Question

I’m trying to create a Crystal Report that reads data from an access table. I have a particular field in the access table called REPT_YYMM. This is basically a run data field, so each month when a program is run it populates the current year/month in the field before exporting to access, so there is a way to do month to month comparisons. For the report I’m working on I just want to display the data along with the current REPT_YYMM field when the data is refreshed on a monthly basis. Is there a way to do this in a formula. I’m not familiar enough with date type functions to know where to start.

Any guidance or suggestions are appreciated!

Your question isn’t very clear but if i understood correct you just need to filter the data where field REPT_YYMM = YYMM.

Goto selection formulas, record and enter:

{table.REPT_YYMM} = cStr(currentdate,'yyMM');
