I work in a school and I have daily attendance data (including a date column) in a table going back to 2017.
I want to add a column that shows the academic year for each record.
E.g. a date between 01/09/2020 and 31/08/2021 would be "2020-2021"
a date between 01/09/2021 and 31/08/2022 would be "2021-2022"
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok, worked out a solution but possibly not the neatest. I created a table with every possible date with the academic table in another column the created a relationship to the date column.
