Hi - Actually this isn't a very specific use of a tally table for one customer.This is called the "Retail Calendar" and is used by pretty much every retail business including the one I work for. We have retail stores and we have a large factory.
You can google it and look it up.
I don't know if this person is on the retail calendar or if he just has a weird fiscal set up.
I have been using a similar tally table for several years. One of the things I include is whether that particular date is a "working factory day". That doesn't mean to exclude sat/sun/holiday. As we approach the holidays we often have sat/sun where the factory works and ships product. So after the fact we add a Y if the factory worked that day.
Interesting, this is for a retail company, but I don't know if they are on a standard "retail calendar" or if they've made up their own that is just very similar. Does the standard one have the "correction" of an additional week that I entered?
Thanks for the information!
