Hi Paul -

It works for me - see attached apps - App2 - binary loads from App1 - and then uses this code:

Binary 'lib://DataFolder/app1.qvf';


    [autoCalendar]:   
      DECLARE FIELD DEFINITION Tagged ('$date')  
    FIELDS  
      Dual(Year($1), YearStart($1)) AS [Year] Tagged ('$axis', '$year'),  
      Dual('Q'&Num(Ceil(Num(Month($1))/3)),Num(Ceil(NUM(Month($1))/3),00)) AS [Quarter] Tagged ('$quarter', '$cyclic'),  
      Dual(Year($1)&'-Q'&Num(Ceil(Num(Month($1))/3)),QuarterStart($1)) AS [YearQuarter] Tagged ('$yearquarter', '$qualified'),  
      Dual('Q'&Num(Ceil(Num(Month($1))/3)),QuarterStart($1)) AS [_YearQuarter] Tagged ('$yearquarter', '$hidden', '$simplified'),  
      Month($1) AS [Month] Tagged ('$month', '$cyclic'),  
      Dual(Year($1)&'-'&Month($1), monthstart($1)) AS [YearMonth] Tagged ('$axis', '$yearmonth', '$qualified'),  
      Dual(Month($1), monthstart($1)) AS [_YearMonth] Tagged ('$axis', '$yearmonth', '$simplified', '$hidden'),  
      Dual('W'&Num(Week($1),00), Num(Week($1),00)) AS [Week] Tagged ('$weeknumber', '$cyclic'),  
      Date(Floor($1)) AS [Date] Tagged ('$axis', '$date', '$qualified'),  
      Date(Floor($1), 'D') AS [_Date] Tagged ('$axis', '$date', '$hidden', '$simplified'),  
      If (DayNumberOfYear($1) <= DayNumberOfYear(Today()), 1, 0) AS [InYTD] ,  
      Year(Today())-Year($1) AS [YearsAgo] ,  
      If (DayNumberOfQuarter($1) <= DayNumberOfQuarter(Today()),1,0) AS [InQTD] ,  
      4*Year(Today())+Ceil(Month(Today())/3)-4*Year($1)-Ceil(Month($1)/3) AS [QuartersAgo] ,  
      Ceil(Month(Today())/3)-Ceil(Month($1)/3) AS [QuarterRelNo] ,  
      If(Day($1)<=Day(Today()),1,0) AS [InMTD] ,  
      12*Year(Today())+Month(Today())-12*Year($1)-Month($1) AS [MonthsAgo] ,  
      Month(Today())-Month($1) AS [MonthRelNo] ,  
      If(WeekDay($1)<=WeekDay(Today()),1,0) AS [InWTD] ,  
      (WeekStart(Today())-WeekStart($1))/7 AS [WeeksAgo] ,  
      Week(Today())-Week($1) AS [WeekRelNo] ;  

    DERIVE FIELDS FROM FIELDS [OrderDate] USING [autoCalendar] ;  

I think the problem might be with the "date" field  name - date is a keyword, I don't think you should use that name, you might need to change it.

Note my field name grabbing data from app1 is OrderDate

Hi Michael

In my QVW file the master calendar script as below , So i should use TempDate instead of date right ? But i just try it should not work. By the way your app1.QVF , i also cannot find the field name with Calendar 12 icon , But for your app2.qvf i found the OrderDate field , have the Calendar 12 icon.

MasterCalendar:

LOAD TempDate AS date,

  D AS link_Date,

  D AS Date,

  day([TempDate]) as [day],

  day(D) AS Day,

//////////////////////////////////// Week

// Week([TempDate]) as Week,

  week(D) AS Week,

  weekday(D + 2) AS Weekday,

  dual(week([TempDate])&'-'&weekyear([TempDate]),weekstart([TempDate])) as YearWeek,

Hi Michael

Now it work. I need to go to my load script on sales order table add a field name OrderDate. I can not use the master island calendar Date field , it will not work.

Thank you very much for you help.
