Re: How do I setup Fiscal Yr to begin in October in Access



Yes Bob, our weeks run Sunday to Saturday, but come Oct 1st, it's a new FY no
matter what day it falls. I don't have multiple tables. I have one Client
Info tabel and a qazillion queries. The report needs to reflect which
reporting quarter the post test reading, post test math & language was taken.
example: if the client post tested today in reading, he/she would be in the
4th quarter of the FY. If this same client posted in math on Oct. 1st,
he/she would be in 1st quarter of FY 2009. In my Assessment query I have for
the columns headings from the Client Info table:

Last Name, First Name, Numerator, Denominator, Assessment Date, Tested Out
At Assessement, Pre Reading Grade Level, Reading Scale 1 0 to 367, Reading
Scale 2 368 to 460, Reading Scale 3 461 to 517, Reading Scale 4 518 to 566,
Post Reading Date, Post Reading Score, Inc. Reading, Ach. Reading Literacy,
Exit Date, 1 Year Anniversary, 2 Year Anniversary, 3 Year Anniversary, Post
Reading Reporting Quarter: "Qrt" & DatePart("q",[Post Reading Date]). I need
this to reflect the FY beginning in Oct. I have the same set up for the Math
& Language query columns as above in the same query.

I'm using 2003. I'm trying to set up a query for assessment testing
that is reported quarterly. The FY begins in October instead of Jan.
I have the quarter column set up for the beginning assessment date
but it is calculating from the system's current FY. I have columns
for Post Reading Date, Post Math Date, Post Language Date. I want
the quater column to reflect when the reporting data is due by the FY
beginning in October?

The easiest way is to use a calendar table

This was assuming that your fiscal weeks and months (FM) always begin on
Sunday, which is the case in my company. For example, in this scenario,
FM 1-2009 might begin on 5-Oct this year (or, depending on how the
accountants define it, 28-Sep). In this situation, simply adding 3
months to 1-Oct 2008, which should be in FM 12-2008, would result in the
wrong fiscal year and month (1-2009).

If your fiscal months always begin on the first of the calendar months,
then the solutions suggested by the other responders will work fine.
