Hi all,
I need to create a year to date report with individual Subsummary
Report (ala filemaker / others?) headings for each month. So, I’m
curious the best way to approach this for performance speed and
flexibility etc.
- I can do 1 sql query for the whole year’s data - or 12 individual
queries... probably best to do 1 big year sql query - but I’m not sure
how to split things up with loops etc.
each summary month heading will need to show:
- total month count of records
- special counts within each month
- more stuff
- also the record data
like:
JAN - total record count = 50 special count = 3
data record 1
data record 2
data record 3
FEB - total record count = 47 special count = 4
data record 1
data record 2
data record 3
etc.
Q: is it better to do 1 year find or 12 month queries - is 1 big find faster?
Q: with one year find - how do I setup 12 loops to simulate summaries?
do i just loop through the full set and only display if record is in
month 1 or 2 or whatever?
If there are any links describing this process - that would be great
any help would be appreciated...
