Hi,
One approach is to create attributes in your time dimension(s): e.g. "last month", "next month", next month+1" where you store the relevant element names. These names you can read out from the attribute cube in your rule.

Another approach would be using PALO.EINDEX/PALO.ENAME in combination to retrieve the element names - provided that your element indexes are in the right oder. You then need to take great care of your element indexes.
