Summing over a range of values specified by index values

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Qliksense, but I think it's time to ask some experts for help after I've spent literally 2 days trying to do something so utterly simple.  I have a table of 2 numbers, "Financial_Month", with values from 1 to 12 and "Budget_Each_Month".  Our financial year starts October, so I wrote a variable to convert the current month to the current financial month, called "Current_Month".

Now, I'm wanting a simple method of returning a single number of the sum of Budget_Each_Month from Financial_Month=1 to the Current_Month, and also to the Current_Month-1.

I've tried:

RangeSum(above(Sum(Training_Budget),0,Current_Month))

This returns 0 in a KPI I set up just for testing.  Of course, how it knows what the CURRENT line is, is anybody's guess.  Nowhere can I fond any info on that.

Closest I got was this:

Sum({$<Financial_Month={"< 7"}>} Training_Budget)

Where 7 was the current month.  However, I cannot insert the variable Current Month in without Qliksense throwing an error.  I've tried removing quotes, trying single quotes, nothing seems to work.  Please help!

Kind regards
Charles
