variable issue

Dear all,

i need your support in order to create a variable.

I try to explain: I turned a date into this format YYYYMM using this script

LET VPath_xx     =     num(year(today())*100+month(today())) and it works fine.

Now i would like to create another variable but subtracting 12 months from the current date.

The final result should be something like this : 201710



Could you please give me some suggestion ?

Thanks in advance for your support

have a nice day

Mauro

Hi Mauro,

Try this:

=date(addmonths(today(),-10),'YYYYMM')

I hope it helps.
