Using the data from different record

[Nata]

Hi all

I have a report of accounts’ balances. Balances are in USD and account
currencies. My reports picks up the currency rate associated with period and
calculates USD equivalent. It Looks like

GL account 1
Period A
Transaction ! Account currency amount ! Rate ! USD Equivalent
Transfer 1,000,000.00 103.00 9,708.74
Period activities total 1,000,000.00 103.00 9,708.74
Period A Ending Balance 1,000,000.00 103.00 9,708.74

Period B
Transaction Account currency amount Rate USD Equivalent
Transfer 55,000,000.00 103.00 533,980.58
Disbursement -100,000.00 103.00 -970.87
Period activities total 54,900,000.00 103.00 533,009.71
Period B Ending Balance 55,900,000.00 103.00 542,718.45

GL account 2
Period A
Transaction Account currency amount Rate USD Equivalent
Transfer 1,000,000.00 1.00 1,000,000.00
Period activities total 1,000,000.00 1.00 1,000,000.00
Period A Ending Balance 1,000,000.00 1.00 1,000,000.00

Period B
Transaction Account currency amount Rate USD Equivalent
Transfer 55,000,000.00 1.00 55,000,000.00
Disbursement -100,000.00 1.00 -100,000.00
Period activities total 54,900,000.00 1.00 54,900,000.00
Period B Ending Balance 55,900,000.00 1.00 55,900,000.00

I do not have any problems with USD, but I need to evaluate other currencies
with next month currency rate. So I need to insert next month currency rate
in the current month row and calculate the difference between these numbers.
I guess I am looking at “Using the value of next record in queryâ€

Could you please give me some direction to go whit that?

Perhaps you left off this part, but I'm not seeing how/where your
transaction records include any date/time information.

"How" depends on "what" ... what does your underlying data look like?
