Mixes format reporting

Question

Need to report 3 components in a chromatogram in terms of weight percent. I accomplish this easily through calibrations and the #ESTD report format. But need a 4th component reported as area% and do not see the way to do this. I am a new user and would appreciate any input.

Hello again, I see the report you've uploaded. The fourth component is not labeled, which indicates that it hasn't been given a name in the calibration table. In order to modify the template for classic report so that the Area % is shown in your report, ensure that the Intelligent Reporting option in the instrument configuration is off. To do this, close any open sessions of ChemStation, then launch the OpenLAB Control Panel, in the configuration for the instrument being used for this task. Right-click on the instrument and select “Configure Instrument”: The instrument configuration includes an option to “Enable Intelligent Reporting,” which for what you're trying to do should be turned off; i.e., the checkbox below should be cleared: Click OK to save this change, then start your ChemStation again, navigate to the Report Layout view and load the exstd.frp template: In the template, scroll down to the General section and double-click on the grey rectangle: add Main Peak Area % from the Not Printed Columns to the Printed Columns above Compound Name by selecting it: Do the same thing (except it's called Area %) for the grey rectangle in the General/Cal. Signals section: Importantly, once these additions are made, save the template with a new name. Don't overwrite the exstd.frp template. Call the new one something like EXSTD Area Percent.frp: To add this new report to the list of selectable styles when you generate a report, go to File > Add to Report Styles. It is exceedingly advisable that you use the exact same name as the .frp file you just saved: Finally, navigate back to Data Analysis, open Report > Specify report and choose your new style under Styles: Then, select Report > Print report and you should see the new Area % columns in the report. Please let us know if this results in what you were looking to do.
