@UMAMAHESH,
The function you need is CURRENTPERIODSTART() which takes the setting defined in Time.
Since CURRENTPERIODSTART() returns a date, you can convert this to a Period with the following formula PERIOD(CURRENTPERIODSTART()). If you really want to be slick, you can create a module defined by Time, call it Time Filters, and create a line item (Is Current Month?) with a format of Boolean with this formula: ITEM(Time) = PERIOD(CURRENTPERIODSTART()).
This gives you the ability to check if the month is defined as the current period month (if .Time Filters'.'Is Current Month?' then ...... else .....).
Hope this helps,
Rob
Hi Rob,
Ya that's correct. Its working fine.
Thank you for your reply.
It's now possible to use the additional insights to have dynamic filters, however the columns in the table are fixed widths. It's quite unfortunate that the ability is added, but the layout isn't dynamic. I understand that a report is more fixed, but adding dynamic columns would really help make the management report…

A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
