How can I compare the columns of this Provider-Encounters Summary Table?
I have created a summary table of providers and the number of encounters (routine short patient visits). This table is setup weekly for the past 14 weeks. What I want to do is to compare the last few ...
Query formulas would certainly be one way to accomplish this. You could also do regular Summary fields. For each timeframe you want to capture - Current Week, Prev Week, 2 Weeks Ago, etc - you'll want to build a Summary field using the "Number of Encounters" option and then setting a filter at the bottom, much like you would in a report (see the image below).
Admittedly, the date filters aren't always the best when you want to target a full week (Sun to Sat), but in those instances, I build out Formula Checkbox fields on the table I want to summarize. These formulas would be used as the filter then. So, essentially, you would have a checkbox for each timeframe and then use the checkbox in the Mating Criteria.

I'm going to print your response out. I didn't get to work on today, was outside on my John Deere Zero-Turn that caught fire six weeks ago, almost done when I got sick on Friday. So now I just started it and five acres of mowing just got easier for me and my time.
I replied to Mark too, via the email option, but apparently not being added to my thread. Just wondering. But thanks to both Mark & Blake. Tomorrow I should be almost 100% and on QB. Today I was outside working when it got warm.

Okay, I thought maybe putting a simpler chart up. This is the start of a list of providers & total encounters for the past 14 weeks, set in the filter section.
I took out the grouping to just get a total. The total number would be the one that I want to delve into by week or if by day, then it's 98 days of data (14 weeks)
I have added Lookup Fields and/or Summary Fields, but getting zero numbers or totals. I keep learning about the use of the summary, lookup & query operations. I'm thinking this will work out beautifully once I figure this out.
In the meantime I will search for more in Community, YouTube even QB Junkies, though I can only access their free lessons snippets.
