# GETCURRENTRANGE

The GETCURRENTRANGE funtion returns a range of value based on active period and period selection.

### Syntax

DS.(SERIES).GETCURRENTRANGE()

### Example

Consider the below table that has Sales values for all months in a year. Our objective is to find the Quarter-1 Sales value.

<table><thead><tr><th width="83">Periods</th><th width="83">Jan</th><th width="64">Feb</th><th width="64">Mar</th><th width="64">Apr</th><th width="64">May</th><th width="64">Jun</th><th width="64">Jul</th><th width="64">Aug</th><th width="64">Sep</th><th width="64">Oct</th><th width="64">Nov</th><th width="64">Dec</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:purple;">Sales</mark></td><td>845</td><td>122</td><td>561</td><td>681</td><td>594</td><td>842</td><td>1153</td><td>674</td><td>951</td><td>154</td><td>214</td><td>854</td></tr></tbody></table>

To get the value of First Quarter sales, we should first set the Value display as Sim.Months and keep Jan to Mar as the Simulation Period. Then give the formula as:

<mark style="color:blue;">**`SUM`**</mark>**`(`**<mark style="color:blue;">**`DS`**</mark>**`._Sum_of_2023.`**<mark style="color:purple;">**`[Sales]`**</mark>**`.`**<mark style="color:blue;">**`GETCURRENTRANGE`**</mark>**`())`**

{% hint style="info" %}
Change the Sim.Months according to the values you want to achieve. If you want to get Q4 Sales you should set the Sim.Months as Oct to Dec.
{% endhint %}

### Result

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="271"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Q1 Sales</td><td>1528</td></tr></tbody></table>
