Is there a way to reference a presentation variable in another column in the same prompt? Say I have a prompt with two columns: Fiscal Year & Month.

The Fiscal Year is Set as a Presentation Variable called "FY".

For the Month I would like to use a SQL Results statement in the "Show" column for the Month which limits the Months shown to only those within the selected Fiscal Year.

SELECT Time."Month" FROM "Sales - Order Process" WHERE Time."Fiscal Year" = //value of the presentation variable fiscal year

Is this possible? And what would I write to get the value of the presentation variable FY?

Thanks!

@Anonymous,

Better to use a repository (session) variable instead.
