Hi,

In action you can execute a macro to set your variables used in slider.

This is an exemple for the macro to set variables(BeginDate, EndDate) in today and day befor:

sub InitiateDates

Date1=DATE

Date2=DATE -1

ActiveDocument.GetVariable("BeginDate").SetContent Date1, true

ActiveDocument.GetVariable("EndDate").SetContent Date2, true

end sub

Function DATE (in VB) get the current date

Hope it help

Venkat,
If you're using Time field in slider, setting "default position" is nothing more than making default seelction in time field.
Default selection is simple - you can find dozens of examples here on forums.
(No expressions in slider)

Hi Michael,

Can you pls share your knowledge on having default position for sliders.

i.e; in my file contians one barchart and one slider. In barchart i had taken a GROUP(couple of fields) as Dimension.

Based on selected field field from group in barchart, the slider gets effected in its min and max values. Upto here its working fine for me.

Now Very huge burden for me is, making the default position in slider for each field in a group from barchart.

How can i set the default position for slider when selects the fields from barchart.

Thnks
