Custom Defined Parameter

Custom Defined Parameter

I've been using Zoho for the past few days.

One of the things missing is a Custom Defined Parameter that I can use in functions as well as user settings.

I could list multiple use cases for this but YTD and MTD would be my biggest requirement.

So for example - On the user filters I have Report Date - Which shows a date picker and I can select 2018-11-15 for example. This is linked to the User Parameter I have created paramReportDate

Now in my functions I can create Sales_YTD with something like this

SUMIF( SalesDate>='2018-01-01' AND SalesDate <= paramReportDate, SalesValue, 0 )

The Sales_MTD would be something like this

SUMIF( SalesDate>='2018-11-01' AND SalesDate <= paramReportDate, SalesValue, 0 )

Changing the Date Picker would then change both the month and year to date fields I've created.

I can then go further and create a function for previous year MTD based on Subtracting a year from the paramReportDate in the function so now I can compare 2017 and 2018 up to the 15th or the 14th of each month. Therefore comparing like for like.

If anyone knows of a way to do this please let me know.

Thanks
