Asset Value Report

[Terry1337]

Is there a report to sum the asset values in Lansweeper? We are looking to get a total value of IT assets for insurance purposes.

Since the custom fields are all text (varchar), you'll need to convert to a numeric data type in order to do any math.

Normally, you aggregate things across groupings of some sort. You don't have to, of course, but for illustration purposes I'm going to do it across make and model.

Select Top 1000000
  tblAssetCustom.Manufacturer,
  tblAssetCustom.Model,
  Count(*) AS count,
  Sum(Cast(tblAssetCustom.Custom1 As float)) As cost
From
  tblAssets
  Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
Where
  tblAssetCustom.State = 1
  And IsNumeric(tblAssetCustom.Custom1) = 1
Group By
  tblAssetCustom.Manufacturer,
  tblAssetCustom.Model

The magic is in the type conversion. Instead of adding tblAssetCustom.Custom1 to your report, add Cast(tblAssetCustom.Custom1 As float). Once you've got that, you can apply the aggregate functions to it.

I'm with StevoCamaro: I don't see a cost field on the assets. You'll need to be more specific. Did you designate one of the custom fields for cost? If not, if there definitely is a cost field, can you identify the table it's in and, hopefully, the field name? Failing that, describe the page you're filling the value in on and where it sits relative to others, or possibly include a screen-capture.

I stand corrected. I am using the top field which probably was custom 1 under the assets right hand column. I should have noted the changes I made to the field. That said is there a way to sum the asset field field 1 or my field name cost?

I don't know of anything like in the report section, nor are there leasing cost/term/vendor fields for a report.

Purchase date is great, but without a capital cost value, how can you calculate the annual CCA on assets???

You could edit a custom field name on the asset page, enter the purchase value, then report on the custom field.

I have been filling in the field for cost. I thought there might be a way to simply sum the cost values even though it would not be a current value of the assets. I am just looking for a value of assets in the case they would need to be replaces in a total destruction of our location.
