Is there a way to do an 'inexact' match lookup in Access as is
possible in Excel? For instance, in Excel, you can create a table
showing the starting dates of fiscal periods (which may or may not be
the same as the calendar months). You can then do a lookup on a
particular date and if it's greater than value A but less than value
B, Excel will return value A, even though the date passed to the
function was not an exact match of value A.
I suppose you could create a table which included all the dates in each
fiscal period, but I was curious if there was an easier way to
accomplish this in Access.
