Hi ,

We have function like Closing period.
try this.

helo laxman

send full detail query, month should change dynomically, i want use this data item in calculation.

iam in confusion.

I'm not sure of what you are asking exactly but you can get last day of the month like this....
_add_days (_first_of_month (current_date), -1)

if you want it based on a field replace current_date with that field.  does that help at all?

like if select september  in prompt  it has to calculate jan to aug(243 days)
                  august       in prompt   it has  to calulate jan to jul(212 days)


my formula like(VOL (MM)) >= 0.01 ) then ( POOL (M) + RAC (M) ) * 360 ) / ( VOL (MM) * Month Last Day ) ) else ( 0 ) )

september  in prompt  it has to calculate jan to aug(243 days)
august       in prompt   it has  to calulate jan to jul(212 days)
october       in prompt   it has to calculate jan to sep (273 days)

help me out

If the prompt could return a date value, you could use _day_of_year(_last_of_month([Prompt Date]))

If the prompt returns a string, it may be possible to turn that into a date and use something similar to the above formula.

i  resolved the issue

Thanks for every one for helping
