rajinikanth — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 11:57:58 GMT

Hi All,

I have data as below.

Date	Flag	ID
1-Apr-21	Yes	R7
1-May-21	Yes	R7
1-Jun-21	Yes	R7
1-Jul-21	Yes	R7
1-Aug-21	Yes	R7
1-Sep-21	No	R7
1-Oct-21	No	R7
1-Nov-21	Yes	R7
1-Dec-21	Yes	R7
1-Jan-22	No	R7
1-Feb-22	Yes	R7
1-Mar-22	Yes	R7
1-Apr-22	Yes	R7
1-May-22	Yes	R7

My requirement is to get output as below table.

Date	Flag	ID	Age date
1-Apr-21	Yes	R7	1-Apr-21
1-May-21	Yes	R7	1-Apr-21
1-Jun-21	Yes	R7	1-Apr-21
1-Jul-21	Yes	R7	1-Apr-21
1-Aug-21	Yes	R7	1-Apr-21
1-Sep-21	No	R7	null
1-Oct-21	No	R7	null
1-Nov-21	Yes	R7	1-Nov-21
1-Dec-21	Yes	R7	1-Nov-21
1-Jan-22	No	R7	null
1-Feb-22	Yes	R7	1-Feb-22
1-Mar-22	Yes	R7	1-Feb-22
1-Apr-22	Yes	R7	1-Feb-22
1-May-22	Yes	R7	1-Feb-22

My requirement is the minimum date for an ID when the Flag ='Yes', should be my "Age date", when I have a breakage in Flag for value 'yes' and it becomes 'No' then my "Age date" should be null, and again when the flag = 'Yes', form there the "Age date" should start again till 'No' appears

Hi,

If you want to do in a chart something like this (should be the same in Qlik Sense as QlikView);

Cheers,

Chris.

Not sure what I was looking at when I did this. Think you have to do the script as you can't get the right number to feed the above function.

Thanks for the support, it worked out for me by adding one more small condition to it.

If([Date]=[Age date],[Age date],

if([Flag] = 'No', null()
,if(([Flag] = 'Yes' and peek([Flag]) <> 'Yes'), [Date]
,peek([Age date])
))) as as [Age date]
