Substituting a Field Value in a Set Analysis Expression

[asmithids]

Hello,

I have a situation where I need to compute cancelled quantity based off a different calendar from the Master Calendar. Invoice reporting is based on the following Master Calendar:

Master Calendar:

• InvYear
• InvMonth
• InvoiceDate

Cancelled orders reporting is based on the following orders calendar:

Orders Calendar:

• SOYear
• SOMonth
• OrderDate

I am trying to use the following set expression to sum cancelled quantity per month based in the Orders Calendar. 

=Sum({$<SOMonth={‘Jan’}, SOYear={"Selected Invoice Year"}>} CancelledQty)

Question, is there a set modifier function that allows the use of  "Master Calendar” where, as I select a year from the Master Calendar, the value of the year (i.e. 2015) is used as the parameter for the SOYear={"Selected Invoice Year"} set modifier? 

Thank you in advance for any assistance with this question.

Smith, Please create a variable Let vInYear = Max(InYear) & use the variable in set analysis

Sum({$<SOMonth={‘Jan’}, SOYear={"$(vInYear)"}>} CancelledQty)

If you not interested adding the variable try like below.

Sum({$<SOMonth={‘Jan’}, SOYear={"$(=Max(InYear))"}>} CancelledQty)

=sum({$<SOMonth={‘Jan’}, SOYear={"$(=max(InvYear))"}>} CancelledQty)

=sum({$<SOMonth={‘Jan’}, SOYear={"$(=only(InvYear))"}>} CancelledQty)
