Dump to an Excel sheet and ask them to make a formula for "active". A client that can't use Excel deserves to be teased and be charged extra.

But it's pretty fun when the customer says your program does it wrong and you pull out that old Excel, plug in the data and their Excel does exactly the same as your program. It makes the discussion about billable hours a lot easier.
