I tried to run this as the VP. It would not let me choose just the current month. I had to choose 2 months (from Aug 1 to Sept 30). However, the president was able to run this as just the current month (Sept.)
Try changing the end date first.
There seems to be some confusion in my chapter about what the TYFCB column actually contains. Some state that it is the amount of business you've given and few of us believe it is the amount you've been thanked for.
After reviewing my submitted TYFCB, which clearly stated TYFCB Given and the running and looking at the PALMS report for myself and another member to whom I gave TYFCB, it seems that the PALMS report TYFCB column is the amount of $ the member has been thanked for, not what they have given others.
Confirmation would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Jean-Narc,
Unfortunately I have not received a response.
Hi Jan
So I actually spoke to my Chapter's director on the phone and your assumption is correct: the tyfcb that appears on the line beside a person's name is indeed the amount of business they have been thanked for.
Hope that helps!

Hello,
I am still confused here with this one,
I have given about 30k in business to one member of our chapter who has zero in their TYFCB or am I reading this totally the wrong way round and these figures will appear under my totals?
I too as a new member have been learning more at this as well. Here is what I have found as it reflects to the PALMS score and the principal of TYFCB.
TYFCB is a members record of the amount of money that has been actual closed on from a referral generated in BNI from a member. For example if I refer my mother to the realtor in my chapter to sell her home (outside referral) and the realtor sales the home. The amount of commission from that sale would be what the realtor would report TYFCB to me.
Now on to the PALMS score. The only way that money shows up in my score is if the realtor records the TYFCB in BNI connect. Leading to your value contribution to the BNI network.
Hence Givers Gain
Hi Jan Wilson,
I'm a new member in BNI and a new VP and had this very question. I was wondering if you had received confirmation on this? It is something that has been confusing me.
Thanks!

Trying to get a suspended chapter PALMS report and I get a blank page.
Also looking to get a former member's stats from a dropped chapter, can't seem to find that.
Thanks
