[paulyeo11]

Hi All

I have 2 Expression which work fine for last 5 year , when I place these at expression and dimension = year , it will plot for me bar chart year sales trend by YTD or Month , now I want to add last Quarter compare.

Below expression will give me bar chart for 2015 July compare with 2014 July sales. ( Because now us july 2015 )

(sum(-sales * Year2Date(date, year-Year(Today()), Ceil(Month(Today())/3)*3-2)))/1000

Below expression will give me bar chart for 2015 jan - July compare with 2014 Jan - July sales. ( Because now us july 2015 )

money(sum(-sales * YearToDate(date, year-Year(Today())))/1000,$(vMoneyFormatK))

How to modify the above expression , so that I can get sales of Q2 2015 compare with Q2 2014 ?

Hope some one can give me advise.

Hi,

Try the below expression in back end:

let vDateToday = num(today());

InQuarter(Date_Field,$(vDateToday),-1)* -1 as CYQ2

InQuarter(Date_field, $(vDateToday), -5) * -1 AS LYQ2

Hope it helps you.
