Hi All ,

Can someone please explain me what does this below two variables do ?

Iam clear about the first variable vReportBegning  this will give me last thirteen months data..

I am confised with the second vairable vReportMonthAccumalate ..

Let vReportBegning = Date(MonthStart(AddMonths(Today(),-13)));

Let vReportMonthAccumalate = MonthStart(AddMonths(Date#('$(vReportBegning )'),-1));

I want to get the 13 monhts from the second variable also..

The second variable is equivalent to:

Date(MonthStart(AddMonths(Today(),-14)));

The first variable gives that, you can use the same expression or the variable itself.

Is there a way to get the uouptu for 13 months using the below variable only ?

Let vReportMonthAccumalate = MonthStart(AddMonths(Date#('$(vReportBegning )'),-1));


Because i have to use the first variable in the second as it is the requirement ...

Thanks

I guess, you better explain your actual requirement here rather than just talking about the variables. It seems that problem could be somewhere else, because trying for different expressions for same expected output doesn't make a lot of sense.

Try like this then:

Let vReportMonthAccumalate = $(vReportBegning )


It will give you 13 months again

in the script

Set vReportBegning = Date(MonthStart(AddMonths(Today(),-13)));

Let vReportMonthAccumalate = 'MonthStart(AddMonths($' &'(=vReportBegning),-1))';

in the UI$(=vReportMonthAccumalate)-$(=vReportBegning)
