The challenge is that there are only 5 months between January and June, but combine state and fed and treat them as two pairs.
That gets you down to 2 transactions. Summary: 1: Jan 15 + 3 months later 2: Jun 15 + 3 months later. Of course you could pick any two and pair those, and then the other two also make a pair. > On 06/01/2026 7:51 PM PDT Tom Route36 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > This is a really minor how-to question; but I'm just throwing it out > here to see if maybe there's a better way of doing this.
