Hi,

You are saying abt finianacial year rite...?

In that case you should go for yearname() function.

= Yearname(Fieldname,0,5) as Financial_Year

Hi,

You will need to creat an alias for that in this way

Load Year(addmonths (DateField,-3)) as financialYear Resident RequiredTable;

The simplest logic for this is that for financial year 2009 the date values are Apr 2009 to Mar 2010 , so to get the proper financial year deduct 3 month's from the datefield & use if with a different alias. Likewise you can use it for your requirement.

See if it helps.

Regards

Amar
