Bookmark based on complex queries

Is it possible to have selection saved in a bookmark that is based on a complex query ?

For instance, I want to select, each day, all sales data for the past 30 days. Is there a way to have a bookmark that will select the data for the last 30 days ?

What alternative solution is there for such a query ?

Best regards

If you use an advanced search in a field instead of selecting just values, a bookmark will save the search and will be as dynamic as your search expression.

I would instead do it using a relative date, created in the script:

     Today() - Date as DaysAgo,

then you can make a selection in this field

And save this in a bookmark. Read more on http://community.qlik.com/blogs/qlikviewdesignblog/2013/06/10/relative-calendar-fields

Agree with Henric. This is a nice solution whenever you can create something like a  relative date in the script.

Sometimes this might not be easy to do, or you  want to create a user bookmark without having the possibility to easily change the script.

Here is an example for a search string that does something similar.

edit: Apply the bookmark from the menu

Thanks. I can open the document and apply the bookmark. However,, how did you create this bookmark ?

In Current Selections you can see the search string:

     =Date > max(total Date)-10

Just type this in the Date field search box, then save selection as a bookmark.
