I have a query "YlyQA" which sorts all the data of the current a year (The
year is supplied by Input Box by user). It works normal.
I want to make a another Query based on the above query for Quarterly report
and one more query for Half yearly report. I mean 2 seprate query.
Please advise me a method by which I can make both the query.
Regards.
Irshad.
I assume that at least one field in [YlyQA] contains the date on which
you are filtering the report. I'll refer to it as [TransactionDate].
You'll need a means for the user to specify which quarter (or which
half) is to be used. That could be either via specifying a start date
or the number of the quarter.
If the user chooses a date, for example [StartOfQuarter], you can
compute the end of the quarter from that using a function such as
[TransactionDate] >= [StartOfQuarter]
and [TransactionDate] < DateAdd("q", 1, [StartOfQuarter])
This version identifies the beginning of the next quarter, but you may
prefer to choose whatever date is 3 months later than that specified,
for example via (DateAdd("m", 3, [StartOfQuarter])).
If the user chooses a quarter number, you can either compute, or look up
in a Table that you define, the date of the beginning of that quarter.
