Exclude most recent month
Hello,
I have a query called qryReadmits based on a table called tblReadmits that has fields such as ReadmitMonth, AccountNumber, Readmit (1 or 0), Population (always 1). Data is populated into tblReadmits on a periodic basis. Sometimes the data is fairly current (2 months behind) and other times it is up to four months behind. I want to create a query where I group by month the readmission rate which is Readmit divided by Population. But I want to always exclude the most receent month that is available. I want to automate this since I will be reporting it each month. Can someone give me ideas on how to always exclude the most recent month regardless of how old the data is? Thanks, |

What's stored in ReadmitMonth: a number (1 through 12), text (Jan through
Dec), or something containing month and day (2010/01 through 2010/12)? -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://www.AccessMVP.com/DJSteele Co-author: Access 2010 Solutions, published by Wiley (no e-mails, please!)

Exclude most recent month
Douglas,
The values in ReadmitMonth are date values - all are the first day of a month (i.e. 2/1/10, 3/1/10). Chuck "Douglas J.
