[prabunakil]

Hi, i have a table to show the net sales.

the table include of field name, transactionmonth1, net sales.

What is the expression in the straight table i can set to show the net sales always show in current month (Latest Month).

eg: now is August, the net sales showing is aug sales. next month is sept, net sales show is september.

Please advise.

Write the transactionmonth1 dimension like below

if(transactionmonth1= Date(max(Date#(transactionmonth1,'MMM')),'MMM'),transactionmonth1)

Then Check on the suppress when value is null.

I am assuming the transactionmonth1 value formats are Jan,Feb, Mar etc

Try,

sum({<transactionmonth1 = {"$(=max(transactionmonth1))"}>} [Net Sales])

Hi it Did not work

Hi Prabu,

Check if transactionmonth1 is a numeric field or text field.

If it is a numeric field, shraddha.g solution should work.

Drag a filter panel out and insert transactionmonth1 into the filter panel.

Then check if the months in transactionmonth1 is left-aligned or right-aligned.

Thanks and regards,

As Arvind Suggested,

Use the dimension as

=Month(Today())

and expression

=sum({<transactionmonth1 ={$(=Month(Today()))}>}[net sales])

[BalaBhaskar_Qlik]

May be this:

=sum({$<transactionmonth1 = {"=$(=Month(Today()))"}>}NetSales)

Or

=SUM({$<transactionmonth1={'$(=max(vCurrMonth))'}>}NetSales)

LET vCurrMonth = month(transactionmonth1);

[prabunakil]

is a numeric field
