i am not sure i have unserstood your requirement right or not. Did you try something like this?

Expression1: for current year data

Expression2: for previous year data

in this case the comparitive data would come in the same rows.

the issue is that i have three column as Monthyear ,Current year, previous Year ,so when i want to calculate 18 month data for max date then in current and previous year column the data is not coming in the same row for same month as year is diff. as

MonthYear,Current Year ,Previous year

jan 2012,            0  

feb 2012                              ,3

mar2012                             ,4

apr 2012                            ,7

jan 2013        0

feb 2013      ,5

mar 2013    ,4

apr 2013    ,3

as u can see that in current year and previou year colum the data is coming as above but i want to show apr 2013 current year valus and 2013 previous year value in the same row not in diff rows...plz reply if you know how could i do this.

FOR CURRENT YEAR--

SUM({<YEAR={$(=MAX(YEAR))}>}SALES)

FOR PREVIOUS YEAR--

SUM({<YEAR={$(=MAX(YEAR-1))}>}SALES)

expression i know but my issue is that apr 2013 and apr 2012 values should come in the same row in pivot table that is the issue.

Hello Jafri,

I think you have to use some sort of linkage table. PFA for an idea (courtesy: John)
