Make an app with a date tool/connected to a filter.

 

It should be possible to do this without transpose/crosstab via dynamic select but I'm still working on getting my formula down.  I'll update with a second version - but this one works via transpose/filter/crosstab.

Hi apathetichell,

 

Thank you so much for your quick response.

 

I have checked the workflow but it gives me selected month fields only.

 

My expectation is if i select April then it should be select all fields from Jan till Apr instead of giving only Apr month field.

If i select month feb then i should select the fields from Jan till Feb likewise.

 

I hope you understand my requirement.

 

Thanks again 🙂

sorry - just noticed - you wanted the range up to month. Here it is.

Yeah - fixed it in the non-dynamic version... Off to try to fix it in the dynamic select one...
