Iam using Discoverer 3.1, can you pls. help me with this query-
We do not use calender year meaning Jan till December instead we use the financial year April till March, how do I change this in Discoverer so as to reflect in date hierarchy, drilling into detail etc.
Regards
Neelima

You can use the function add_months
ex : if your fiscal year 2003 starts in april 2002 you can use the function to_char(add_months(date,9),'mm-yyyy')
you will see 01-2003 for any date in april 2002 and if you want to you can build a date hierarchy
regards
Geoffrey
