sum({<FiscalYear=$::FiscalYear>} SalesAmount)

What are the :: colons for? Thanks.

Hi

These are for the state (look at the alternate states). This probably means that take the FiscalYear selection from default state and apply to the expression.

Cheers

Hi, yer the $::FiscalYear means the value of FiscalYear in the current set of selections you usually use this when comparing values between alternate states. ie StateA::FiscalYear

Thanks
