I have some accounting data with entire, category and calendar table
I want my powerboat linguistic to answer queries assuming some default values e.g.
what is my sales [assume current year sales]
I have been able to connect sales with category and amount though it is still showing total value not the current year.
for working around the solution, i made a measure named "Current" is now() at its formula
but how can I make the system assume current in my example above
Date |
GL Code |
Amount |
GL Code |
Category |
Date |
Month |
Year |

Hi @sjehanzeb ,
I create a sample. Please check if this is what you want:
Or you can use "this year". Both have the same effect.

this wasn't exactly what i was looking for. the problem is that I related the information to fiscal year and not calendar year.
but as the question did not mention this, i am accepting the answer as correct.
