Hello Everyone,

Calculation condition in table box or any other chart control will never filter internal data, this calculation condition accept true or false expression and if it true then only show data over table or chart.

To filter internal data of a field make it a dimension and write If expression on top of it, return null in case of false condition and check the "Suppress When Value is Null" check box like I am doing below.

Hi Shakthi,

Can you try following date() or date#()

EmployeeStatusDate >= Date(vStartDate,'MM/DD/YYYY') and EmployeeStatusDate <= Date(vEndDate,'MM/DD/YYYY')

if not working is it possible to upload a sample here?

Rgds,

Tharindu

Looks like a formatting problem.

When working with dates, it makes often sense to restrict the comparisons on the pure numbers, rather than trying to workaround with different format-settings.

AFAIK a Table Box doesn't offer filtering or expression evaluation capabilities. Except for the object itself...

Usually, Table Boxes can be converted into Straight Tables. And those offer all expression and conditional show tools that you want. The speediest solution would be a straight table with an expression that uses Set Analysis to reduce the number of rows shown...
