Handling staff in Qlikview

Hi,

I'm making a staff-app but have encounterd a little problem regarding staff that end their employment.

Lets say I have a table similar to this;

Staff_tmp:
LOAD * INLINE [
    Id, Name, Hired_date, End_date, Value
    1, Arnold, 2018-01-01, , 8
    2, Steven, 2018-01-01, , 8
    3, Cloude, 2018-01-01, , 8
    4, Emma, 2018-01-01, , 8
    5, Sara, 2018-01-01, 2018-06-01, 8
    6, Donald, 2018-01-01, , 8
    7, Louise, 2018-01-01, , 8
    8, Roland, 2018-01-01, 2018-10-01, 8
    9, Thomas, 2018-01-01, , 8
 ];

What I want is;

1. When the user select ex. july, a textlabel show the number of employees that month (8 since Sara ended in june).

Thanks in advance!

You need some kind of master calendar in your datamodell containing all dates that you are interested to analyse. If you want help creating one there are a lot of examples available in the community or Google search.

With the calendar you can do an intervalmatch. See script below.

Staff:
LOAD Id, Name, Hired_date, alt(End_date, today()) as End_date, Value INLINE [
Id, Name, Hired_date, End_date, Value
1, Arnold, 2018-01-01, , 8
2, Steven, 2018-01-01, , 8
3, Cloude, 2018-01-01, , 8
4, Emma, 2018-01-01, , 8
5, Sara, 2018-01-01, 2018-06-01, 8
6, Donald, 2018-01-01, , 8
7, Louise, 2018-01-01, , 8
8, Roland, 2018-01-01, 2018-10-01, 8
9, Thomas, 2018-01-01, , 8
];

MasterCalendar:
Load
Date,
Month,
Year,
etc...
From calendar;

IntervalMatch(Date)
LOAD Hired_date, End_date
Resident Staff;

Sorry for not pointing that out, i DO have a master calender. I see I was a bit unclear (it was very clear in my head ).
What I need help with is the set analysis to show number of employees at a certain month taken account for when they start and end their employmeent.
Somthing like this (I know its wrong but just to show you want I need);

Count({<%Date<=End_date + %Date>=Start_date>} distinct ID)

count( {< 
   Hired_date = {"<=$(=min(%Date))"} , 
   End_date= {">=$(=max(%Date))", ''}  
   >} distinct Id)

This expression will work on the script below given that you have a data island calendar with a date field called %Date. The tricky part here is to fetch the empty End_date. You can not use this if the value is NULL(). I would as in my earlier example set the value to today or tomorrow for the field used in the set.

Staff_tmp:
LOAD * INLINE [
Id, Name, Hired_date, End_date, Value
1, Arnold, 2018-01-01, , 8
2, Steven, 2018-01-01, , 8
3, Cloude, 2018-01-01, , 8
4, Emma, 2018-01-01, , 8
5, Sara, 2018-01-01, 2018-06-01, 8
6, Donald, 2018-01-01, , 8
7, Louise, 2018-01-01, , 8
8, Roland, 2018-01-01, 2018-10-01, 8
9, Thomas, 2018-01-01, , 8
];

Close enough, it should be max(%Date) on Hired_date as well.
I also skipped Null-values and used Today() as suggested!

Thanks!

I'm happy to help.

If you use min(Date) you get people that where hired for the whole selected period. If you use max(Date) you get people hired the max date in your selection. When selecting a single date the outcome will be identical.

The combination max(Date) for Hired_date and min(Date) for End_date will return any staff hired inside the selected period.

Another approach, using a generated Fact table and the aggr() function.
