expr explination ? urgent

[Anonymous]

max({1<month={'$(=month(vperiod))'}>}period))

vperiod is = getfieldselctions(period)

here period is  16/11/2014

Confusing, given what it seems to be doing, but from what I can tell:

A user makes a selection in the field 'period' and the value is passed to the variable vperiod.

The expression then returns the maximum period where the month field is equal to the month of the period held in the variable.

It'd be more helpful if you could mention what format the fields were both in and what the expression was being used for.

[renjithpl · Accepted solution]

max({<month={'$(=month(vperiod))'}>}period))

remove 1 from the script.

try like this

=max({<month={$(=month(vperiod))}>}period)

Is there a reason you take the field selection, pass it to a variable, and then re-evaluate this?

What is the expression doing? Is it embedded in another calculation? Because if you just want to return your selected date, you can just use max(period)...
