How to filter by either 1 date field while each record is associated with 2 separate date fields

Hello,

My experience with Qlik is very limited and have this situation that my data source has two Date Fields; ‘policy_eff’ and ‘entry_date’ with every record. A Policy can be sold on one date, however the effective date (policy_eff) can be another, even on a future date. Furthermore, users want to have a radio button option that I’ve found to filter all the visualizations filtered by either Effective date or Entry date. While this radio button will take a field value, I need to create a field to add to the radio button's dimension which will have for example values; Effective date OR Entry date.

policy

policy_type

broker_state

rep

premium

livecount

product

product_name

policy_eff

entry_date

How can I populate Effective date OR Entry date in a field which will take the corresponding date from 'policy_eff’ or ‘entry_date’? How and what can I script in the table to achieve this? 

Your suggestion is highly appreciated.

Thank you very much.
