how to get YTD values for a time dimension like month???

Hi, 

I have a line chart using month dimension and an expression, I also have a list box with same month dimension, if I select a particular month the chart should show data till the selected month continously... how to achieve this? I have tried set analysis but I have learnt that in this case, set analysis works for a measure but not a dimension... Any help in this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks & regards

I Think you should work with date as YEAR , MONTH and DAY.

But I think you shoul post your qvw for us to check out.

Also look at the examples below.

hope it helps.

day( date )

Day. Returns an integer representing the day when the fraction of expr is interpreted as a date according to the standard number interpretation.

Example:

day( 1971-10-30 ) returns 30.

If the date format used does not correspond to the one set in your operating system, QlikView will not be able to make a correct interpretation. To solve this problem, you can either change the settings or use the date# interpretation function.

week( date )

Week number. Returns an integer representing the week when the fraction of expr is interpreted as a date according to the standard number interpretation.

Example:

week( 1971-10-30 ) returns 43.

If the date format used does not correspond to the one set in your operating system, QlikView will not be able to make a correct interpretation. See above under day.

month( date )

Month. Returns a text string representing the month when the fraction of expr is interpreted as a date, but can be formatted as a number.

Example:

month( 1971-10-30 ) returns Oct.

If the date format used does not correspond to the one set in your operating system, QlikView will not be able to make a correct interpretation. See above under day.

year( date )

Year. Returns an integer representing the year when the fraction of expr is interpreted as a date according to the standard number interpretation.

Example:

year( 1971-10-30 ) returns 1971.

If the date format used does not correspond to the one set in your operating system, QlikView will not be able to make a correct interpretation. See above under day.

Add the set selection into your measure. It will automatically "extend" your dimension to show all the dimension values selected by the set.
