    Ok it was simple, but I will leave it here anyway

     

    MOVINGSUM(Date, 1, 52, FIRSTNONBLANK)

     

    thanks

    Well done...Quick question, instead of using the MOVINGSUM() function, could you just enable the summary for FirstNonBlank?

    I did try referring to DATE and then using First non blank in summary, but it brought the current date back, no the next one.

    Did you try using YearValue?  This assumes you don't want to span the year which I believe your MovingSum does since it is a rolling time period.  Again, happy you figured it out, I was just wondering if this alternative way would have worked for you.
