Dynamic selection of monthly columns data

Rao MMar 14 2025

Hi,

We have a legacy table structure with budget_amount_month1, budget_amount_month2……budget_amount_month12.

Need to select totals based on current_month number which we know based on gl_periods table.

Ex: current month number = 3.

How to we sum data for current_month, upto_current_month.

Basically.

for current month(ex:March number 3) budget_amount_month1+budget_amount_month2+budget_amount_month3

When the query runs in April : budget_amount_month1+budget_amount_month2+budget_amount_month3+budget_amount_month4.

We know the month number.

Please advise dynamic addition of the columns.. which have month number as last characters of the column name.

thanks
