Compare Date with Variable Date in Set Analysis

Hi

Facing an issue with the below expression, could you help?

[Program Date] = {"<=Date($(vSelectedDate), 'dd/MM/yyyy')"}

Here variable vSelectedDate = 31 Jan 2013

regards,

Bobby

hi,

make sure that the data type and format of [Program Date] and vSelectedDate should be same..

try to see the format using test box : =vSelectedDate..

and then use in setanalysis as

[Program Date] = {"<=$(vSelectedDate)"}

also try this:

[Program Date] = {"<=date#($(vSelectedDate), 'dd/MM/yyyy'))"}

Hi Bobby,

Im assuming that [Program Date] is in the format dd/MM/YYYY?

You will have to convert vSelectedDate to this format using the following formula:

[Program Date] = {"<=Date(date#($(vSelectedDate), 'DD MMM YYYY'), 'dd/MM/yyyy')"}

If you need to interpret / parse your variable, you should use the date#() function and an appropriate format code:

Date#(vSelectedDate, 'DD MMM YYYY')

then maybe you need to use an additional Date() function to format your date according to [Program Date]'s format. Assume [Program Date] is formatted like 'MM/DD/YYYY':

Date(Date#(vSelectedDate, 'DD MMM YYYY'),'MM/DD/YYYY')

to execute an expression like above in a set analysis field modifer, you'll need to use a dollar sign expansion with expression:

[Program Date] = {"<=$(=Date(Date#(vSelectedDate, 'DD MMM YYYY'),'MM/DD/YYYY'))"}

Hi Bobby,

[Program Date]={"<=$(vSelectedDate)"}

vSelectedDate-> format this in a variable

Try this.
