Hi,

     Try this expression.

     sum({<Date ={">=$(=YearStart(Max(Date)))<=$(=MonthEnd(Max(Date)))"},Year=,month=>}[Sales Amount])

     One more thing. The year for Date :01-04-2004 is wrong in your data it should be 2004 but your data shows it as 2002.

     Check your data properly.

Hi,

     Make sure that you have removed the selection of other fields.

     Something like this in your set analysis.

     Year=,Month=,Quarter=,Day=

     You must unselect the selection you have done.

     If possible send a copy of your Qvw file.
