Introduction
Creating a query that will find contacts with specific giving history is a great tool for identification of contacts with specific summary giving details. This may be used in cases where the user is interested in locate last year (or last fiscal year) total giving details without the need to create a subquery specific to the transactions table. This query can be used on its own or added as an external query to a different query.
