Problem whit month iteration (for...next)

Hello, i need to (monthly) iterate from InitMonth to ActualMonth but this code doesn't work

LET vActualMonth = Num(MonthStart(Today()));

LET vInitMonth = Num(MonthStart(AddMonths(vActualMonth, -2)));

FOR vLoopMonth = vInitMonth to vActualMonth step AddMonths(vLoopMonth, 1)

.

.

.

...

NEXT

Any help please?

If i skip the step expression i can iterate daily but i want to get a monthly iteration.

The step expression is only evaluated once and it is an increment, so that approach won't work. Here's another approach.

LET vActualMonth = Num(MonthStart(Today()));

LET vInitMonth = Num(MonthStart(AddMonths(vActualMonth, -2)));

FOR i = 0 to 2

          LET vLoopMonth = AddMonths($(vInitMonth), $(i));

          // Do something with vLoopMonth

NEXT i
