Select - next logic for copy data

Question

Hi,
I have 3 main values from an excel template: a specific data value (i.e. 35), in that same template one is TIME  and the other one is  $$$.
What I have to do is copy  the $$$ amount starting from the date set in the template (TIME) through X number of months (i.e.35).
All this is going to be obtained from a template, I cant use prompt.
Lets say:
X: 35
$$. 100
TIME: 2011.July
To do:
Repeat 35 times the amount 100, starting from 2011.July to the next months.
Therefore, 2011.August, 2011.September,etc,etc---> 2012.Jan....2013-Jan  and so on until the 35 months are reached.
I am trying to make some logic using the Select command, however I dont quite understand how to perform this. Equally using the logic NEXT i think it will be helpful.
Any suggestions...? I cant share my logic because im still trying and mine does not work.
Thanx in advance.

Hi Madis,
Thanx for the response, i reaally appreciate it.
I created the dim DURACION as user defined. Included for the moment 25 members (numbers) and it wasnt matched to any application.
Now, the script where i am working is called Test.
1. I typed in my script the following:
**SELECT (%MYSET%,ID,Duracion,"[ID]<=MYDURACION")
2.Entered to BPC Excel - eData - organize package list - select script Test  and added the following:
'DEBUG(ON)
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"Select whether to check work status settings when running logic.",1,{"Yes, check for work status settings before running logic","No, do not check work status settings"},{"1","0"})
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,"Please select category, entity and time for restatement",%TIME_DIM%)
PROMPT(Text,%INPUTDURACION%,"Enter No of duracion",,"")
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,"FUNCTION MYDURACION=H%INPUTDURACION%")*
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%..AdminApp%APP%TestAlldoraVentas2.lgx)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)
Now... im having trouble because after validating & saving, it shows the error:
- Invalid column name 'MYDURACION' in:select ID from mbrDURACION where <=MYDURACION
Can you please help me...
So far, I have the following logic for performing a "calc each period"  once  YEAR.MONTH  is introduced by a prompt.
The xdim members are making reference to a particular situation, the important stuff here is that if I pass a hardcored # of periods to the XDIM - next logic it works, and im trying to apply your suggestion...
*CALC_EACH_PERIOD
*XDIM_MEMBERSET lob=servicios_out
*XDIM_MEMBERSET consumibles=consumibles_dummy
*XDIM_MEMBERSET vendedor=04
*XDIM_MEMBERSET cliente=5
*XDIM_MEMBERSET oi=400000
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIEMPO=%tiempo_set%,next
*WHEN METRICA
*IS importe
*REC(metrica="importe",tiempo=next(1))
*ENDWHEN
**SELECT (%MYSET%,ID,Duracion,"[ID]<=MYDURACION")
However, is there still a way to pass a # of periods by excel?... this is, not using a prompt but by reading the number form a specific CV ?
Thanx again
