Filtering crosstab data by dates [message #882087]

I have a dataset that returns values for the past year. I create a last 12 month crosstab based on that.

I also want to show the last 12 weeks of values as well using the same dataset as above. I've set up my dimensions to be year and week of year. How do I only return the last 12 weeks of data for that particular crosstab?

I'm running BIRT 3.7.1

Kindest regards,
Shayne

Have you tried using a filter on the crosstab that make use of:
BirtDateTime.addWeek()

Use your date field as the expression and then use a between operator
and then the first value should be :
BirtDateTime.addWeek(new Date, -12) and the second value should be
new Date

it doesn't seem like I have access to the date field from the dataset in the crosstab filter area. I can filter based on dimensions which are year and week of year. Is there a way to get access to filter on the date in the data set?

Kindest regards,
Shayne

Take a look at the attached example. You also could make use of the new
relative time period report item described in this post:
