Follow This:

Create two variables

vCurrent = left(FiscalYear,4)&'-'&(left(FiscalYear,4)+1)

vPrevious =  Left(FiscalYear,4)-1&'-'&Left(FiscalYear,4)

Now In Chart Selection FiscalMonth Dimension as you are using the same and write following two expressions:

Current Year: Sum({<FiscalYear={'$(vCurrent)'}>} <Your Field>)

Previous: Sum({<FiscalYear={'$(vPrevious)'}>} <Your Field>)

Hope This will work.

Try to use these expressions;

For Current Year: Sum({<FiscalYear={$(=Max(FiscalYear))}>} DataField)

For Previous Year: Sum({<FiscalYear={$(=Max(FiscalYear)-1)}>} DataField)

Hi Pradip,

I can not use Max(FiscalYear)-1 directly..see Fiscal year format.

Not applicable

Alternatively you could use 2 lists boxes corresponding to different alternate states and then call

State A from expression 1

State B from expression 2

this way you could compare any 2 years and aren't locked in year and year -1
