Hi experts,
Is there a way to get start period of a time range in a LineItem?

Use Period(start()) in your month formatted line item , time range dimension-ed module.
Similarly, you can check other functions like Currentperiodstart() and end() with respect to your requirement.

Hi @Tsuyoshi_Inoue
Create a number formatted line item called Cumulate with the formula:
CUMULATE(1)
Then create a day/week/month formatted line item called First period with the formula
IF Cumulate = 1 THEN ITEM(Time) ELSE PREVIOUS(First period)
Set the summary of this line item to MIN if required
Result
Let me know if this works

To get the very first period in the model time range use
OFFSET(1,-1,0) =0
will return TRUE only at the first time period of the model time range
The simplest way to achieve this is to create a time properties model set with year time period.
Create a single line item dimensioned by time period month
Use the following formula - Period(start())
This will generate the first time period of the year which you can then pull into your target modules.
The targets will need to be time dimensioned and will require the following formula
- YEARVALUE(Time Properties Year.First Period)
This is the simplest way to reference first period for any given year.
Period(start()) is the way to go as others have said, but also change the summary to First Non Blank.
First, make sure Total of All is turned on in your Time Range.
Create a SYS Time Filter module using the Time Range, in my case FY18. Create a line item with Period(start()) with a format of Time Period (month) if you are using month. Next, change the summary to First non-blank.
for a result of:
Now, you can get the final solution in a line item using a Select statement which is ok because it is structural data.
Hope this helps,

I am trying to create a Net Debt / EBITDA formula at the bottom of one of our P&L income statements where, i have tried the MOVINGSUM function. However this does not work for summary line items which EBITDA is. What i would like is to be able to sum the previous 12 months EBITDA (Including the current period) numbers in a…
I have this template to import back to my module By right it should match the module because the time format is the same as the module the only difference is that in the excel file there is a seperator. M-Y. Thus logically to me it should be But when i run the action using M-Y and match names both result in an import error…
Hi everyone, I was trying to Retrieve a Line Item (Boolean) using TIMESUM as formula to another module by using ANY. This Boolean LI has A,B,C as dimensions. My target module has only A as dimension. In order to use a reference module for mapping, does this reference module had to have A,B and C as dimension or just A…
