Troubleshooting: SP_REPORT BalanceSheetStandard report error "[QODBC] At least one field requested requires DateFrom to be set."

Problem Description:

I am running BalanceSheetStandard through QODBC Test Tool, and & it is returning the below error.

When I run this query as the following in QODBC Test Tool, it will report the error "[QODBC] At least one field requested requires DateFrom to be set" sp_report BalanceSheetStandard show Text, Label, Amount, AmountPreviousYear parameters DateMacro = 'All,' SummarizeColumnsBy = 'Day,' ReturnColumns = 'All.'  

Solutions:

As per QuickBooks, you can't use "DateMacro = 'All'" and the field "AmountPreviousYear" at the same time. If you want to display the field "AmountPreviousYear," the parameter "DateMacro = 'All'" is inappropriate.

You can verify the same by running the same report through QuickBooks & choosing DateMacro to All, and you will notice that the Previous Year options are disabled.

But when you choose the Dates as others expect "All," the field "Previous Year" is enabled.   

To resolve this issue, either you have to remove the field "AmountPreviousYear" from a query, or you have to change the parameter "DateMacro" to others except "All," such as "This month." Please refer to the below query:

sp_report BalanceSheetStandard show Text, Label, Amount parameters DateMacro = 'All', SummarizeColumnsBy = 'Day', ReturnColumns = 'All'

sp_report BalanceSheetStandard show Text, Label, Amount, AmountPreviousYear parameters DateMacro = 'ThisMonth', SummarizeColumnsBy = 'Day', ReturnColumns = 'All'

Please refer to the below-mentioned article. You can get detailed information about how to execute sp_report in QODBC:
