Hi,

I'm using Oracle Business Intelligence 12.2.1.0.0 and I'm struggling to calculate the pYTD.

I've managed to get the YTD value using ToDate("Measures"."Revenue", "Time Dimension"."Year"). I tried pairing this with AGO("Measures"."YTD", "Time Dimension"."Year", 1) to get the pYTD. However, it's giving me the previous full year value rather than the value up to this time last year.

Thanks in advance,

Adam

    To sort this I ended up creating a repository variable which selects the current month number (EXTRACT(MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE)). Then I set a filter on the Analysis to only calculate the revenue when the month number is less than the variable I created.
