Hi,

Assuming that when no selection or when more than 1 month selected then Month 1 = Current Month

Label for Month 1:

=if(GetSelectedCount(YearMonth)=1,GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),Month(Today())&Num(Year(Today())-2000,'-00'))

Label for Month 2:

=if(GetSelectedCount(YearMonth)=1,Pick(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'),'Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec','Jan')

&'-'&

If(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Dec'),Num(Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2)+1,'00'),Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2)),Month(addmonths(Today(),1))&Num(Year(addmonths(Today(),1))-2000,'-00'))

Label for Month 3:

=if(GetSelectedCount(YearMonth)=1,Pick(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'),'Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec','Jan','Feb')&

                                  '-'&If(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Nov','Dec'),Num(Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2)+1,'00'),Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2))

,Month(addmonths(Today(),2))&Num(Year(addmonths(Today(),2))-2000,'-00'))

Label for Month 4:

=if(GetSelectedCount(YearMonth)=1,Pick(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'),'Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec','Jan','Feb','Mar')&

                                  '-'&If(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Oct','Nov','Dec'),Num(Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2)+1,'00'),Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2))

,Month(addmonths(Today(),3))&Num(Year(addmonths(Today(),3))-2000,'-00'))

Label for Month 5:

=if(GetSelectedCount(YearMonth)=1,Pick(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'),'May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec','Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr')&

                                  '-'&If(Match(Left(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),3),'Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'),Num(Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2)+1,'00'),Right(GetFieldSelections(YearMonth),2))

,Month(addmonths(Today(),4))&Num(Year(addmonths(Today(),4))-2000,'-00'))

Hi,

You should use set analysis Month between Max(Month) and Max(Month) + 5

Something like this :

Sum({< Month=,

Date= {">=$(=MonthStart(Max(Month))) <=$(=Addmonths(Max(Month),5))"} >} Value) 

Hope this helps

Justin.

Hi,

Why don't you use cross table to convert fields name Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, .... to one Column Month

You can refer Cross Table: Working with crosstables in the data load script ‒ Qlik Sense

Thanks,

Justin.

Strange that you can't see the attachment.

Basically one table with Month 1, Month 2, etc.

Another table with the YearMonth you'd like to use to select in format Month-Year

Then in the application, a filter pane with the YearMonth .for Selection

then a Table with Dimension 1 = Month 1 and the label as shown in previous post. Dimension 2 = Month 2 and label as shown in previous post, and so on

I hope this helps,

Cheers,

Luis
