Get total value from sum between two dates

Good day everyone,

have been searching for this in many old discussions, but well here is my problem.

I am making a chart where in the rows are the values of some products selected. and each column has a date like this:

01/2013 - 02/2013 - 03/2013

value    - value      - value

This values are the total of the month and the prevous eleven ones.

Like this:

01/2013: 01/2013+12/2012+11/2012+10/2012+09/2012+08/2012+07/2012+06/2012+05/2012+04/2012+03/2012+02/2012

02/2013: 02/2013+01/2013+12/2012+11/2012+10/2012+09/2012+08/2012+07/2012+06/2012+05/2012+04/2012+03/2012

03/2013: 03/2013+02/2013+01/2013+12/2012+11/2012+10/2012+09/2012+08/2012+07/2012+06/2012+05/2012+04/2012

Here is an expression i was making by all the discussions i read.

= sum({<Date={">=$(max(prev_Date))<=$(max(Date))"}> } Value)

where

Date: field of the selected date or last date of the value in the certain case.

prev_Date: field of the date 11 month earlier

value: the value wanted from each date sum up

Date: 03/2013

prev_Date: 04/2012

Please help.

If you want to use the months as a dimension you can't use set analysis expressions because the sets are calculated per chart and not per dimension value. You can try using an AsOf table. See this document: Calculating rolling n-period totals, averages or other aggregations. It looks like you want a rolling 12-month total. The AsOfTable Examples document has an example of that.
