Date Trim/Merg

Hello Qlik family,

I am new to this forum and qlikview in general and I have a question I really want to know the answer to.

Am developing an app with date format like the one below in my data,

[Original data]

12/04/2016

01/04/2017

10/04/2018

I have also created a seperate data with date format like

[Created data]

YEAR

2016

2017

2018

MONTH

01

02

03

I really want to know is there a way or possibility to trim the date in my original data to link  it to my created data to do the magic ??

so for email: when I click just [2017] or the month [01] it will give me all the dates relates to my origianl data or it will link both dates together.. ???

Thanks

Maybe try this. Depending on the column you want to join.

Original:

LOAD

          Date,

          Year(Date) as YEAR,

          Month(Date) as Month

From Source;

Also, on the same note you can create dates for the month year combinations in your Created data table like the following

LOAD

          *,

          MakeDate(YEAR, MONTH) as Date

From [Created Data];

and then fill in dates

Fill Dates between dates

Thanks.
