Try this if is the case and let me know.

If (year>=2011 and Month(month)>=1 and Year<=2011 and Month(Month)<=9,monthyear)

Hi Chema,

                Thank you for the reply.I tried with the expression you metioned.It's not working.I am using a bar chart.I am using the monthyear as dimesion and following as expression.

(sum(if(adnum=6, 1, 0))/count(adminId))/(sum( if(stnum=5,Expect,0))/count(adminId))

I tried limiting the expression based on monthyear field.It did not work .Thats why I am trying limiting the values in dimension.Is there a way I can limit the values in the expression based on the dimension?.I tried set analysis in the expression, but failed.May be I am doing in a wrong way.Any suggestions ?I have to limit the values between Jany 2011 and Sep 2011

Thank you

Hi,

So you don´t have Year and Month as fields??? How do you built the field monthyear?

I´ve written my previous code like a dimension and it´s working well for me.

Could you attached your file?

If this helps you, if you make Num(monthyear), that returns a number so you could calculate those numbers and in the expression write something like:

sum({<monthyear={">=40909"},monthyear={"<=40999"}>}WHATEVER)

In this example 40909 is Jan 2012 and 40999 is 1 less Apr 2012

You are generally on the right track, but you need to make sure that monthyear is a date or numeric field as opposed to a string if you want to use greater than/less than operators.

If you try Jose's most recent approach, the formatting will have to be the same between the monthyear field and the values you plug into the set analysis expression (e.g. 40909 in his example).
