PMF - TIME RANGE : YTD vs prior YDT
Hi,

Do anyone knows, if it's possible to create a :
YTD vs prior YTD.

In PMF there are :
-YTD vs prior (but it take all the previous year)

-Quarter vs prior (but we have to build 4 reports)


I've try to build "YTD vs prior YTD." but it seem impossible to have two discrete time value which ends values are according to the current time.

Example, the current date is 05/2012 :
We want : 01/2011 -> 05/2011 vs 01/2012 -> 05/2012.

Any ideas ?


Thanks,

Carlos,
The PMF data extraction pass only pulls data over continuous ranges.

To get what you want, you'd need to do two time ranges; one for current year YTD to current point in time; a second for prior year YTD to this point in time 1 year ago,

then perform the extraction twice,

then merge the results of these two to produce your final report.
