Deriving Calendars From Multiple Date Fields

Thu, 24 Aug 2017 17:15:39 GMT

I am trying to create a calendar with the same fields from three different date fields.

[MasterCalendar]:

DECLARE FIELD DEFINITION Tagged ('$date')

Fields

Dual(Year($1), YearStart($1)) as [Year] Tagged ('$axis', '$year') ,

Dual(Year($1)&'-'&Month($1), monthstart($1)) AS [YearMonth] Tagged ('$axis', '$yearmonth', '$qualified'),

Month($1) AS [Month] Tagged ('$month', '$cyclic'),

Date(Floor($1)) AS [Date] Tagged ('$axis', '$date', '$qualified'),

Time($1) AS [Time],

Time($1,'hh TT') AS [Hour];

DERIVE FIELDS FROM FIELDS %CALLDATETIME, %EVENTDATETIME, %LOGINDATETIME USING [MasterCalendar] ;

This only creates the calendar for %CALLDATETIME.

I also tried using 3 separate calendars deriving from one field each, and that does not work either.

Any ideas why this won't work?

Your code works 100% unmodified for me when I test it in Qlik Sense 2017 June release. Are you absolutely sure that both the fields %EVENTDATETIME and %LOGINDATETIME are really date fields?

I'm defining the three fields as follows, prior to trying to create the calendar.

Timestamp(Timestamp#(event_datetime,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss')) as %EVENTDATETIME

Timestamp(Timestamp#(logindatetime,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss')) as %LOGINDATETIME

Timestamp(Timestamp#(calldatetime,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss')) as %CALLDATETIME

Do you have some rows of data with the dates that you could supply as an LOAD * INLINE .... I still get things to work in my end ....
