Display actual date selection in 'Current Selections'

[#1]

Hello,

I have calendar object which allows the user to select a date range. The expressions for 'From' and 'To' are as follows.....

From

=min({1}Date)

To

=yearend(date(today()))

The problem I having is that when the user selects a date range the display in the 'Current Selections' are shown as numbers. This is a common feature in excel but I can't seem to correct this. See attached for some screen shots.

Any ideas please?

Hi Avinash,

Yes, that's right.

[avinashelite]

can you share the app ? it will help us to debug the same

What happens if you use date() with variable sin trigger ->action like:

>=Date($(vMinDate))<=Date($(vMaxDate))   ?

If this doesn't work, try to share a sample qvw.

The information is already visible with the listboxes, so why keeping the data in the current selection box?

Rename your field Date by something like %Date and in the script use:

SET HidePrefix='%' ;

So, this field will disapear of the current selection box.

Ok, it's more a workaround than a real solution.

I agree, but the business would like to be able to see in the current selection what they have selected.

I can see their point as it is more visually appealing to still see the date range when the calendar box is hidden.

Where should this renaming occur? It is the display in the current selections that I want the dates to show up. In the attached, there appears to be no options to make changes to number format or apply a dimension.

Hi Mark,

You have tried to change in the Script the variable DATA in  SET DateFormat='DD.MM.YYYY' (from DD/MM/YYYY)  ?

I had the same problem but now i have in the Current Selection Dates and Numbers.

But it must convert min and max of variable input (in Date).
