Chart showing sales for the last date in the data-set

[Sunil_Kenth]

Hi,

I would like to do a bar chart that shows sales for the latest/highest date in my dataset.  So for example if I open the application today the chart would only show me sales for 6th Jan 2011 and if i opened up the application tomorrow it would only show me the sales for 7th Jan 2011.

I then, on the same chart want to be able to show sales for that same date but for the previous year.

My sales field that i am summing on is called 'SALES_RV' and the date field is 'Excel_Date'

Thanks for your help.

Sunil

Hi You can use this expression"

=sum( {<Date = {"$(=Max(Excel_Date))"} >} SALES_RV) for latest date and

=sum( {<Date = {"$(=addmonths(Max(Excel_Date),-12))"} >} SALES_RV) for prervious year same date

Use

=sum( {<Excel_Date= {"$(=Max(Excel_Date))"} >} SALES_RV)

=sum( {<Excel_Date= {"$(=addmonths(Max(Excel_Date),-12))"} >} SALES_RV)
