Current Month Issue

I am trying to show the Month to Date number for the month today.  So If its June today, I would like to show the data for Jun only.  My data is a MTD data, so I have created a variable (vMonthToday=Num(Month(Today()))) and My expression is

sum({<Month = {$(=vMonthToday)}>}  Sales), it works perfectly fine for YTD with this expression

sum({<Month = {"<=$(=vMonthToday)"}>}  Sales).

So I would like to show only Month(Today) data . I expect to see 2017 Jun = 2315 only and not the cumulative.

Attached please find the sample

I don't have Qlikview software. Does Month field has number values rather month names. Could be miss behaviour over month field? Check from your end

Before develop something, think If placed (The Right information | To the right people | At the Right time | In the Right place | With the Right context)

hi

your problem that the month field isn't numeric but text , and the your variable was numeric

i prefer to have a field motnhyear with the first date of the month as the value

then it's esayier to work have a look at the attach example

it better to use mothyear field because month alone isn't good enough because it only work if you have one year of data

Ofcourse you need to change variable to have string of month and not the number to make above expression work.

Thanks

!Hi Rehan

Try the attached sample. Your Month is not numeric which is what is causing the problem

You Can Try This Formula's

Last Month to-date =sum({<Year= {'$(=max(Year)-1)'},Month={'$(=month(Today()))'}>}Sales)

Current Month to-date  =sum({<Year= {'$(=max(Year))'},Month={'$(=month(Today()))'}>}Sales)

Last Year to Date = =sum({<Year={'$(=max(Year)-1)'},Month ={'<=$(=num(month(Today())))'}>}Sales)


Current Year to Date= sum({<Year={'$(=max(Year))'},Month ={'<=$(=num(month(Today())))'}>}Sales)
