I am not sure how to properly phrase this question, and as such cannot find any answers out there on google. I have a budget that I am using to run several reports. We have a business requirement that states any expense purchased in this month for the next month (say you buy a plane ticket that will fly in January, but you bought the ticket in December) will not be counted. I have a column [Period] that contains the budget date (the final day of the month), and I have a column for [Actual Usage Date] that I can use to compare the dates. However, I am not sure how to set a rule for them...
Period Item Type Actual Usage Use Business Process 7/31/2012 Air 8/15/2012 Yes 7/31/2012 rental 7/11/2012 No 7/31/2012 rental 8/01/2012 Yes 7/31/2012 Air 7/16/2012 No
In the above example, the 1st row contains a plane ticket purchased in July, but not used until August. The business process should be used. The Rental was purchased in July and used in July, so does not need a business process.
Is there a way in access to compare this information?
Thank you for your help!
