I have a requirement that when i open the report i need to see the last month start date and last month end date as default prompt and if needed i can change the date as well.
I am using oracle as my db
I need the variables to be created in the Universe level under parameters.
I created a variable but it is not giving me the result as expected. Can anyone help me out with ready made query. It’s really urgent for me.
Variable what i have used in my parameter is below:-
RelativeDate((RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-1;MonthPeriod)); -(DayNumberOfMonth(CurrentDate())) +1;DayPeriod)
By doing the month subtraction first, you’re creating a problem when you’re at the end of a month with 31 days.
For today (3/31), your calculation is first getting this day last month (2/29), then subtracting one more than the current day of month (32). So, February 29 minus 32 days.
First day of last month:
RelativeDate(RelativeDate(CurrentDate();1-DayNumberOfMonth(CurrentDate());DayPeriod);-1;MonthPeriod)
I tried your query and i can see that still we are facing same issue. If we go with Feb month we are getting issue. For the Feb month i am getting start date as:- 01/31/2020 and End Date as:- 02/29/2020. Can you please try from your end once and can you please post the screenshot. So that i can discuss with my architect about the issue.
You can try from your end for Jan and Feb, You can see the issue from your end.
