Need Help with Syntax

[#1]

Hi,

I have a problem in which I am trying to show the comparison between current month's total work hours logged by employee vs the last month. (I am using KPI for this purpose)

My table has date as shown, all sequentially:

I basically want to sum the total hours for the last month and current month and show that as a KPI.

I tried Sum( {“>=$(=Min(Date))<=$(=Max(Date))”} } EmpHrs) but its not giving any result.

Any inputs shall be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try this ways

=sum(   {<Date = {">=$(=Min(Date)) <=$(=Max(Date)) "}>}     EmpHrs)

Hi Anand,

This works but how do I get the hours for the next month.

As in If I use the same formula for Current month it gives me the same value. I have used this right now in last month's formula.

I wanted something like this:

Thanks

Current Month Hours = =sum(   {<Date = {">=$(=MonthStart(Max(Date))) <=$(=MonthEnd(Max(Date))) "}>}     EmpHrs)

Previous Month Hours = =sum(   {<Date = {">=$(=MonthStart(Max(Date),-1)) <=$(=MonthEnd(Max(Date),-1)) "}>}     EmpHrs)

In your load script add NUM month field to get Num Months that used on expression

Ex:-

Load

Num(Month(Datefield)) as NumMonth

From Location;

Then in expression for current month

=sum(  {<Date = {">=$(=Min(Date)) <=$(=Max(Date)) "}, NumMonth = {"$(=Num(Month(MAX(Date ))))"} >}  EmpHrs)

And for previous month

=sum(  {<Date = {">=$(=Min(Date)) <=$(=Max(Date)) "}, NumMonth = {"$(=Num(Month(MAX(Date )))-1) "} >}  EmpHrs)
