Getting sales sum according to year

Hello everyone,

I am quite new here and I am having a trouble by configuring my sales representation tab.

In one table for a first column I would like to sum one year's sales e.g. 2015 and in the other column other year's e.g. 2014.

My questions is: how the script should look like? I tried to write like Sum({[Fiscal Year]}[Sales Amount]), but it's not working.

Any suggestions?

p.s. Fiscal year variable I get from date and Sales amount I am getting from my database. They are calculated properly.

No, I do not want to use Set Analysis for this .

But I am guessing you intended to reply to tapovilait .

In that case, this could be the expression for the column with 2015:

= Sum({ < [Fiscal Year] = {2015} >} [Sales Amount])

May you live in interesting times!

I suggest you make a chart, a Pivot Table to be exact, with [Fiscal Year] as a Dimension and sum([Sales Amount]) as expression.

I am guessing you want to see them for a 2nd Dimension, so also add that to the chart.

After you made the chart, click on the column with [Fiscal Year], hold your mouse button pressed and move your mouse around in the chart to the top-right. You might have to make some circles till the arrow points to the left. Let go of the mouse button and you should have achieved what you want.

May you live in interesting times!
