Scenario
Sometimes we may get a requirement to get the YTD on ficsal year period based on user input.The first thing we think of achieving it is by coding.Here i will give step by step walk through to get the same without coding.
Lets take an example we need to get the sales document count as YTD.
Step 1. Create a selection or RKF on Document count keyfigure
Drag and drop 0FISCPER in selection.Right click on 0FISCPER---Restrict--Show--Value ranges---Less than or equal to--Choose the variable 0P_FPER.
Step 2: Drag and drop fiscal year in the same selection.
Restrcit--Variable--Create new variable.Refer the screenshot for details
Hit the replacement path tab and give the details as mentioned in below screenshot
Note: We chose replace with Key so in offset we gave start length as 2 and length 4.Basically we are trying to get the year from the user input variable based on fiscal year period.
As fiscal year is compounded with fiscal year variant and it is stored in this fashion K42003. So to get the year we gave the lengths as above.
Now the final Selection or RKF looks look like this:
By following the above steps we can get the YTD on fiscal year period based on user input value.
