How to write set analysis using Addmonth() ?

[mohan_1105]

Hi,

I wanted to calculate the # of transaction from one month before the particular date and one month after the particular date irrespective of year. To explain it well, Let the particular date be 14-May-1995. You have a transaction data, I need to find whether the customer had any transaction in date between 14-Apr to 14-Jun in all year.

I followed this thread, Using date ranges in set analysis and taken some Inputs. In a straight table, I wrote the set analysis as follows,

count({$<[Bill.DDMM] = {">=(Date(addmonths(max([DOB]), -1), 'DD-MM'))<=(Date(addmonths(max([DOB]), 1), 'DD-MM'))"}>} distinct Year(BillDate)) it doesn't worked.

To check my Date field, I wrote the if condition as follows,

if([Bill.DDMM] > Date(addmonths(max([DOB]), -1), 'DD-MM') and [Bill.DDMM] < Date(addmonths(max([DOB]), 1), 'DD-MM'),1,0) it works fine. I came to know that there is something wrong with my set analysis. It taking my time to rectify the problem. Please help !!

Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Sunny,

Thank you !! It is doing the work, But it is little bit hard to understand the expression. Can you explain it, please?

I am using SetDateYear to normalize all the years to Today()'s year.... I should have used Year(Today()) instead of Today(), Make that correction...

But other than than I am just checking if the Bill date is between min and max... if it is then distinct count year for bill date....
