Web Analysis and HFM : show Current Month

Question

Hi,
I tried to create a table which displays only figures coming from HFM and related to the current month.
In fact, I created a table which is populated with HFM data.
This table has only one column : "June", which is the current month.
What should I do to have automatically "July" the next time I open it if the current month is July ?
Thanks for your help folks,

Hi,
This can be achived,but little bit tedious process...
Create an intermediate report with three columns.
first column : Monthcolumn,which you are using in prompt.
Second column :This column is for selected month
Try to convert Jan 2012 to 201201,Feb 2012 to 201202...This can be achieved by writing a case statement like below
cast((Case when substring(column from 1 for 3)='Jan' then 01...........)||substring(column from 5 for 4) as int)
Third column:Prior month
cast((Case when substring(column from 1 for 3)='Jan' then 01...........)||substring(column from 5 for 4) as int)-1
Now add the same column formula to the main report and hide it(let's say column name will be "HIDED")
cast((Case when substring(column from 1 for 3)='Jan' then 01...........)||substring(column from 5 for 4) as int)
Now you can apply filter based on another request on the hided column.
HIDED<=Second column in intermediate report.
HIDED>=Third column in intermediate report.
Now you will get the desired reults in your report.
Hope this helps.
