Over more than 30 years business, I set up budget and cash flow projections on spreadsheets like in image 1 in Excel. I want our budget and projections to be part of our application. In our application there is one table that stores all transactions, one record after the other, with dates descriptions and amounts, and we are satisfied with the result. Image 2 shows a report. For the budget variance report to be correct, my challenge is to get the actual numbers into a field and the budget numbers next to it. I may manage to set up the budget looking like Image 1(in Access). I am not sure if I will be able to get an expression to set up the report. I must select "from" and "to" dates, when printing the Budget Variance report. Is it possible to set up an expression in a query that return number from an Excel spreadsheet?
