How to Run Tables in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 RTC or NAV 2013

As a consultant who is not a developer, it has frustrated me to not be able to “Run Tables” as I used to do from the Dynamics NAV Classic Client Object Designer. I frequently need to Run Tables for diagnostic and analysis purposes. I then figured out a very simple solution.

Example:

You want to make a list of all of the Production Output for a period of time. To do this, you need to see all of the Item Ledger Entries in the system and then filter on Entry Type = “Output” and a Date Range.

From any Item Card, drill down on Quantity on Hand:

Figure 1 – From any Item Card, drill down on Quantity on Hand

This will give you a list of the Item Ledger Entries for the current item:

Figure 2 – List of Item Ledger Entries for the current item

To see all of the Item Ledger Entries in the system remove the Item No. filter:

Figure 3 – Remove the Item No. filter to see all the items

Then set filters to get the information that you are looking for. In this example, I have set the Entry Type to “Output” to create a list of all of the Production Output:

Figure 4 – Set the filters to get the information of interest

You can then export this list to Excel.

I hope that this was helpful.
