how can we apply a filter on a saved search that contains only Months? I have generated a report that shows a comparison of two months sales Amount. (e.g comparison of Dec 2018 and Dec 2019) I want to take a month from the filter and compare sales of that month of the current year and the same month of the previous year? (e.g If we select November, then generate a report that compares sales amount between November 2018 AND November 2019 )

In saved search there is options in dates as different types like 'last month' , 'last month one fiscal quarter ago' etc.

I want to show only months for selection that user can select month instead of full date to filter the result

@Ehsan Ali There is also custom option which is like you could select for e.g say march as 1/3/2012 to 1/4/2012
just the thing that user have to select the starting days on
field start date and end date
or for end date may be like end date of that month
or You could also use the custom page i.e. suitelet where your script will do the selection in backend and give you set of result on identified label by end user from dropdown or text field.

@aaz Thanx for replying
You want to say that there is no option available in default filters of Netsuite that shows a dropdown of months name
if I want this then we need to create a custom page i.e suitelet script
right? am I understand your answer correctly?

For something like this you might want to look into creating custom fields to hold the values you want summarized values for and update those values with a map/reduce script at night so that you're not retrieving transactions spanning a year's worth of data.
