Hi,
I am creating a report which has input as date (which is a month end Date) and option to run Monthly/Quarterly. If Monthly option is selected then for the selected date, the report should run for selected month end and previous 3 month ends showing summary data. Similarly if Quarterly option is selected and quarter end date is entered then it should run for selected quarter and previous 3 quarter ends showing summary data.
Eg. for Monthly. If 08/31/2009 is selected, need to calculate previous
3 month end dates: 07/31/2009, 06/30/2009, 05/31/2009
Eg. for Quarterly. If 06/30/2009 is selected, need to calculate previous
3 quarter end dates: 03/31/2009, 12/31/2008, 09/30/2008 (based on the Calender Year)
Sample Monthly report data if 08/31/2009 & Monthly options are selected:

It took lot of time for formatting the sample 3 line summary data. I tried to delete/edit the post (from original content) but I couldn't find such an option in this forum. It would be good to have such an option atleast for the person who is trying to post and if it accidently gets posted/ doesn't get formatted properly.

Next time I shall try to post the Questions properly.

Anyway thanks for your time and keep up the good work!

By the way I have found the solution for what I was looking for.

Have wonderful day!

If you look at the upper right hand side of your post you'll find a button named "EDIT ///".

So, this site has an option to edit your posts.

However, you cannot delete it. This will ensure -among other issues- data integrity, since it's possible to be referenced by a different post.

In case of special circumstances site owners might delete a post - but not without contacting the OP, I believe.

Edit: rephrased.
