Where i am creating a composite key and need to get the year and month field selected simaltnaeously in the application.
I want year & month as filters.
I need 2012 jan to be filtered in the list box.
Please let me know
you donot have data from 2012
I would recommend to use a master calender
Hi,
It is better if you create master calendar in your application.
Thanks for the reply
Could you please provide me sample code for master calendar?
Try this master calendar script code
DateData:
LOAD
YearStart( Today() ) + IterNo() as Date,
Rand() as Value
AutoGenerate 1
While (YearStart(Today()) + IterNo()) <= YearEnd(Today());
Final:
Load
*,
Date(Date) as DateNew
Resident DateData;
Master Calendar Generation Script

Hi John, check this document: Master Calendar Generation Script
In this part of the script:
Load
Min(InvoiceDate) AS MinDate,
Max(InvoiceDate) AS MaxDate
RESIDENT Invoice;
MinDate should store the start date of the calendar and MaxDate the end date, it can be dynamic absed on data like in the sample, you can fixed the dates using Date('YourDate') or you can create a variable that sets the min and max dates and use the variables to assign values to MinDate and MaxDate.
Thanks everyone
However in my application i have only year and month i dont have any date field.
Please respond now
Hi John, you can create only one record per month changing from:
Load Date(MinDate + IterNo() -1 ) AS InvoiceDate While (MinDate + IterNo() - 1) <= Num(MaxDate);
to:
Load Date(AddMonths(MinDate, IterNo() -1)) AS InvoiceDate While Date(AddMonths(MinDate, IterNo() -1)) <= Num(MaxDate);
Anyway, dont' worry too much for creating all dates, as it is another table you can create all dates without affecting your data. and if you load 5-6 years of dates there will be less than 2k extra records.
I suggest some of the main points
1. Make Master Calendar
2. To connect with the Date field create the date field with Makedate function.
Ex:-
Load
Makedate(Year, Month) as Datefield
