Sorry I misread your earlier expression, it was correct if Date is DD/MM/YYYY then you had it right. Only other thing I can think of is to try it like this:

=SUM({<MonthYear=, Date={"$(vCurrMnth)"}>} DAYS)

Try defining the variable like this may be and check if that works:

vCurrMnth= ='>=' & Date(MonthStart(vMaxSalesDate)) & '<=' & Date(vMaxSalesDate))

Are you using the above in a set analysis expression?

There are few things that could be going wrong?

1) variable should be ='>=' & Date(MonthStart(vMaxSalesDate)) & '<=' & Date(vMaxSalesDate)) with the equal sign

2) What is vMaxSalesDate? Is it an actual date?

Would you be able to share a sample application?

Is this being used in a Calendar object as a search string?

Are you trying vCurrMnth or $(vCurrMnth)? My guess is that you are trying vCurrMnth. Try $(vCurrMnth) and see what you get.

now the text box is showing value as

>= 01/06/2015 <= 05/06/2015

i need to use the below exprn in pivot table.

SUM({<MonthYear=,Date={'$(vCurrMnth)'}>} DAYS)

its showing null values

What is the format of MonthYear? If it is anything except 'DD/MM/YYYY', you won't see any results. You need to change the format of your variable to the same format as MonthYear.
