I used this scrip:

vCurrentYear = Max(Year)

vPreviousYear = Max(Year-1)

vCurrentSales =           sum({<Year={$(vCurrentYear)}>}Sales)

vPreviousSales =           sum({<Year={$(vPreviousYear)}>}Sales)

vSalesEvolution = 1 - $(vCurrentSales)/$(vPreviousSales)

vCumSales =               RangeSum(Above($(vCurrentSales), 0, RowNo()))

vCumPreviousSales =   RangeSum(Above($(vPreviousSales), 0, RowNo()))

vCumSalesEvolution = 1 - $(vCurrentSales)/$(vPreviousSales)

I have these results for current sales:

But I can have the results for cumulative sales:

Could someone help me please?

Hang on, the last year variable is not right.

It should not be

= Max(Year-1)

It should be

=((Max(Year)-1))

Where did you see it?

Because in the variable definition I put:

vCurrentYear = Max(Year)

vAñoAct = Max(Año)

vPreviousYear = Max(Year-1)

vAñoAnt=((Max(Año)-1))

Make sure there is NO equal sign when defining last year's accum variable:

Can you try changing your vPreviousSales variable from

sum({<Year={$(vPreviousYear)}>} Sales)

TO

sum({<Year={$(vPreviousYear)}>} total <Month> Sales)

Finally I found what was going on wrong!!

In my variable definition, I had this:

I thought it wasn´t matter because de 2nd expression was preceeded by //, but I´ve just discovered that IT IS MATTER!!

Thany you all of you, guys, that helped me a lot! I´ll be eternally grateful to all of you! 😃
