Expression for Button

Hi,

I need to create a button that selects just the last 6 months. I'm not sure of the correct expression to use. Thank you in advance for your help!

It's not working. I added a table to this attachment which might make it easier. Thank you!

Is it working now?

Created a new field called FiscalDate using Binary Load. You can just create that in your Downtime table using MakeDate function

Date(MakeDate(FiscalYear, Pick(PrdNo, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3), 1)) as FiscalDate

Thanks for the hard work, but it's giving me Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec, Mar & Apr.

What are you looking for? What's the last 6 months you would expect?

It's missing Jan & Feb

I am not sure what you goal is. The Fiscal date doesn't have values for some of the PrdNo

I guess when I press the button, it selects everything between Oct 1st and Apr 1st. Now the table you included, includes a Month field. I am not sure how Month is related to PrdNo. But it seems they are not one to one

This seems more like a data modeling issue to me

It's using "Mth", not "Month" - Sorry for the confusion.

And coming back to the issue again then, we don't have Jan, Feb, Mar. So we only see Oct, Nov, Dec, Apr
