Max(Jul-Dec 2018 )

Hello,

 

I need to transform a date in this format:

Semester Year for example:  Jan-Jun 2018, Jul-Dec 2018

And to do that in my script I use:

if( match(Num(Month(start_date)),'1','2','3','4','5','6') ,'Jan-Jun','Jul-Dec') &'   '& year(start_date) as Semester,

For example my start_date =2015-05-04

Until now, I have the result that I want,

Now I want to display “Semester” on a filter and only one value can be selected at a time in this drop-down list so to do this I use a Qlik sense extension that called (SimpleFiledSelect), Until now I don’t have a problem but ,I need now to display by default, the last semester available  selected.

In this extension I have this possibility but I need to found how to display Max( Semester) , because in the reality Qlik cannot  display the max of semester because is not a date  …
Someone can help me ?? I need to know how to display the maximum of a value like   Jul-Dec 2018

Hi Mell,

Maybe you can do it differently and use the Qlik Sense Dynamic Default Bookmark Selection On Open: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d85WIgy35Ig
