Current and Previous Quarter calculations

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am creating a Quarter field with the following script:

'Q' & ceil(right([Acc_Calendar.Acc Period],2)/3) as Quarter   

How do i then create a vCurrentQuarter and vPreviousQuarter ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Kieron,

                    Consider a separate numeric QuarterID field such as

ceil(right([Acc_Calendar.Acc Period],2)/3)  as QuarterID

or you can try defining your quarter as a Dual:

Dual('Q' & ceil(right([Acc_Calendar.Acc Period],2)/3) , ceil(right([Acc_Calendar.Acc Period],2)/3) ) as Quarter

Cheers

Thanks Andrew,

That gives me a numeric value for each quarter, what is the logic then to get current quarter (or previous quarter). To get Current week i have used: let vCurrent_week = num(week(today()), '00');

To get current year week i have used: let vCurrent_yearweek = weekyear(today()) & num(week(today()), '00');

But i'm confused about current quarter.

Thanks,

Kieron

Hi Keiron,

In the UI $(=max(QuarterID)) will give the current QuarterID according to the selections and $(=-1+max(QuarterID)) will give the previous.

You can try below one

vCurrent_Quarter=   Year={"$(=GetFieldSelections(Quarter))"}

vPrevious_Quarter = Year={"$(=GetFieldSelections(Quarter)-1)"}

sum({<$(=vCurrent_Quarterr)>}Sales)

sum({<$(=vvPrevious_Quarter)>}Sales)
