Current Ratio


One of the things you'll notice from this list is that the current ratio is missing. Jared Hall of Microsoft was kind enough to share the code to create the current ratio. This code is provided as is, so if you have issues, don't call Jared! Once you've created the stored procedure, you can run it just like the others. The code to run it is:

exec seeGLCurrentRatioKPI @UserDate=?, @TimeUnit=?

I've made the code for this stored procedure available for download at https://www.box.com/s/szt1oej6op7pet3r1wzj (short link: http://bit.ly/Z1r9Bu). It's also available from Packt Publishing as part of the code download for this book. Simply run the code in SQL Server Enterprise Manager for each company database. Then, you'll be able to run the Current Ratio stored procedure.
