4 years agoIf you really do have a relationships between a Parent table and the details, then look up that Parent date field down to children, and use an embedded report which is filtered on that lookup date.

- MikeTamoush4 years agoQrew EliteSadly, there is no relationship. I'm simply matching Project Codes.
Essentially, we create a Financial Report each month for each project. Once in the financial report, I simply report link to the raw financial data table, and just match Project Codes. I'm utilizing formula queries (which are awesome, one of the best new features QB has come up with in my opinion) to grab the values I want (for example, Travel costs through the selected month).
However, the report link is hard to limit to that month and before. It is the and before part that is the trick. Would be easy to limit to just that month, but I want to show that month and all months leading up to it.
It's not vitally important. This falls under, would be cool if it was easy, but not necessary if it is hard.

Ok, then the only solution is to have a button to put the Project in focus for the current user. That will carry the Date from the focus Project down to the detail records. Then have the section or the Report link field only display if the project is in focus. ie don't show the details until the user has clicked to put the project in focus. If the Project is accessed off a report you can take away the eyeball view icon and instead make your own view button which will out the Project in for us and then display the record.
