How to get data from current period -1 of current period

Luis98

Hello, 

 

I need to get data from Aug 21 to Sept 21, but i dont want to use "Previous month", if not something like "current month -1", it´s possible?

 

Thanks

Hi @Luis98 

 

Previous is the best way to go about it if you consider engine load on Anaplan but you can also use LAG or OFFSET. The least efficient would be to do a Month-1 and then lookup basis that. 

There is a beautiful thread comparing these 4 functionalities which you can find here: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Anaplan-Platform/Performance-Comparison-OFFSET-LAG-PREVIOUS-LOOKUP/td-p/51140 

 

Let me know if this is helpful 🙂

Hi Luis,
Misbah has given the best solution to this question on your other thread and when Misbah says something, Anaplan usually obliges 🙂
