Generating quarters

MindaugasBacius — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 15:02:40 GMT

Hello,

I have a table like this:

ID	Start	End
1	2016-05-01
2	2016-08-01	2017-01-31
3	2016-04-01	2016-09-31

The idea is to generate the quarter intervals in between Start and End dates.

If field End is empty then the End should be the closest end of the quarter made from Start and Today() dates.

The result should be like this:

ID	Start	End
1	2016-05-01	2016-07-31
1	2016-08-01	2016-10-31
1	2016-11-01	2017-01-31
2	2016-08-01	2016-10-31
2	2016-11-01	2017-01-31
3	2016-04-01	2016-06-30
3	2016-07-01	2016-09-31

Thank you!

May be this?

Table:

LOAD ID,

Date(AddMonths(Start, +(IterNo()*3)-3)) as Start,

Date(AddMonths(Start, +(IterNo()*3))) as End

While AddMonths(Start, +(IterNo()*3)) < If(Len(Trim(End)) = 0, AddMonths(Today(), 3), AddMonths(End, 3));

LOAD ID,

Start,

End

FROM

Slight change to fix the end dates:

Table:

LOAD ID,

Date(AddMonths(Start, +(IterNo()*3)-3)) as Start,

Date(AddMonths(Start, +(IterNo()*3))-1) as End

While AddMonths(Start, +(IterNo()*3)) < If(Len(Trim(End)) = 0, AddMonths(Today(), 3), AddMonths(End, 3));

LOAD ID,

Start,

End

FROM

May be like this?

LOAD ID,

Start,

QuarterEnd(Start,IterNo()-1) as End

FROM

[https://community.qlik.com/thread/238899]

(html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @1)

while if(len(trim(End))=0,QuarterEnd(Start,IterNo()-1) <= QuarterEnd(today())

,QuarterEnd(Start,IterNo()-1) <= End);
