Hi all!

In answer to my query, I created this. It's not really pretty, but I think
it will serve my needs. Feel free to use it if you think it will help you
too.

Pass a date to sub FiscalStartEnd, and it should pass back the start and end
dates of the fiscal period that date is in. The WeekNumber function can be
found on Microsoft's web site. Search the knowledgebase for an error in the
datepart or format function.

cheers,
Matt.

Hi all!

I've written a small application that grabs data from 6 different data
sources, and puts them all into Excel for graphing. I was asked to do
this
by Month. So I did. Calendar month. It now turns out that they meant
Fiscal Months. (i.e. October 2003 starts 2003/09/29 and ends 2003/10/26).

Is there anything out there allowing me define fiscal periods and then
compare a date against the definition?

cheers,
Matt.
