Variable increment every year

[KiruthikaA]

Hi,

I would like to create a variable in the frontend that contains a year that updates every time there is a reload.

The value should iterate from 2000 to the current year

Hi,

Does that mean with 21 reloads it's in the current year and then needs to stop?

Hi Jordy,

Not 21 reloads 

I need a variable  in the front end that contains a year and the value should iterate from 2000 to the current year

Thanks,

Hi Kiruthika,

I think you need to be a bit more specific. The way I see it right now is:

1. Your year is 2000
2. Application reloads
3. Your year is 2001
4. Application reloads
5. Your year is 2002
6. Etc.

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Hi Kiruthika,

This now makes a bit more sense. But I'm still not there.. for what is the variable needed in the front-end?

Does an user need to select this 'year variable' and then get the data from that specific year?

yes

Okay, but you can create a year field based on the date field in your data.

Year( YourDateField) ) as Year

Then add this to the front-end and it's done.

Or you can add it as set analysis in your formulas like:

Sum( {$< Year = {'$(vYear)'}>} YourField )

Where you let vYear be every possibility by the user.
