Display Total Per Year

[easternfish]

Hi,

I Found this command by searching the web and looking at the aQV demo

=num(sum( {$<Year = {$(vMaxFiscalYear)}>} TotalDollar ),'$#,##0')

this is how my year is setup in my Edit Script

Year (date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as Year,

and this is how my Variable is setup.

vMaxFiscalYear   =Max(Year)

I the command seems to work but I'm still getting the total for all my years not the specific year that i want base on the MaxFiscalYear

Please let me know if you can think of any other options to show an expecific year in a text Object.

Thank you

HI,

it seems that you are missing a '=' :

$(vMaxFiscalYear) --> $(=vMaxFiscalYear)

THis is necessary if the value of your Variable is "Max(Year)" and not i.e. "2013".

In this case it has to be evaluated and this is done with an the $(=MyVar) Syntax.

Hi Ronald,

sorry to bug you again but I had one last questions regarding YTD vs Last YTD

I'm totaling all YTD 2013 - All 2012. How can I make vLFY to read YTD applying today's date-365? as a true YTD vs LYTD. I tried using the date, month, daterange in my Variables but its not picking up the correct date or im getting errors. I also try multiple link provided by QV help pages but none seem to work for me.

please let me know if you have an i dean of what I should do.

=num((sum( {$<Year = {$(=vMaxFiscalYear)}>} TotalDollar )) - (sum( {$<Year = {$(=vLFY)}>} TotalDollar )),'#,##0')

this is how my Variable is setup.

• vLFY =Max(Year)-1

and my dates formats.

	Year (date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as Year,
	Month (date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as Month,
	Day (date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as Day,
	Week (date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as Week,
	WeekDay (date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as WeekDay,
	(date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as Daterange;

Thank you !!!

Ronald,

I was able to find the answer.

Missing

DATE (date(date#(XDATE, 'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD')) as DATE,

=num((sum( {$<Year = {$(=vMaxFiscalYear)},Date={"<=$(=max(Date))"}>} TotalDollar )) - (sum( {$<Year = {$(=vLFY)},Date={"<=$(=date(addmonths(max(Date),-12)))"}>} TotalDollar )),'#,##0')
