Query Design Logic

Question

Hi Experts,
Here is My Requirement.(Trend analysis Report)
The objective of the report is to analyze trend of certain key figures at family / class/ brick level for previous 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 (each indivivdual reports) months on the basis of geographical hierarchy. It will display the results of key figures for the time period chosen in the input date range. Depending on the type of report generated (3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month), the report will also output the same set of key figures, for the same number of days as in the chosen date range, but at a historical level.
KF's are Net Value, stock outs,  etc
Can you give me the logic.
Advance Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi
  Let us take u want to show the data of key figure "X" for this monht, previous month and the data for 2 months before, what  you have to do is
1.) restrict ur KF "X" with the time characteristic(0calmonth or 0fiscper of ur cusom defined object) and this time char should be user defined value (manual entry variable) to get the value for the month whatever the user enters.
2.) to get the value for previous month do the same thing what i said above and take offset "1" on ur time char;
3.) to get value for 2 months before data do same thing what i said above and take offset "2"
Like this u can get data for whatever month u want.*
Hope u understand
