GetCurrentField vs Set Analysis

I have a chart that has two expressions:

Calculate Total Spend to Date:

sum(ACT_AMT)/1000

Calculate current fiscal year spend:

=Sum({$<FISCAL_YEAR_NUM={$(=$(vCurFY))}>}ACT_AMT)/1000

I have a new requirement that instead of hard coding the current fiscal year in the expression, the user shall be able to select the Fiscal Year (FY) from the list box (FISCAL_YEAR not FISCAL_YEAR_NUM) and the total displayed should show the total for only the selected year(s).

I thought I could use =GetCurrentField(FISCAL_YEAR) instead of {$<FISCAL_YEAR_NUM={$(=$(vCurFY))}>} but that doesn't seem to work. I know that this is simple but my brain just isn't connecting the dots today.

Sample Attached. For example, clicking on FY16 (the current FY) works but FY15 does not.

Thanks!

Try changing your 'FY Spend' expression to

(ACT_AMT)/1000
