Value & date measure problem

Question

Morning,
    I am having an issue and would like to see if anyone could help me out...Here is my problem.
I have a prior YTD measure which is a sum of all of 2010 in a $ amount. What I am trying to do is return a value from this prior YTD figure that takes into account todays date with 'Calendar Month'. I am very close to solving this but I have run into a problem. My formula:
=[Prior YTD Figure] Where ([L01 Calendar Month]<= FormatNumber(MonthNumberOfYear(CurrentDate());"#"))
so for example when this forumula is run today in a WEBI, it returns values for not only January and Februray which it should but it also returns values for October, November and December which it should not. I have a temporary fix;
=[Prior YTD Figure] Where ([L01 Calendar Month]<= FormatNumber(MonthNumberOfYear(CurrentDate());"#")) And [L01 Calendar Quarter] InList ("1";"2";"3"))
Can anyone recommend a solution where i dont have to rely on my temporary fix? In a way to automate the forumula?
When broken down in the WEBI it should look like this(because todays month is Februay):
calendar month1 value
calendar month2 value
instead it looks like this:
calendar month1 value
calendar month10 value
calendar month11 value
calendar month12 value
calendar month2 value
Thanks,
Thomas

Answer 1

Even better, without modifying your Universe you could fix it by adding a ToNumber function to your formula, just like this.
=[Prior YTD Figure] Where (ToNumber([L01 Calendar Month])<= ToNumber(FormatNumber(MonthNumberOfYear(CurrentDate());"##")))
This way they will be treated like numbers.
