Finding the date range(Qlik Sense)

Hi all,

I have two data tables; first one contains the price details of the product sold by a company and this price varies with time. There is a recording made in the table when there is a change in the price or a new company is added.

The second table contains the purchase data, i.e, product purchased from which company on which date. I need help in finding the price of the product based on the company it is bought and also check the date to map the price.

Thank you.

If you have the two tables with the same columns as you specify except that the price in table #2 is left out - you can calculate that price in a GUI table with the following expression:

FirstSortedValue( Price , -If(PriceDate<=Date,PriceDate) )


Well to also get the N/A rows you will have to use an If() function also like this:

If(IsNull(FirstSortedValue( Price , -If(PriceDate<=Date,PriceDate) )),'N/A',FirstSortedValue( Price , -If(PriceDate<=Date,PriceDate) ))

Here is how it looks like in Qlik Sense in a sheet in edit mode:
