Calculate an amount based on a Number field and a Multiple Choice field

Context.  Trying to populate a table of days of the month from a 'Costs' table that has known costs of the business.

Costs table:

costs

Day is a number field. Months is a multichoice field:

months

Table looks like:

table

Over in my Cashflow table I have a button that I want to populate a sub-table e.g.:

cashflow

What I want to do is:

Loop through the days for that months 'Daily Cash' table:

  Loop thorugh the items in the 'Costs' table:

     sum up the Costs field [if the days match] and [if the month is selected in the multichoice field]

 

So the looping bit is fine, summing up the costs based on the [days matching] is fine....   but how do I work out if my month is included in the multichoice field?

Completely stumped!!!

    Hello Jason
    In order to see if the month is included in the multichoice field, you would need to transform the month into a text field (1>Jan, 2>feb, 3>mar...), and then search with the statement like : Months (multi field) like xMonth (Variable that writes the month in text)

    So it would look something like this:

    Loop through the days for that months 'Daily Cash' table:
      Loop thorugh the items in the 'Costs' table:
         let xMonth:= if month(Date)=1 then "Jan" else if month(Date)=2 then "Feb" else.....
         sum up the Costs field [if the days match] and [Months like xMonth]
