I have managed to recreate in simple form a report. I'm trying to move this method (tables to report) from an msoffice solution to something a little more accessible on standard client machines. That said, I've embarked on Wordpress/wpDataTables/Forminator/WPBakery as a solution.
In order to present the data correctly, I have multiple billing incidents under a single person and group by wasn't having the desired effect. I built a quick function for search through sql into two tables and have presented thusly. However, the drawback that I have at the moment is print options are only available on a single table, or as a web page (firefox menu print) which cuts off at all the wrong places. I noticed you have a reports plugin that works alongside wpDataTables. My questions is, will this plugin solve my issue of displaying records as depicted in the attached image? I would like to develop this approach into a broad reaching solution for similar projects. Thanks for your time.
If I understood correctly, you want both tables from the screenshot to be printed, correct? This can't be done with the table tools, nor with the Report Builder.
The "Report Builder" add-on can only use one table as the source, so you wouldn't be able to combine these two tables into one through the builder. What you would need to do is join these two tables into one table using a custom query, and then use that table as the source for the Report Builder.
