Rolling 12 months in Chart

Can someone tell me how to get my chart to only display a rolling 12 month period? I have a master calendar but I can't get the set analysis to work. I'm not sure which pieces of the master calendar I should be using to come up with the rolling 12 mos. My date field is called [Month Reviewed] i.e. Mar-15 for March 2015.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Change according to your FieldName from my below example...

Create below field in your script..

Date(MonthStart(TempDate),'MMM-YY') as InvoiceMonthYear,

Last 12 Months Sales From Current Month

Create a Bar Chart

Dimension

InvoiceMonthYear

Expression

=SUM({<

  InvoiceDate=,InvoiceDay=,InvoiceMonth=,InvoiceQuarter=,InvoiceWeekDay=,InvoiceYear=,

  InvoiceMonthYear = {">=$(=Date(MonthStart(Today(),-11),'MMM-YY'))<=$(=Date(MonthStart(Today()),'MMM-YY'))"}

  >}Sales)

Last 12 Months Sales From User Selected MonthYear

Create a Bar Chart

Dimension

InvoiceMonthYear

Expression

=SUM({<

  InvoiceDate=,InvoiceDay=,InvoiceMonth=,InvoiceQuarter=,InvoiceWeekDay=,InvoiceYear=,

  InvoiceMonthYear = {">=$(=Date(MonthStart(Max(InvoiceMonthYear),-11),'MMM-YY'))<=$(=Date(MonthStart(Max(InvoiceMonthYear)),'MMM-YY'))"}

  >}Sales)

Hi Bruce,

You could use Dimension limits against your date field, e.g. tick Show only = 12, un-tick show  others

Thanks. I did that and for some reason the chart keeps Jan-14, Feb-14, and Mar-14 and drops Jan-15 and Feb-15?

Interesting, may be a sort order issue Sep-14 is missing 2 in both screen shots. Any chance you can post the qvw?

Actually, we don't have any Sep-14 data so that's why that month is missing. And, no unfortunately I can't post the .qvw..

A syntax for rolling 12 month set expression is in the blog The Magic of Set Analysis – Point In Time Reporting | iQlik - Everything QlikView.

Hope this helps.

1. How are you sorting the axis?

2. Can you post the Calendar Script?
