How can I use linked records to create scalable reports?



I am trying to build a maintainance databases with “assets”, “maint types” and “log”.


For example…


Assets: red truck, white truck


Maint types: engine oil, etc


Log: date + asset (link) + Maint type (multi-link)



I would like to create a report for each asset & maint type combo when the last date of maintenance was.


I am aware that I can use logic formulas on the “log” and use rollup on the asset to find the latest date in a specific category, but that requires unstable and manual formula creation for each maintenance type.



Goal:


Item, Asset (link), Maint Type (link), Latest Service Date (for this combo)



Here is a read only version of the base…



@W_Vann_Hall I thought this might interest you. I looked at several of your examples and posts, but could not find my solutions… perhaps you have already solved it and I missed it.

Welcome to the community, Drew! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: Your link to a read-only version of the base didn’t come through, possibly because of new-user restrictions in the forum software (or maybe you just didn’t paste it in). Try adding the link in a new comment and see if it takes.



That aside, you might take a look at this setup by @Mike_McLaughlin, which sounds like it’s similar to what you want to achieve, and which might work for your setup with a few tweaks:
