Issue in YTD expression

Hi all,

I need to show May YTD in my expression.

so, i gave the following expression

sum

({<Year={$(vYear)},Month={">$(vFirstPeriod)<$(=vMonth)"}>}sales/1000

vYear  =Year(Today())

vFirstPeriod = Month(YearStart(Today()))

vMonth=Month(MonthStart(Today())-1)

which is 2014, Jan to May.

kindly correct me where i went wrong.

Thanks in advance,

sheela

Use $ expansion even on the last variable (rfemove the =):

sum({<Year={$(vYear)},Month={">$(vFirstPeriod)<$(vMonth)"}>}sales/1000)

Could you try the same expression without dividing by 1000?

Hi,


Try like this


What is your month format? Is it 1,2,3, or Jan, Feb, Mar?  If it is 1,2 3, then try below expression


=sum({<Year={$(vYear)},Month={'<=$(=vMonth)}>}sales/1000)


or if you have a date field then try this expression


=sum({<YearDimensionName={$(vYear)},MonthDimensionName=, DateDimensionName={'<=$(=MonthEnd(Today(), -1))'}>}sales/1000)


Replace YearDimensionName,MonthDimensionName, DateDimensionName with your actual field names.


Hope this helps you.


Regards,

Jagan.
