A "current month" object prompts for a month. A "prior month" object prompts for the same thing, but offsets by one month. Using the proper condition object in each data provider should provide what I think you are requesting.

I am able to comapre it using alters and displaying trend icons ( up & down arrow)..however currently i have hardcoded the query filter like current month= feb-11 and last month=jan-11 in two diff data providers. Here is the requirement:- I have two dp's: 1) current month : it will contain prompt on "month name" which user will enter 2) previous month : it will contain filter on object "last month" which i have created using formula add_months(month, -1) in oracle... I now want that user shud only enter feb-11 ( in prompt for 1st dp) however in the 2nd dp it shud auto pass "jan-11" for last month..so it will calculate data for last month.. Basically i want to pass current month name in 1st and it shud pass last month automatically in 2nd dp... Is there any trick at universe level??? Plss let me know how we can do this.... Hi Dave,

Basically i want to pass current month name in 1st and it shud pass last month automatically in 2nd dp…

Is there any trick at universe level???

Plss let me know how we can do this….

I don't have access to the sql portion using "Next_Day()". So, I had to generate a start and end of week using objects in the report designer. First off I had to change the day of week to start on sunday instead of monday: <strong>Name of variable object:</strong> DayOfWeek <strong>designer code:</strong> <code>= If (DayNumberOfWeek() =7)Then ( 1 ) Else DayNumberOfWeek()+1</code> Then from there I was able to determine the first of the week and end of the week based of the date used. <strong>Name of variable object:</strong> EndOfWeek <strong>designer code:</strong> <code>=-+7</code> <strong>Name of variable object:</strong> StartOfWeek <strong>designer code:</strong> <code>=-+1</code> Hope this was helpful.

Name of variable object: DayOfWeek

designer code:
= If (DayNumberOfWeek() =7)Then ( 1 ) Else DayNumberOfWeek()+1

Then from there I was able to determine the first of the week and end of the week based of the date used.

Name of variable object: EndOfWeek

designer code:
=-+7

Name of variable object: StartOfWeek

designer code:
=-+1

Hope this was helpful.

Even though i am playing with Teradata and BOXIR2 i dnt have option to use calendar table. That’s how i reached in your blog :). Hoping some where i can find the answer :). I had search in BOB, many of option are including the calendar table. Anyway as of now i got an option in bo we can use week (transaction date) Eg: week: week (19/08/2006) Result will be 33 :) Previous week: week (19/08/2006)-1 Result will be 32 :) I need to do more research in it. Thank you :) teddy Hi Dave,

Do you have a calendar table in your system? That's often a good place to start. The functions shown in this series of posts are designed to work without a calendar table. Teradata has the built-in calendar sys_calendar.calendar that you might be able to use in your case. That's as far as I am going to go here. Thanks for understanding.
