Hey prasadboxir3,
I solved the same issue for Quarters earlier and my DB is SQL Server, Hope it will helps you a lot.
The solution is to add a condition to your query filter. Conditions have the yellow funnel Icon and are listed under the class in the Data Tab.
Adding a Class Condition Filter in done in the Universe Designer. Defining a condition object is described in the Universe Designer Guide, Chapter 5.
While in designer, right click a class and choose Condition. Name your condition and provide the Where logic to get the last four quarters of data. Since the logic can be complex, here's two MS SQL Server examples of quarter based conditions:
Name: Case Begin Date This Quarter:
WHERE: Code:
@Select(CaseProgram\Case Begin Date) BETWEEN DATEADD(qq, DATEDIFF(qq,0,getdate()), 0) AND DATEADD(ms, -2, DATEADD(qq, DATEDIFF(qq, -1, GETDATE()), 0))
Name: Case Begin Date Last Quarter:
Where: Code:
@Select(CaseProgram\Case Begin Date) BETWEEN DATEADD(qq, -1, DATEADD(qq, DATEDIFF(qq, 0, GETDATE()), 0)) AND DATEADD(ms, -2, DATEADD(qq, DATEDIFF(qq, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
Conditions based on the current date/time provide the point of reference for your date calculations. Use the GetDate function along with the Between function. If your date field includes the time, don't forget to include the time (23:59:59) on the second date. This is done by subtracting the 2 milliseconds.
Once the conditions are in the universe, drag the condition into the query filters area of the Edit Query screen. The advantage of using conditions is that your report can now be scheduled and does not require a user prompt.
Just do it for Month/Year object for your req.
Let me know if you have any concerns.
Gracias...!!
