  Consolidate Records:
  
  If applicable, consider consolidating records that have overlapping dates into a single record, if they represent the same transaction or event.
  
  
  
  Check for Duplicates:
  
  Ensure that there are no duplicate records that might be causing the overlap. If duplicates exist, remove or correct them.
