Flags can simplify the exressions in the front end

An example

You want to compare YTD and previous YTD; you can add 2 flag fields to the master calendar to identify the YTD and PYTD records

In the expression you can use these new fields (YTD e PYTD flag) in this way

sum({$ <YTD={1}>} someval)

sum({$ <PYTD={1}>} someval)
