=Subfield(MaxString(TYQUARTER),'-',2) --> With this i get max Quarter, but i would also need Previous Quarter.

I would suggest using The As-Of Table‌ or creating a numeric field which can be used to go back a quarter... may be something like this

LOAD TYQUARTER,

           AutoNumber(TYQUARTER) as QuarterNum

Resident ....

Order By TYQUARTER;

and then you can use this for prev. quarter

{<QuarterNum = {"$(=Max(QuarterNum) - 1)"}>}

Hi Sunny,

Thanks for the Reply. I am able to derive the Previous Quarter but not exactly what i was looking.

Plz have a look at below image.I am looking for last column calculation.

Images don't really help Ravi... can you share your app and point out what isn't working? Also, it would be helpful if you can mention what your desired output is.

Best,

Sunny

Hi Sunny,

This is what i am looking for.

2017 -Q2	MAX Quarter Always - Present Quarter
2016-Q2	Corresponding Quarter of Previous Year from the above
2017-Q1	Also need last Quarter (Max Quarter - 1)
Y/Y %	2017Q2-2016Q2/2016Q2
Q/Q %	2017Q2-2017Q1/2017Q1

I have data some thing like this..All these are string columns.

TYYEAR	TYMONTH	TYQUARTER
FY2014	FY2016-01	2015-Q1
FY2015	FY2016-02	2015-Q2
FY2016	FY2016-03	2015-Q3
FY2017	FY2015-01	2015-Q4

TO GET Subsequent Quarter of Previous Year

=(SubField( MaxString(TYQUARTER),'-',1)-1) & '-' & SubField( MaxString(TYQUARTER),'-',2)

Max Quarter

=MaxString(TYQUARTER) 

=(SubField( MaxString(TYQUARTER),'-',1)-1) & '-' & SubField( MaxString(TYQUARTER),'-',2)

I am stuck to get the previous quarter based on my Max Quarter.

IF Q3 2017- Present - Q2 2017 Previous
