Greg_Deckler My Date Table looks something like this:
| Date | Start of Week | End of Week | Week | Month | Month Name |
| 1/4/2023 | 12/31/2022 | 1/6/2023 | 12/31/2022 - 1/6/2023 | 1 | January |
| 1/5/2023 | 12/31/2022 | 1/6/2023 | 12/31/2022 - 1/6/2023 | 1 | January |
| 1/6/2023 | 12/31/2022 | 1/6/2023 | 12/31/2022 - 1/6/2023 | 1 | January |
| 1/7/2023 | 1/7/2023 | 1/13/2023 | 1/7/2023 - 1/13/2023 | 1 | January |
| 1/8/2023 | 1/7/2023 | 1/13/2023 | 1/7/2023 - 1/13/2023 | 1 | January |
and my expected result will look something similar to this (note this will be the expected result that will distribute on 1/9/2023) :
Weekly Report (for 12/31/2022 - 1/6/2023) :
| Group | Metric 1 | Metric 2 |
| Group 1 | 1 | 3 |
| Group 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Group 3 | 7 | 8 |
Monthly Report (for December) :
| Group | Metric 1 | Metric 2 |
| Group 1 | 25 | 55 |
| Group 2 | 30 | 60 |
| Group 3 | 20 | 70 |
So as you can see, since the start date of the week and the end date of the weekly report are in different months, my monthly report will show the total amount for December, and then for the report that will distribute on 1/23/2022, the weekly report will be for 1/14/2023 - 1/20/2023, and the Monthly Report will be for 1/1/2023 - 1/20/2023, since the start of week and end of week dates are both in the same month, which will show from the beginning of January to most recent date.
