Hello Tere,

If I understand you correctly, there are two parts to your problem. The first is to get the range of records to appear in the portal according to date criteria - and the second is to produce the sum of money values for the records which appear.

There are various ways to set up relationships to return records within a range, and you'll find a few examples on various threads on this forum. However the following links may also be of interest:

The methods described and demonstrated at the above links provide a selection of different approaches to establishing relationships based on ranges, and one of them may be suitable for your current requirements.

Once you have set up a suitable range-based relationship, you will be able to use the Sum(YourRelationship::YourField) formula within an unstored calculation field to retrieve summary and aggregate data via the relationship.
