Sure.  Your Month field must be dual, to support this.

In Document Properties - Triggers, create trigger on Field Month.  The action on select will be

Select in Field

Field

Month

Search string

= '<=' & num(Month)

You can definitely achieve this using Michael's suggestion above, however I would be wary of implementing it without being completely sure that is what you want.  Sometimes auto-selections can confuse and frustrate users and take away from the built-in functionality of QlikView.

Yes Rebecca Camper, as a user I'd be confused if I make a selection and it is overridden right away.

Be careful what you wish for...

Thank you Rebecca for your comment. I want to use month listbox with automatic selection only in tab with YTD vs LY YTD and that is very clear to users!
