Good day,

I have the following calculated dimension, which is not working can you advise as to what may be wrong

vCalendar = '2011/11/14' and

vPreviousDay = '2011/11/12'

vPreviousDay = if(weekday(today()) = 'Mon',Today()-(date(today())-date($(vCalendar))),Today()-1)

Calculated Dimension

if(date($(vCalendar)) =date($(vPreviousDay)),date($(vPreviousDay)),'Hello')

Thanks in advance

Kamiel

Are you assigning a value twice to vPreviousDay (a literal and an expression)?

Could you explain what you want to achieve, what the rule is you want to implement?

Thanks,

Stefan

I have the same problem, I currently have sum(total) for 2/22/2012 but I want to show the previous days total whenever the user selects a day. So example if i am a user and I select Feb 22, 2012, i want the system to show me the previous days total Feb 21st. Does anyone have any suggestions on what set analysis i should use?
