set analysis no identifier

I have a confusing question need help. My chart has year, month as dimension, also has category, sub category, vendor, item fields.

What I am looking for is the chart ignores year, but takes month and all fields selection. after spending more than half hour, finally, I got the below expression works,

SUM({<year=>}SALES)

I tried Sum({1-$<Year=>}SALES) but does not work.

I feel the latter expression is more understandable. why doesn't it work? Thanks.

SUM({<year=>}SALES)


is equivalent to


SUM({$<year=>}SALES)


(with the exception when your are using the expression in an alternate state context, but this is probably not your setting)


Why do you think, SUM({1-$<Year=>}SALES) is more understandable? What do you think this set expression describes?(as a side note, field names are case sensitive, so year and Year are different, but I think it's just a typo in your post)
