When using list versions, how do I make the movingsum formula include the forecast output for previous months in the calculation of a given months forecast??I cant include a "previous" function within the movingsum formula
@estebanmartinezanavate
This is the constraint that MOVINGSUM has. To achieve this functionality, break your formula in two different line items. In the first line item calculate the PREVIOUS value and in the second calculate the MOVINGSUM of the previous value.

@estebanmartinezanavate the trick is to know that most of the Time functions, if you "look in the past", you can reference the line-item itself, including the MOVINGSUM function (like a recursive reference).
Below is an example to calculate the Forecast months as AVG of the previous 12 months:
in a line-item called '12 months average for FCT' you can put a formula like:
IF Actual Month? THEN Actual Input ELSE MOVINGSUM('12 months average for FCT', -12, -1, AVERAGE)
How to consider a month as Actual or not, there are different ways to do it...
You can have the same approach for this formula also when you use Versions.
Hope it helps

Reading your query closely can I clarify your question.
Are you looking to include values from a diffferent version in your MOVINGSUM?
For example;
Current version is Forecast P2.
Do you need to pull the MOVINGSUM value relating to a previous version, in this case Forecast P1?
I am attempting to connect to an azure SQL database vis at the MSSQL connector in data orchestrator but am having issues and I believe it is due to hyphens in database name (which is a fairly standard naming convention I will note!)

Hi, for some reason my shipping costs are the same over every month and I don't know what to do to fix it.
Hello folks, Does anyone know how to work around the Polaris limitation of using the Formula or Ratio summary method alongside the Closing Balance within the same line item? I have a Business Unit list where the total (All BUs) must display the Corporate (1 of 20 leaf items under All BUs total) number of Unique Customers.…
