DateRange Picker

ift_isabelle — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 16:33:27 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for a Date range picker in Qlik sense, which will work in Sense server 3.0 and above.

The ones in the branch don't work.

Anyone a suggestion?

Kind Regards,

Isabelle

Unfortunately if none of them work you will either have to create your own or hope that Qlik comes out with one in the near future.

You can also create a filter on your date field and in the search box at the top you will have to type in your expression for the date range that you want to see. A pain. But it works.

I already thought so..

But maybe your other solution works. Is this a normal filterfield? Do you have an example of how it works?

Thanks in advance,

Isabelle

It worked fine in version 2.0 (server), but in version 3.0 my data doesn't respond on changes in de daterange picker.

So if i select 10-10-2016 to 31-10-2016, my data will just show everything from 1-1-2016.

I have seen it interact badly with other extensions being used in the same qvf.

You could try :

Download the latest version of the extension
Create a new qvf
Only put out of the box visualisations in it
Make sure your date field is a suitably formatted date
Add the DateRangePicker to it
Then see how it behaves

If still no joy, then would be able to upload a zip of the extension you are using and a sample qvf that is having problems with it.

I need it to work in my QVF where I use other extensions.

Do you know with which extensions it doesn't work?

To your test qvf, assuming to works with no other extension, add the other other extension one at a time and see if any of them break it.

From memory I saw it interact badly with the Climber Selection Bar.

Is it possible that it doesn't work with a lot of data?

I tried all my extensions, but it still works in my new QVF, but not in the app I want it to work.

Unlikely data volumes would affect it the way you described, but I cannot say for certain without seeing it.

I would copy and paste things one at a time from the bad qvf to the new good qvf, to try and find out what is the joker.

I know why it didn't work...

My date has the format dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm (01-11-2016 13:11). This Datepicker needs a floored date (01-11-2016).

So I used Floor (Date) as DateSelection in my script and now it works perfect...
