Hi,

In QlikView, many times we need to create a calendar reference object, which can be linked to any data set present in QlikView's memory. For example, you have a table that captures the sales amount and sales date but does not store the weekday or quarter, which corresponds to that date. In such a scenario, we create a Master Calendar which will supply the additional date fields like Quarter, Day etc. as required by any data set.

Hope it helps!!

In any Dashboard,Time is an important factor. Users will always be interested in viewing the data by time period and also will be interested in performing comparitive analysis between 2 time periods.
