I have a timestamp in Table1, call it SomeTime
and I have another field in Table1, call it Temperature
In Table2, I have a timestamp called WeatherTime
and a field called WeatherTemperature.
It is highly unlikely that I can use an exact = relationship between SomeTime in Table1 and WeatherTime in Table2. So I 'know' that my weathertime(s) come ever hour. I created another timestamp field in Table1 called SomeTimePlusHour.
I'm banging my head against a wall trying to use a spiffy relationship to Table2, like ">" SomeTime, but "<" SomeTimePlusHour. So It isn't working for me. Does anyone have advice for looking up tabulated values using a 'closest retail price without going over' algorithm to allow for the fact I'll never have identical timestamps in these two Tables?
Thanks,
Scott
