Number Of Years A Donor

 

Syntax

NumYrsADonor( <nStartingYear> )

 

Purpose

To retrieve the number of years a donor has been donating. Note that this is the total number of years in which any giving occurred, not necessarily the number of consecutive years in which giving occurred.

 

Parameters

<nStartingYear> is an optional starting year. It defaults to all years.

 

Returns

A count of the number of years in which giving occurred.

 

Usage

On DonorQuest reports and data exports, NumYrsADonor() can be used to retrieve a count of the number of years a donor has had any giving at all. You may optionally specify a starting year. For example, to determine the number of years in which a donor had giving starting in 2001, you would use NumYrsADonor() like this:

 

NumYrsADonor( 2001 )
