Hi
I am trying to calculate a rolling inventory turn for the past 12 months through direct query.
The user can select the ending period by either using a selector YEAR, then MONTH. So I could select year 2018, then month 01. So I would want to calculate the inventory turns using EOM_STK table, field - SALES. This would be from Feb-17 to Jan 18.
So I calculate stock turns as Sales for past 12 months, divided by EOM_STK( Stock on Hand)
So the user selects Jan-18 and I would plot inventory turn for Jan-18 by using total sales of Feb-17 to Jan-18 divided by EOM stock on hand for Jan-18
I would like to plot a line graph for the past 12 months of the inventory turns each month
So for example
Jan-18 3.1
Dec-17 3.2
Nov-17 3.0
...
FEB=17 2.8
I have looked at some examples using calculate, however, the key words, DATEADD, PREVIOUSYEAR & others eithe cannot be used or not valid.
Obviously, I would want to control here is actually 12 months of data once the user has selected the ending period and return an error if not.
Can anybody help ?
Thanks in advance
