Hi everyone can one help regarding the data modelling of two different calendars.

hi in my requirement i need to get all date calculations common for two different tables.

one table have 2014,2015,2016 date and second table have 2015,2016 date only, when i do concatenation of two tables it working for reports well but when i click on the salefy it default showing the second table months only not first table months.

please see the data below...

SS_OrdersCalTemp:

Load Min(BILLDATE) as SS_MinOrdDate,

Max(BILLDATE) as SS_MaxOrdDate

Resident CLOSINGSTOCKSUMMARY;

let SS_EndDate=Date(Peek('SS_MaxOrdDate',0,'SS_OrdersCalTemp'),'$(DateFormat)');

let SS_StartDate=Date(Peek('SS_MinOrdDate',0,'SS_OrdersCalTemp'),'$(DateFormat)');

let SS_caldays=(SS_EndDate-SS_StartDate)+1;

let SS_vToday=num(SS_EndDate);

this what i done for common calendar table .

for individual dates no problem, the problem is with when i click on filters like sales financial year it's showing second table dates only not getting the first table dates.

Use a concept called Canonical Calendar to link two calendars together instead of just concatenating them. Look here for help on canonical calendar: Canonical Date

thats fine to create individual calendars for all fact tables, but my requirements is i have two different fact tables but i need to show all two tables information in a single report.while i am concatenating the two calendars as one calendar and one billdate field as single field then it's creating a problem for me while taking date field and selecting particular date.

I am not sure how you structured your data with the Canonical calendar. But I don't think Canonical calendar would ever create issues when selecting date field. In fact it make sure that selections made in one calendar flow through to the other one through there linkage to Canonical calendar. May be spend some more time on your data model.
