Previous Month [message #501267]

Hi.
My report contains a Dinamic Text which displays the Month of the Year and the Year, ex: "December 2009"

At the moment it displays the Current month - using the following expression:
BirtDateTime.month(BirtDateTime.today(),2)+" "+BirtDateTime.year(BirtDateTime.today())

Since this report is run the first day of the month, I have to change my expression to display the Previous month, ex: "November 2009".

Note that in January should display "December 2009" - but if that's too complex I can manually adjust my report once Rolling Eyes

.

Thanks.
Michele

Michele,

Try
BirtDateTime.month(BirtDateTime.addMonth(BirtDateTime.today( ),-1),2)+ " "+
BirtDateTime.year(BirtDateTime.addMonth(BirtDateTime.today() ,-1))
