Hi,
 
Is it possible to make a selection which contains all data in the period January 1st - last day of previous month? The standard list of periods doesn't seem to have this option.
 
Thanks!

You have to create a custom date function to handle the last day. This calculates the first day of the current month and then subtracts one day.
DateAdd("d", -1, Date(Year (CurrentDate), Month(CurrentDate), 1)-1)

Thanks,
 
As I am new in Crystal and programming in general, I am having trouble creating the custom function.
I figured the YearToLastMonth function would not need variables, as CurrentDate is the only relevant date in both January 1st of this year and last day of last month.
Anyway, Crystal asks me for variables and gives me a lot of errors when I am trying to make the function.
 
Any suggestions on how to create it, please? Thanks in advance!!
