Hi,

It depends a bit on the definition of the tax-year item, assuming that it's a varchar2, this should work:

- create a condition on tax-year
- enter for the condition:
tax-year between :p_taxyear - 3 and :p_taxyear


where p_taxyear is the exisiting parameter on tax year (if there is a condition using this parameter already, you should alter that like stated above, instead of creating a new one).

If tax year is date field, let me know, then there is another solution.

Regards,
Sabine
