Dynamic change of month

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have data for sales till date months(Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,June,July,Aug).Now I need to compare sales based on current selections of month. For example if I select March month I need to show sum(sales ) for March and previous month Feb sales. Like that current selections of month Vs previous month based on month selections. I needed help on setanalysis.

Thanks,

Raj

Hi Rajesh,

Try

sum({<Month={">=$(=AddMonths([Month],-1)"}>}Sales) // (In this case, the Month field must be a numerical date, not a string)

This will add for both the previous and current month.

Rather than using Getfieldselection() you can use Max for finding maximum month value  in the field same you can apply for less one month but you have to use numeric month field in your data model just add this one line in your data model.

Ex:-

Load

*,

NUM(MonthField) as NumMonth

From Location;

1. Then in expression for Current month what you select

=sum( {<NumMonth ={ $(=MAX(NumMonth)) }    >}  Sales)

2. For Previous Month use

=sum( {<NumMonth ={ $(=MAX(NumMonth)-1) }    >}  Sales)

HTH

Finally you can select this one

=sum( {<NumMonth ={ $(=MAX(NumMonth)) }    >}  Sales)

=sum( {<NumMonth ={ $(=MAX(NumMonth)-1), MonthField= }    >}  Sales)
