title: ApplySimple Formula for Current year in Microstrategy
body: <p>I'd like to nkow how to extract the current year using an ApplySimple formula for an Oracle DB being used on microstrategy.</p>
  
  <p>The formula I tried is :</p>
  
  <p>ApplySimple("to_char(SYSTIMESTAMP,'Year')")</p>
  
  <p>Even though this formula is a valid one - when I try using this formula to create an attribute , and display it in a report , I get no results( blank column )</p>
  
  <p>What I'm essentially trying to do is compare this current year attribute to another year attribute and create  afilter based on this.</p>
  
  <p>Any help wll be much appreciated!</p>
