Hi guys,
I have a list of hotels that include their capacity (the number of hotelrooms they have), specified on a certain date. I need to do the following:
1. When I load the initial list of hotels, I must be able to say that from date X, this hotel has x rooms.
2. If I know that the capacity will change in the future (e.g., I know that the hotel will construct a new wing next year), I must be able to register that new capacity from that date, without affecting the original entry.
3. I must be able to pull a report by month that lists each hotel with capacity.
A sample report would look something like:
__________Jan 2011 ___Feb 2011 ____ Mar 2011
Hotel A________200 ________200 _________400
Hotel B _______ 200 ________200 _________200
Would I have to create one record per month for each hotel to get the capacity for each month?
Or is there a way to create one initial record with a start capacity, a second record with the new capacity on a future date, and then have the report know that the months in between the start date and change date should all have the initial capacity?
Any hints you can offer are greatly appreciated!
