Hi Guys!
I am trying since last week to create a YTD Function or something inside the Developer Studio. I have created a synonym that has Date Field and a sales Measure...and I need to have the Sales for YTD... when they place the Calendar (date) in the Web Focus Report (InfoAssist), like September 2013, and move Sales YTD, they need to see the Sales for entire Yr until Sep. I tried creating User Defined Function... or a Compute inside the Definition...but I didnt have luck FrownerFrowner Any help would be really appreciate it!!!
Thx, Pats.

Maybe this will give you some help.
  
-DEFAULTH &YEAR = '1996'
-DEFAULTH &MNTH = '09'

DEFINE FILE GGSALES
DATE_YYMD/YYMD = DATECVT(DATE, 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD');
MNTH/M = DATE_YYMD;
YEAR/YYYY = DATE_YYMD;
END

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM
   DOLLARS/D20.2CM AS 'Dollars'
   COMPUTE CUM_DOLLARS/D20.2CM = IF MNTH NE LAST MNTH THEN CUM_DOLLARS + DOLLARS ELSE CUM_DOLLARS; AS '*** Dollars'

BY YEAR AS 'Year'
BY MNTH AS 'Month'
WHERE YEAR EQ '&YEAR';
WHERE MNTH LE '&MNTH';
END

Thank you so much Mighty for your reply.
I am pretty new in WF.. I started last week working on it. And am not sure where should I add those Define File and Table File... is not only for Report painter? And does not work for my Synonym Definition?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you need some training.
Can't really help you in that area.
There are some tutorials in the Dev Studio help files.

Hi Pats,

Welcome to Focal Point!

Since you're fairly new to WebFOCUS and InfoAssist, I'd like to recommend opening a case on InfoAssist Online. We can look at your files and determine the best approach for this.

Thanks and regards,

Kathryn
