dear forum...
i need some help on writeing up the code....
the L.* looks like this
Date Code
01/01/1998 A
the R.* looks like this
Date Code News
02/01/1998 A 5
03/01/1998 A 2
05/01/1998 A 1
the combined i want looks like this
Date Code Cummulative_news_day0_day5 Cummulative_news_day-1_day3
01/01/1998 A 8(5+2+1) 7(5+2)
where day 0 indicates the L.date and day1 day2 means the following dates... and day-1 means the previous day..
in the example here Cummulative_news_day-1_day3 it got no data from 31/12/1997...
i got stuck at this problem like a week...
thanks for your time...you the best

How many Cummulative_news_dayxxx columns do you expect?
You could have millions considering all the combinations of days that are possible..
I think you need to explain your problem some more and provide some better sample data.
What's the logic on the join - by month? Those periods appear to overlap as well?
I modified the subject of the thread to better reflect your problem - helps when searching in the future.
If Chris's solution works for you please mark it as the solution.
