Thanks very much Thomas - I did not know about FILTER.
But it does not quite work. If the SELECT does find a row where the max
tran_date is <= '2018-03-31' it correctly includes it in 'cl_tot'. But
the filter returns nothing for 'op_tot' because there is no
corresponding row where tran_date < '2018-03-01'.
But I have learned something new, so thanks for that.
