1 Create a report that lists all acceptable transactions. The procedures will be the same as for the report that lists unacceptable transactions, except you will use the Acceptable_Codes list as the basis for comparison. Using Relations, create a view that displays the following information:
■ Employee name
■ Credit card number
■ Department
■ Acceptable transaction amount
■ Transaction date
■ Transaction code
■ Transaction code description
Extract this view to a new table --- Surname4A_Acceptable_Trans_by_Emp_April, and export the new table to an Excel file. Open this file to print screen the result.
2 Remember that some transactions have neither acceptable nor unacceptable codes. These are the transactions that require approval, but are not forbidden. Create a table of transactions that are neither acceptable nor unacceptable. How many transactions are in this category?
3 Extract all of the transactions that exist in the approval-required category to another table.
4 Refer to the Trans_April, Trans_April_Unacceptable, and Employees tables. What percentage of employees with credit cards made unacceptable transactions?
