Help on displaying data

[#1]

Hi gurus,

I am preparing some statistical report and able to display the data using text box object. I would like to know if it is possible to display the data using straight table or pivot table and how to decide on dimensions. My data looks like this:

Raw Data:

Trade Date	Trade Value	Trade Volume
02/15/2011	567897	23456
02/20/2011	769927	34567
03/10/2011	8900000	38921
04/05/2011	53458395	12324
04/23/2011	9469769035	348539

Display required:

	Apr 2011	March 2011	% change
Trade Value	<sum of trade value in apr>	<sum of trade value in mar>	change between apr and march trade value
Trade Volume	<sum of trade volume in apr>	<sum of trade volume in mar>	change betweeapr and march

I'm going to assume that you only ever want to see two months' variations, but that you may select different months as a start point...

In your script:

Data:

CrossTable(MeasureType,Amount,3)

LOAD

Date,

MonthStart(Date) AS MonthStart,

MonthEnd(Date) AS MonthEnd,

TradeVolume,

TradeValue

From...your data source...;

Then, in your straight table chart, use MeasureType as the dimension and add 3 expressions:

Sum({<Date = {"<=$(Max(MonthEnd)) >=$(Max(MonthStart))"}>} Amount) As your label, use =Date(AddMonths(Max(MonthStart),-1),'MMM YYYY')

Sum({<Date = {"<=$(=AddMonths(Max(MonthEnd)),-1) >=$(=AddMonths(Max(MonthStart)),-1)"}>} Amount) As your label, use =Date(Max(MonthStart),'MMM YYYY')

Column(1)-Column(2)

That should work if I've got the syntax right...

Hope this helps,

Jason

(Oops - I got the 2 labels mixed up! Switch them around...)

Thanks, Jason it worked for me.
