Compare selected date range in date picker with previous dates

[magellan]

Hello,

we'd like to compare dates we select in a date picker with the previous dates of this exact selected amount of days.

So if we select an interval of 3 days to compare, we would like to compare these to the 3 days prior to these.

e.g.

We select the following dates:

12/02/2024
13/02/2024
14/02/2024

and want to compare these data to:

11/02/2024
10/02/2024
09/02/2024

Another example:

20/03/2024
21/03/2024
22/03/2024
23/03/2024

compare to:

19/02/2024
18/02/2024
17/02/2024
16/02/2024

Is this possible?

Try These Expression to compare :-  
Base Data for selected Data :-  Sum(Data)
Selection Condition Filtering For Selection of other Dates:- 
Sum({<Date={">=$(=Min(Date)-Count(Date))<$(=Min(Date))"}>}Data)
and if date is in particular format then :-
Sum({<Date={">=$(=Date(Min(Date)-Count(Date),'DD/MM/YYYY'))<$(=Date(Min(Date),'DD/MM/YYYY'))"}>}Data)


If this Doesnt Work Try Changing The Dates in Numerical Figure in Script.

Hi @magellan,

You will need variables to capture the selected date range and compute the previous date range.

// Assuming you are working with a field called 'Date'
SET vMaxSelectedDate = Max(Date);
SET vMinSelectedDate = Min(Date);
SET vDaysSelected = $(vMaxSelectedDate) - $(vMinSelectedDate) + 1; // Calculate the number of selected days

// Compute the previous date range
SET vPrevMaxDate = Date(AddMonths($(vMaxSelectedDate), -1)); // Last day of the previous period
SET vPrevMinDate = Date(AddMonths($(vMinSelectedDate), -1)); // First day of the previous period
SET vPrevDates = $(vMaxSelectedDate) - $(vPrevMaxDate); // The length of the previous period
Set Up Visualizations to Compare Date Ranges:



To compare the selected date range with the previous date range:

// Sales in the selected date range
Sum({<Date={">=$(vMinSelectedDate)<=$(vMaxSelectedDate)"}>} Sales)

// Sales in the previous date range
Sum({<Date={">=$(vPrevMinDate)<=$(vPrevMaxDate)"}>} Sales)
