Why did new report builder not translate logic from old report builder?
A previous report logic is not working in new report builder. I have, so far, been able to duplicate the logic of the old report filtering using the new report builder
How does everyone feel about the new report builder?

You might want to see this thread (not terribly positive):
-
1) The new report builder is not recognizing all of the logic from the old report builder. This is now causing problems in our dashboards. I find that to correct it, I have to go into each report and complete the filter criteria.
We have more than 40 dashboards and many reports. This is a major undertaking. Is there a way to get the system to recognize the logic?
2) In the former report structure, you could run it and it would tell you the total number of items. Now, I find I need to scroll down to see the total. Would rather the new report builder would go back to telling me rather than having to go and find the total.
-
The change to the new Report Builder has significantly damaged the usability of our established reports. Many filters were not retain in the transfer to the new Report Builder. Therefore the reports are no longer displaying correctly.
-
It looks like the new report builder doesn't let you filter by Current User. Am I missing something?
-
Fortunately, it does.
If you select the Has options, you'll see the Current User in the list of selections.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
