    So if you create a new physical measure that contains all of the logic you had previously had, using case statements rather than function filters, then you can create a logical measure using the AGO functionality to get a prior quarter, and with AGO it will have no issue with going 2018 Q1 back to 2017 Q4.

    Hi,

    you can create AGO functionality in answers as well as in the repository, so if you need to do multiple period comparisons then you might want to just use the necessary syntax in answers.

    What I was suggesting is that you might want to create a new measure for all of the non-time filtering that you were doing in answers, then you have an homogeneous measure that can be used by anyone in any report without the complexity of nesting X filters to get there.

    I was also suggesting that you might also want to create one Quarter AGO (QAGO) measure that can also be utilised by anyone, its time frame would always be relative to the time frame of the row that it is in, so if you had;

    2018Q1

    2018Q2

    2018Q3

    2018Q4

    2019Q1

    In a report then just by using the QAGO measure you would get

    2018Q1  vs  2017Q4

    2018Q2  vs  2018Q1

    2018Q3  vs  2018Q2

    2018Q4  vs  2018Q3

    2019Q1  vs  2018Q4

    OBIEE is about the modelling in the rpd, create useful homogeneous units and you facilitate a highly flexible easy to use and simple BI solution for all of your BI users, not just the isolated few who have technical skills.

    Finally after removing the filters- fiscal year,period and quarter from criteria pane and also i have modified the amount column formula in the report.

    Now the data is coming as expected.

    Thank you for each and everyone for their valuable suggestion and inputs.

    Still that points to SEVERE deficiencies of your models and massive error potential. You may want to review your RPD and not just continue on with it.

    Not to burst your bubble, but if your "technical team" implemented this they will most likely tell you there is no problem
