FileMaker 14 Pro Two Tables One Date Range - filemaker

I have two tables. The first, table A, has dates, unique codes and costs. The second, table B, has dates, unique codes and revenues. Table A = >> Table B (One to Many Relationship). Now what I'm having difficulty with is running a find that gives me all the Costs in Table A and all the revenues in Table B for a specific period. The goal is to be able to calculate the cash basis for the period which is just cost + revenue for the period.
This seems like it should be a simple problem, but every time I run a find on Table B list layout, it does give me all revenue from Jan 1 to Jan 15 but if the related cost occurs before Jan 1 then it includes those two and they shouldn't be accounted for in the formula. Also if there are costs that occur between Jan 1 and Jan 15, even if there is no revenue in Table B that occurs between that period they should be included.
So I'm pretty lost at how to do this without running two finds on two tables to get the correct number then manually adding them together.

I cannot say I fully understood your description of the two tables. It sounds like you want to do a search in the child (Revenues?) table for records where both the date and the parent (Costs?) date are within the required range?

How to MATCH Dates in separate Columns and then SUM all values for a specific Date? (Google Sheets)

I am trying to create a stock portfolio tracker.
Table 1 has all transactions in this format: Date | Irrelevant | Amount Bought (+) or Sold (-).
Table 2 has all Dates for every Day from the Date of the first purchase until the current Date.
Table 1 Table 2
I am trying to get a Formula that calculates the total amount of shares bought/sold on a given day. Table 2 should then look like this:
Goal (A) Goal (B) Goal (C)
I have tried some array formulas but cant figure out how SUM all Amounts for a specific Date.
This is what I currently have:
=ArrayFormula(INDEX(Transactions!$B$12:D, MATCH (TRUE,EXACT(Transactions!$B$12:B, B7),0)))
I am thankful for any help!
I believe this isn't really a proper question for stackoverflow, but try `=SUMIF(Transactions!$B$12:$B, B25, Transactions!$D$12:$D)' and just drag it down (or Ctrl+D).

Compute rolling average across years while displaying data split by year

The dashboard in the linked workbook shows a table with sales split by year on the top. Below, there's a table with the rolling average of the last 4 weeks, including the current. It's set to show NULL if there are not enough data points. I'd like for it to compute the first January 2018 value based on the current week and 3 full weeks from the end of 2017. Carrying that concept forward, all NULLs from 2018 onward will be eliminated. The NULLs for the first 5 weeks of 2017 will be the only NULL values. The average should always be computed on a full 4 weeks (28 days) even when week 53 doesn't contain 7 days.
How can I write a calculation to achieve what's described above?
I've tried putting the WINDOW_AVG function inside a LOD, but that's not allowed. Furthermore, I've also tried using FIXED and even FIXED inside WINDOW_AVG.
Here's one of my attempts:
{FIXED [Week_int]:
WINDOW_AVG(SUM([Sales]), -4, 0)
}
It returns this error: "Error: Level of detail expressions cannot contain table calculations or the ATTR function"
Here's the data structure. It includes one value of Sales per day.
Basically I created a dummy data in Excel by creating dates (from 1-1-2017 to 2-2-2021) and filling some random values (unif dist *5000) against these.
I added Week[date] to columns and year[date] to rows as in your screenshot. I added sum(value) on the text marks card.
Thereafter, I added table calculation --> Moving average --> edited it for previous 4 values , next 0 values, (check current value if you want to include current record), then check Null if there are not enough values. (your requirement). --> click compute using -Specific Dimensions change the order of fields below - drag Year above than week (table across then down will also create the same view)
You should be able to get a view as desired.
Regarding your query on number of days in the week, Tableau caters it automatically if you have chosen it datepart.
Edit I verified this in Excel, the method is correctly working.
See, the average of first 28 values in Excel
and the view built in tableau:

Want to create 2 columns with different period parameters from the same data in SSRS

I want to create a monthly report, calculating the % from the previous 2 month average from the previous 12 months average. Basically I want to see which shops have dropped in sales in the previous 2 months, and hopefully only show the shops that have decreased 20% in sales.
So i believe the columns need to be like this
Shop|Products|Avg of 12 months|Avg of 2 months| %
Since i have many entries for the sales, i also need to sum the previous 12 months and then average it... as well as sum the previous 2 months and average it
I have thought of some ways to do it, but it didnt seem to work and seems all too complicated and complex.
Im hoping if there is a simpler solution to this? Do i need to use pivot table?
I'm using PostGres 9.1 on Visual Studio 10
Thanks a bunch
When something seems too complicated to resolve with a single query, I create and populate a DataTable runtime and pass it to ReportViewer.
In this case you can:
create a DataTable with Shop and Product as a PK (if you want print the report for a period of months you can also add Month as PK). The other 2 columns will be Avg12Months and Avg2Months
insert a record for each combination of Shop/Product (and eventually Month)
for each record Shop/Product calculate and save the results for Avg12Months and Avg2Months
pass your DataTable to ReportViewer
use a single Tablix to display the results (sort, grouping and other operations can be done in the Tablix)
Some passages can be combined in order to speed up the process.

Access Crosstab or Form based on 2 tables with dates

There are a few answers here already that have part answered my challenge in Access but not fully.
I have 2 tables that form the basis of my database: customers and items
I have a further 2 tables; one for order quantities against customers and items (orders_a), and one for forecast quantities against customers and items (forecast_a).
forecast_a and orders_a also have a date for each customer and item combination (basically there will be 12 dates only for the 12 months of the year - 01/01/12,01/02/12,01/03/12 etc.)
Because a user will want to manually forecast quantities for a full year for each customer and each item, if there were 2 customers and 2 items, the forecast_a table would contain 48 rows. 2 items x 2 customers = 4, 4 x 12 dates = 48. The same goes for the orders_a.
I know this is a slightly unusual set up but the user requires visibility of a full year.
My main challenge based on this is as follows:
A user will want to see a form with customers in the first column, items in the second and then (like a crosstab): Jan Forecast Qty, Jan Order Qty, Feb Forecast Qty, Feb Order Qty etc.
Therefore how would I create a crosstab to pull both these tables together, and how would I go about creating a form for data entry off the back of it?
I may well be constructing my database the wrong way but the fact that the user needs a 'grid' where every entry is manual means I can't just have a form that creates a record one at a time for orders or forecasts.
Thanks in advance!

The problem you have is that this is a task that is in essence a spreadsheet task. Accordingly it may be best handled in Excel. To achieve this create an Excel object, create a blank worksheet, populate it with the data, then have a button to suck it back into the database when the user has finished.

MS Access 03 Query Criteras

If I have a report that tracks data for several accounts for each month with rows labeled:
UNITS,
REVENUE,
AVG REV/UNIT
How would I create a query that will filter the report to just show accounts where the UNITS row has increase/decreased 25% and the AVG REV/UNIT has increased/decreased 10%, from the previous month to the current month.
An example would be for the month of June I have the numbers....
JUN
UNITS 3,271
Revenue $3,598.10
Avg R/U $1.08
So when I run the report at the end of July I only want accounts that have a 25% difference in UNITS and/or a 10% difference in AVG REV/UNIT to show on a report.

FROM PHAR_REPORT, RMonth, PG2, PG
WHERE (((PHAR_REPORT.PR) Like ([PCODE] & '*')) And ((PG.pID)=PG2.PID))

You should do it with more than one query. In the first query, select the data for the first month. On a second, to the desired month to compare. Create a third query that links the two first (be care about the correct relationship). Do the grouping/calculations in these queries.
In the 3rd query, create two fields that calculates increasing/decreasing for units and rev/unit. Now, you can add a criterium on each parameter field in the query columns.
The chalenge here is to be sure about hou would you work with the primary keys on months. Eg: if a A row in the first query isn't in the second (for not having an event on second month, for example), it will not be showed. In this case, the solution would be to create the queryes linking a table or query wich has the entyre set of registers, forcing it to show all the desired records despite they have or not occurrences.
