Dear All,
My boss wants me to create a budget report as follows:
Rep Cust ActM$ BudgetM$ VarM$ ActMProfit BudgetMProfit VarMProfit
ActYTD$ BudgetYTD$ VarYTD$ ActYTDProfit BudgetYTDProfit VarYTDProfit
I have a table with the following headings:
Date State Product Prod Code Customer Cust Code Category Jan Feb Mar etc
State has the domain Vic, NSW, Qld
Category has the domain Sales GP
Question 1:
To the field Category, should I either
A: add to the domain actual sales and actual profit? I can past these into the table at the end of each month.
OR
B: set up a separate table for the actual sales and actual profit for the month?
I think A.
Question 2:
Instead of having a separate column for each month, should I either:
A: just have a heading Month and put the figures in that column
OR
B: Have the sales figures in separate columns for each month?
I think A
Question 3:
When I have set up my table correctly, and assuming the answers to my questions above are all "A", I am now unsure how to create a query which will give me the data for the report my boss wants.
Can someone please give me some help?
Thanks
Bon
