Hi,
You can always try e.g. Sum(If(YearName(MonthYear)=2011, xxx), or split MonthYear in the script to Month(MonthYear) as Month and Year(MonthYear) as Year...

Hi Anand,

You can use the set analysis to select the range you want.

For Example,

if your expression is  sum(FieldName1)/count(FieldName2)

you can use

sum( {<[Year Month]={">=Jan 2011 <=June 2011"}>} Fieldname1)/

     count({<[Year Month]={">=Jan 2011 <=June 2011"}>}Fieldname2)

where [Year Month] is your Month Year field.

Hope this helps.

Abhinava, are you sure that you can compare dates like this way? The " in Set analisys shows that the comparison is textual or numeric, not dates.

Anardjs, i cant understand if you want to do this in a Graph or in the script. What you mean "I want to select"? Selection are available in List boxes, for example. Anyway, i will give my opinion for both:

1) In a graph:

For example, if you want to see the sales between Jan-2011 and Jun-2011, without take care about time selections.

If you created the MY field from MonthName(Date) function, this field will get both values: numeric date, and text date. You must use $ function to get the numeric value of the data limitation:

Sum({<MonthYearField={">=$(=MakeDate(2011, 01, 1)) <$(=MakeDate(2011, 06, 01))"}>} Sales)

2) In script:

If you want to put a flag on the registers that, in MonthYearField, are in the same interval, try:

Left Join (Dates)

Load

     MonthYearField,

     'Yes'                    as Flag

Resident Dates

Where     MonthYearField >= MakeDate(2011, 01, 01)

     and    Month YearField < MakeDate (2011, 06, 01);

Please, let me know if It was useful for you.

first its best you format the dates   then you could use something like this

Aggr(only({<[Date] ={">=$(=Monthstart(Jan 11,0))<=$(=Monthend(May 11,0))"}>} [Date]),[Date])
