[zied_ahmed1]

Hello I have this set analysis like Month to date :

DateCal=,Year=,Month=,Quarter=,

DateCal={">=$(=MonthStart(max(DateCal)))<=$(=date(max(DateCal)))"}

I would like now to do Month to date -1 (if i select April  2017 i will have March 2017 )

Thanks for help

Month=,Quarter=,

DateCal={">=$(=MonthStart(max(DateCal),-1))<$(=MonthStart(max(DateCal)))"}

It should be sthing like:

DateCal={">=$(=MonthStart(max(DateCal),-1))<$(=MonthStart(max(DateCal)))"}

or

DateCal={">=$(=MonthStart(max(DateCal),-1))<=$(=MonthEnd(max(DateCal),-1))"}

Hello Stefan,

[OmarBenSalem]

What date range and format do you see when you add this to a KPI object?

='>=' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal),-1) & '<' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal))

Do you see the >=03/01/2017<04/01/2017 when you select April? and also in the format of your field DateCal?

Hello,

Thanks for all,

I don't know why when i try this in text object :

='>=' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal),-1) & '<' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal))

I have the good result :

But when i put it in variable and i use it in the set analysis like that :

I have this :

Try with this variable

DateCal = {"$(='>=' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal),-1) & '<' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal)))"}

[zied_ahmed1]

I used this variable :

DateCal = {"$(='>=' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal),-1) & '<' & MonthStart(Max(DateCal)))"}

and this set analysis and I have 0 :

count({<$(var)>}Docs)
