Hello,

First, format your date in your load script so

Date(Date#(Date, 'DD-M-YYYY')) AS Date


Then you should use something like

Only({< Date = {"$(=Max(Date(Date)) -1)"} >} Actuals)


Hope that helps

Miguel,

Normally for years I use this syntax

Sum({$<Year={$(=Max(Year)-1)}>} Actuals)

The problem is the date you use. He don't recognize the date.

Hi,

Is the script loaded with date formatted as suggested above?

If not, it won't work, since date() function needs formatting to match properly.

Regards.

Miguel,

I used the following syntax:

Date



(Date, 'DD-M-YYYY') AS Date

=

Sum({< Date = {"$(=Max(Date(Date) -1))"} >} Actuals)

I don't understand why you use the Date#?

Miguel,

Is it possible to send you the .qvw file?

Hi,

Date# is needed since your Date field needs to be formatted according to your values.
