Help with listboxes

Anonymous — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 11:11:40 GMT

Guys,

I created two listboxes with month(Invoice Date) and year(Invoice Date).

When I select year 2015 in year(Invoice Date) it shows the month options for the same year but when I select month in the listbox month(Invoice Date) the year goes off from the year listbox.

Same thing is happening when going through the same process vice-versa.

Any suggestions?

Hi adheesh,

could you upload your qvw OR a couple of Screenshots to better illustrate the issue?

Month is a number or a string not related to the year, if you select February for example which year must be selected?

One approach could be using Year month selectors, a list box showing something like

201401 for jan 2014 and so on

I assume you mean you used expressions instead of fields for the listboxes? Selections in a listbox are made in the underlying field, which is in this case the same invoice date. As the selection changes the other listbox goes off. I suggest you create the month, year fields in the load script

Create your Month & Year in script

QuartersMap:

MAPPING LOAD

rowno() as Month,

'Q' & Ceil (rowno()/3) as Quarter

AUTOGENERATE (12);

Temp:

Load

min(OrderDate) as minDate,

max(OrderDate) as maxDate

Resident Orders;

Let varMinDate = Num(Peek('minDate', 0, 'Temp'));

Let varMaxDate = Num(Peek('maxDate', 0, 'Temp'));

DROP Table Temp;

TempCalendar:

LOAD

$(varMinDate) + Iterno()-1 As Num,

Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1) as TempDate

AutoGenerate 1 While $(varMinDate) + IterNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate);

MasterCalendar:

Load

TempDate AS OrderDate,

week(TempDate) As Week,

Year(TempDate) As Year,

Month(TempDate) As Month,

Day(TempDate) As Day,

YeartoDate(TempDate)*-1 as CurYTDFlag,

YeartoDate(TempDate,-1)*-1 as LastYTDFlag,

inyear(TempDate, Monthstart($(varMaxDate)),-1) as RC12,

date(monthstart(TempDate), 'MMM-YYYY') as MonthYear,

ApplyMap('QuartersMap', month(TempDate), Null()) as Quarter,

Week(weekstart(TempDate)) & '-' & WeekYear(TempDate) as WeekYear,

WeekDay(TempDate) as WeekDay

Resident TempCalendar

Order By TempDate ASC;

Drop Table TempCalendar;
