Highlighting trailing 3 months based on month selected

Padhumai Rathinavel Mar 16, 2017 12:58 PM

Hi,

I've been working on this issue for quiet some time now.I basically want the trailing 3 months from the month selected to be highlighted in a different color in the bar chart. For example - if I select Dec-16 then the months OCt-16,Nov-16 & Dec-16 should be highlighted in a different color compared to the other bars in the chart which remain the same.

Also Ive not been able to find a formula that would capture trailing 3 months based on month selected.

IT would be great if someone gave me any pointers on this.

Thanks,

Padhumai

Hi Padhumai,

The following calculated field should do the trick. I've attached a workbook as well, but it is unfortunately 10.2. Hopefully the screenshot provides enough information.
