What I am trying to achieve: a list of all job operations with associated hours and costs. It should include operations with zero hours/cost. I can do this with the JobOper table.
My problem: the JobOper table numbers include Entered, Submitted, and Approved hours/cost. I only want to see Approved hours.
Attempted resolution: I wrote a subquery using the LaborDtl table and filtered it on the TimeStatus field. This allowed me to sync the operations to the approved transactions.
My next problem: once I added the subquery, I am no longer seeing results for operations with zero hours. As silly as it sounds, we need to see this because our project managers are using this report to copy & paste those numbers into an offline template in Excel.
And now I’m stuck 
Hoping someone can help me!
Edited to add: my report writing skills are currently limited to BAQ Reports, but definitely open to other suggestions!
