Month filter between two ranges based on user response inIDT

Question

Hi,
I am working on SAP BO4.0.I have a requirement of creating a month filter on a date which will be between two ranges.The first range is the user response and the second range will be 6 months added to that user response.For eg:-If a user enters 1 as the response for month prompt then the date will be filtered between 1 and (1+6)=7.The database used is SAP HANA.
Please let me know if further clarifications are required.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Riddhi ,
afaik this is not doable in UDT/IDT .Only thing we can make is to run the report for last month by using magic dates concept.
Check below logic if it helps.
For a requirement to run a report for  fiscal year starting date to last month if nothing selected .
@Select(Time\Yr-Mth Key)  between@Prompt('From Date','A','Time\Month / Year',mono,primary_key,,{'JUL 2013'}) and   
(case when @Prompt('To Date','A','Time\Month / Year',mono,primary_key,,{'JAN 1999'})='JAN 1999' then to_char(add_months(sysdate,-1),'YYYYMM')  
else  
@Prompt('To Date','A','Time\Month / Year',mono,primary_key,,{'JAN 1999'}) end)
This is on Oracle Database.
When you run webi report
From Date : JUL 2013 (fiscal year start date)
To date : JAN 1999( without changing this you can refresh the report for last month , else it'll refresh for selected month)
