I have built something for a client that approximates this, and works. Walt is right:
it is non-trivial. Getting the current year's numbers is easy. It's getting
membership numbers for a time frame entirely in the past that's tricky. Rhonda, Walt,
contact me off-list if you have specific questions on how to do this (definitely takes
quite a bit of FMP knowledge, though.)
