Sounds like this is a homework question.

It is not clear how you want to use column 3. If ‘Yes’ is in the column, does it mean it is active or ‘Inactive’. The column would be better marked with only one state ‘Active’, this is then determined in the content.

I.E. Yes = Active, No = Inactive.

Looking at Column 1 and 2 headings, I am not sure why you need the active/inactive column. Surely if the current date is between those in column 1 and 2, then it is ‘active’. Maybe a bit more information as to how this table is to be used would help.

Yes, you need to clarify your ‘question’, specially this part: “I want to set any financial period as active period at any time”

Some example data could help.

I think you need to clarify the question.

I have defined financial periods in table.
In this table i have defined 3 fields, 1-StartDate, 2-EndDate, 3-ActiveDeactive. Field type of “ActiveDeactive” is set to Yes/No.

One record should be ON and remaining all OFF

I want to set any financial period as active period at any time
