hi all

actually im showing a bar graph with dimension as month for 12 months

but i need to show only 6 months data from the current month as i tried like this

created calculated dimension =If(Month > Month(AddMonths(VarToday, -6)) and Month <= Month(VarToday), Month)

but it is not working as it is showing from Apr to sep even if i select november,december

i cannot do in script part as i need to do in dimension

My bad, missed the parenthesis

If(Month > Month(AddMonths($(VarToday), -6)) and Month <= Month($(VarToday)), Month)


If(Month > Month(AddMonths(Today(), -6)) and Month <= Month(Today()), Month)

How does Month field look like? I mean it's format? is it read as a dual month field or text?

text field

And is it just like Jan, Feb? Try this:

If(Month(Date#(Month, 'MMM')) > Month(AddMonths($(VarToday), -6)) and Month(Date#(Month, 'MMM')) <= Month($(VarToday)), Month)

If(Month(Date#(Month, 'MMM')) > Month(AddMonths(Today(), -6)) and Month(Date#(Month, 'MMM')) <= Month(Today()), Month)

or fix this in the script:

LOAD Month(Date#(Month, 'MMM')) as Month

I would have thought that this would work?

If(Month > Month(AddMonths(Today(), -6)) and Month <= Month(Today(), Month)

what does this show you?
