How to make a master calender for this

ss2q — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 08:12:18 GMT

I want to make a master calendar so when I choose Year as filter and choose 2022 it should pick results for that year from two tables and show.

I have two files called Invoice and Order and the common field between them is Order Number. It's Order_No in the invoice file and ORDER_NUMBER in the order file. I created their relationship with the data manager but I don't know how to make the master calendar and how to use it.

I extracted the year from GL_DATE from the invoice file and the year from ORDERED_DATE from the order file but for my analysis, I want to use GL_DATE year as my filter and it should automatically match with ORDERED_date year.

So, I will be grateful if someone can tell me how to do it in step by step.

Hello,

What you need to do is create a common calendar for both dates.

It exists several solutions for it. Attached you will find the Qlik doc with the best practices.

Hope it helps.

On main add like this (sorry is in Spanish but you can change it at your convienience:

Set Hoy=Today();
Set FechaInicioCarga=YearStart(addYears($(Hoy), -5));

then create a new section :New script "Calendario"

Unqualify 'Fecha';
Unqualify 'DiaFecha';
Unqualify 'MesFecha';
Unqualify 'AñoFecha';

Calendario:
LOAD DISTINCT
date($(FechaInicioCarga)+RecNo()-1) as #Fecha,
date($(FechaInicioCarga)+RecNo()-1) as Fecha,
Day(date($(FechaInicioCarga)+RecNo()-1)) as DiaFecha,
Month(date($(FechaInicioCarga)+RecNo()-1)) as MesFecha,

AutoGenerate YearEnd($(Hoy))-$(FechaInicioCarga)+0
// AutoGenerate ($(Hoy))-$(FechaInicioCarga)+365
