QlikView: Selecting date ranges on the calendar picker that do not fall on the available data

[Anonymous]

In my calendar picker, whenever I select date ranges which do not fall on the available data, it will act as if I did not select anything. What I want for this is to just show on my charts that there is no data available or if this is possible without using macros, something will pop up like 'invalid date range'.

For example:

Below screenshot is my available data

But when I select the dates below on my calendar picker, it will act as if nothing is filtered.

How do I display it to indicate that there are no available data?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

May be u can try this

Method 1: u can try add custom message option for the not unsatisfied condition/filter.

Method 2: you can auto set the min and max Date value on your From and To Date Calendar object  (best option for your case)  instead of showing all the Date.

=Date(Min({1} Date))

=Date(Max({1} Date))

chart expression

=Sum({<Date={'>=$(=Date(vMinDate))<=$(=Date(vMaxDate))'}>}Sales)

Hi! Thank you for the quick response.

I noticed that you put an if statement before the Sum({<Date={'>=$(=Date(vMinDate))<=$(=Date(vMaxDate))'}>}Sales) on the calculation condition of the chart. Can you please explain this one? I tried this one but what happens now is that it displays the error message all the time and it's not showing the graph anymore although the selected dates are already valid.
