out to MBA and they said they don't have anything to do with Powerschool Dat tags.  I ended up just doing specific class expressions for specific students.  Thank you so much for your advice.
