Report Requirment for YTD and individual fisc periods

Question

Hi Team,
I have a requirement in the report that should have the below structure
                      Fiscal Year      Actual  Actual  Actual   Actual                                                 Actual    Actual
                                                YTD      2008     2009   2010                                                      2011     2012
Char1 Char1  FiscalPer                                                APR 2010  MAY2010 .... MAR2011
Fiscal Year and Fisc period are in column and Char1 and Char2 are in Rows of the report.
For a particular year alone, I need the actual amount splitted on fiscal year period and rest of the past and furture years the actual amount should be aggregated for the year.
Please let me know if have come across this scenario.

Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
I am assuming your scenario as followes -
If User enters year(user entry variable) - 'Y1', You need to display key figs by -  'Y1Period 1'....... 'Y1Period 12'. For rest of the years(future and past from Y1), data should be aggregated and displayed per year.
The solutions would be -
Create Restricted Key Figs, for Y1Period1 -  restrict it to user entry variable for year(Y1)  and then to posting period hard coded to 1. Similalry create rest of the key figs for each period by changing the hard coded period value for 1 through 12.
Create restricted key fig for past years from Y1 - restrict it to user entry variable for year(Y1) and then add offset of '-1'. Simmilarly create rest of key figs for other previous years by increaing offset -2, -3 so on.
Create restricted key fig for future years from Y1 - restrict it to user entry variable for year(Y1) and then add offset of '+1'. Simmilarly create rest of key figs for other future years by increaing offset +2, +3 so on.
Hope this helps.
