Is that Current month in selection? Perhaps this

LET Variable1 = Today();

Hi,

You can create variable like below,

vMaxMonth

=max(Month(Today()))                // this will return latest year month no

or

=MonthName(addmonths(today(),1))  // this will return latest year with month name

and also you can write the expression in chart like below

=$(=max(month(Today())))

Hope this helps you

Regards,

Deva

=Month(Today()) will display Jun

just do Ctrl+Alt+V then click on add

name write vMonth in definition =Month(Today())

Not applicable

Hi there,

You can also do this by

LET vMonthYear =monthname(Today())

it will give you 'Jun 2017'

Thank You.
