Variables and straight table calculation

Hi All,

I have built the below straight table and variables. I am doing sums based on months or month averages.

I need to be able to change the Current month variable each month and have the calculate each column automatically.

The issue i am having is that it only works if the CurrentMonth variable is 12 (December). If i use any other month, it bugs because we are overlapping 2 different years.  Can some help me with this ?

Hi Sunny,

see below, when i change the current month and year, it does not work.

I first created this to report on Dec 17 and the below example i tried to report on Jan 18

but it seems to not work when I do that . It won't calculate anymore and it also does not know that the month before Month 1 of 2018 is month 12 of 2017

Do you know how I could set the variables to it knows what the previous month is even if it a different year ?

Thanks

May be try this

vpreviousmonth1

=Month(AddMonths(makeDate(2018,$(vCurrentmonth),1),-1))

vpreviousmonth2 :


=Month(AddMonths(makeDate(2018,$(vCurrentmonth),1),-2))
