Hello everyone!

I need to get the data from a previous day to my initial date, which have a variable (vFechaInicial).

The following expression runs but when I have a field (FechaInformacion):

Max ({<FechaInformación = { "<$ (= max (FechaInformación))"}>} FechaInformación)

But when I try to get my Variable I get error:

Anyone know where I'm wrong, or if I need to add something?

If not achieve understand what you need.

already you tried the following?

= Date (vFechaInicial-1, 'DD / MM / YYYY')

in this case defined the vFechaInicial variable with the value 02/19/2016

- - -

No se si logre entender bien lo que necesitas.

ya intentaste lo siguiente?

=Date(vFechaInicial-1,'DD/MM/YYYY')

en este caso defini la variable vFechaInicial con el valor de 19/02/2016

What is your variable containing? If it is a field name, then regardless of any error, you should get expected output. But if it is an expression, this may or may not work.

Best,

Sunny

Hi Karina,

It's hard to help without a sample. In case you expect to have different prev. dates for each row this will hardly work since (a.f.a.i.u.) set analysis applies to a chart in a whole and cannot vary its outcome from row to row.

Best regards,

Maxim

Hi, Karina.

     For the previous month :

     =Date (Addmonths(vFechaInicial,-1), 'DD/MM/YYYY')

    

     For the previous year.

     =Date (AddYears(vFechaInicial,-1), 'DD/MM/YYYY')

    

Regards.
