Fiscal Year in Access

[bgallagher]

I am trying to set up a data access page with a pivot
table. Drill down includes Year, Quarter, Month, and
Day. The table is based on an Access Query. Is there an
easy way to change from calendar year display to fiscal
year display. Fiscal year starts July 1. Any help will
be appreciated, even if I can't change to FY.
Thanks

If it helps, here are a couple of functions I use to extract the fiscal
year and fiscal month for a given date. These functions extract the FY
start month from a Profile table, but you could easily just hard-code
the value 7 (July) instead.

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try and let you know

how it works.

I am trying to set up a data access page with a pivot
table. Drill down includes Year, Quarter, Month, and
Day. The table is based on an Access Query. Is there an
easy way to change from calendar year display to fiscal
year display. Fiscal year starts July 1. Any help will

You might also try this code for fiscal year calculation, and how you'd use
it in a query, similar to Dirk's but a bit simpler:

intFMonth = the First Month of the Fiscal Year
in your case 7 for July

Function FY(dtDateIn As Date, intFMonth As Integer) As String
' ©Arvin Meyer 9/27/1997
On Error Resume Next

Dim intMonth As Integer
Dim intYear As Integer

intMonth = Month(dtDateIn)
intYear = Year(dtDateIn)
If intMonth >= intFMonth Then intYear = intYear + 1
FY = str(intYear)
End Function

The YearToDate would be:

Select DateField From Table1
Where FY([DateField],7)=FY(Date(),7);

A calculation for a full year would depend upon when you ran the query. You
would use:

Between FY([DateField],7) And [The ending date or an expression]
