THX for your information. This is what I was looking for!! One small Question. Could you let me know why we need to use FIXED LOD for 'Latest date'? If I use MAX(DATE), it also works.

Hi Abhishek, nice video!!! If you choose another date in your parameter, will you see the amount of the new date or you will see always the amount of the last update?

Regards!!!

Please how do you use this dynamic parameter with a "Range" and set it to default to a specific Quarter? Giving you a Range Date instead of Relative Date
