Can a BEx query meet this reporting need ?

Question

Data in the cube
Fiscal Period Vendor Amount
2008012    V1        10$
2009001    V1        1$
2009002    V1        4$
Results if I use exception aggregation to define Total Amount :
Fiscal Period Vendor Amount  Total Amount
2008012    V1        10$         10$
2009001    V1        1$           11$
2009002    V1        4$           15$
But when I keep filter on 2009001 it shows :
Actual results
Fiscal Period Vendor Amount  Total Amount
2009001    V1        1$           1$
How can I set the query to actually show :
Expected Results
Fiscal Period Vendor Amount  Total Amount
2009001    V1        1$           11$

Hi Samuel,
In that case, try this solution. I havent tried it, So not sure will work or not...
Suppose you give the 0FISCPER selection range as 01.2009 to 02.2009. Write a customer exit variable (say, ZV_FPER) which will give you the "LOW" value of the range, i.e., 01.2009.
in the report, create one more column (Say, PREV_AMT) which has the Amount keyfigure, and restriction 0FISCPER < ZV_FPER. Also put that as Constant Selection which is very important.
now in the report, create a formula column which will have the formula as AMOUNT + PREV_AMT.
Now this formula will give you the desired result, I guess. Pls try and let us know...
Regards,

I Put the selection as 0FISCPER <= ZV_FPER before. It should be 0FISCPER < ZV_FPER. Corrected. Thanks...
