Grouping in a chart

sergi_arbos — Mon, 02 May 2016 11:52:07 GMT

I have a table with expedients and their OpenDate and CloseDate.

If an expedient is open for 1 to 5 days it must belong to group 1, if is open for 6 to 15, group 2, if it is open for 16 to 30 days then it must be on group 3... and so up to 8 groups.

My costumer wants to be able to choose an interval date StartDate and EndDate and then wants to know:

How many expedients are open (StartDate < CloseDate) in each group in that interval AND the sum of the days of the expedients in each group in the interval.

Result expected:

Caveas:

The group depends on the EndDate selected dynamically by the user, I mean:

if an expedient is open for 50 days (group 4) but the user selects the EndDate as OpenDate + 8, the expedient must be added to the Group 2 (from 6 to 15 days) and only 8 days must be add to the sum of the days on that group (not 50 days).

Thanks in advance,

I think you can use variables to take user inputs and set the ranges by using those variables. You have not provided a raw data sample to show you how it can be done, but I guess if you try it, you might be able to accomplish it on your own

I've been two full days working in it and I couldn't find any solution... nor my fellow coworkers.

I can give you some data, but it's only: expedient code, opendate, closedate

The problem is showing the data in a dimension (group1, group2...) that is dinamic as the user selects the StartData and EndData.

Yes those are the fields that we would need to come up with the solution. Please provide that information in an Excel file.

I've solved it with a custom dimension with an "if" for each group.
