Re: Finding Common Names listed in Scientific Name?
I have been looking at the reports and have come up with some discrepencies which I think I know why (for some) but do not know how to sort out.
When I run a report using the wizard specifying a location name I get 537 records.
When I run the same as a query in the database I get the same (537 records). Great!
If I run a Location Summary Report to the same site using the Reports, Run, Site Reports... I get a 116 species count.
When I go to the site in the Location Hierarchy and go to Quick Report, Species Report, Detailed Spp list I get 96 records, i.e. spp count. (Not 116)
In the database when I run a Distinct Count on Taxon_List_Item.Taxon_Version_Key I get 92 records. (Not 116 or 96).
The 4 different records in the last two (92 instead of 96) are down to 4 species being listed in the Recorder reports with their common name also in the Scientific name column. I remember in the past if you typed in the common name it would enter as that when entering data. What I do not know is how to find these to correct them, if I need to to sort out the different figures?
Also, why do I get a different figure between the Site Summary Report (116 spp) and the Detailed Species List report (96 spp). Surely they should be the same? I see in the xml that the Site Summary Report uses Taxon List Item, whilst the Detailed Spp List uses Index Taxon Name. But when I use these in the database I still get the same results from both tables as before i.e. 92 distinct records.
Can anyone shed any light on this one for me please as it has stumped me all afternoon.
Many thanks
