Use of Variable

Anonymous — Sat, 05 Mar 2016 06:51:30 GMT

Hello All

Kindly help me in the below logic.

I have created something not sure it is correct or not.

If the difference between Today Date and First day of the Month is Less than 6 than it picks the Last day of the previous month else Today date.

Formula I wrote is:

Date_value = IF((TODAY() - MONTHSTART(TODAY()))<6, DATE(MONTHSTART(TODAY())-1), TODAY())

I need the below two things as:

1. received_date >= Date_value - 3

2. received_date < Date_value - 3

Can someone suggest me how I can use this in set analysis

Thanks

Deepanshu

You can create another variable, subtracting the 3 days and formatting the date same way as received_date (assuming its format is the default script format):

Date_value_threshold:

=Date( Date_value -3)

If it's not in the default format,add a format code to Date() function:

=Date( Date_value -3,'MM/DD/YYYY')

Then in your expressions, maybe something like

=Sum({<received_date = {">=$(Date_value_threshold)"}>} Value)

resp.

=Sum({<received_date = {"<$(Date_value_threshold)"}>} Value)
