Off the top of my head, you could do something like this: import math import django.db.models.Q
jeff_abs = math.fabs(jeff.balance) #get the absolute value of jeff's balance Account.objects.get(Q(balance__gt=jeff_abs) | Q(balance__lt=(jeff_abs * -1))) This way you pick up all positive balances greater than jeff's absolute balance and all negative balances less than jeff's absolute balance. This avoids adding a field to your model like 'balance_abs', which would be just a calculation anyways. I don't know if this is the cleanest way to do it, but let me know if it works... -Justin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
