Hello,
I've done a lot of reading about how to bring previous year's data into a column for comparison against current year data. I've explored the use of variables within SET ANALYSIS but am not getting reliable results. mostly I get 0 or NULL fill.
The attached example has 2012-13 and 2013-14 Financial Year data. in Australia our Financial year starts in July and ends in June.
I simply want to display the sum of a field for the currently selected year (ie: 2013-14), then have the previous year field display the same time period (days and months) for the previous year (ie 2012-13). I can achieve this by hard coding '2012-13' into the SET ANALYSIS but that is very restrictive - and not in the true spirit of QV.
I've explored using variables to calculate currentdate - 365 but this only produces results where a single day is selected.
If anyone has the time to take a look and make some recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John.
