Create variables through script

[Anonymous]

Hi guys, I have a problem with variables.

I'm trying to create a master calendar, this is the code:

1. Temp: 
2. Load 
3.                min(OrderDate) as minDate, 
4.                max(OrderDate) as maxDate 
5. Resident Orders; 
7. Let varMinDate = Num(Peek('minDate', 0, 'Temp')); 
8. Let varMaxDate = Num(Peek('maxDate', 0, 'Temp')); 
9. DROP Table Temp; 
11. TempCalendar: 
12. LOAD 
13.                $(varMinDate) + Iterno()-1 As Num, 
14.                Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1) as TempDate 
15.                AutoGenerate 1 While $(varMinDate) + IterNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate); 
17. MasterCalendar: 
18. Load 
19.                TempDate AS OrderDate, 
20.                week(TempDate) As Week, 
21.                Year(TempDate) As Year, 
22.                Month(TempDate) As Month, 
23.                Day(TempDate) As Day, 
24.                YeartoDate(TempDate)*-1 as CurYTDFlag, 
25.                YeartoDate(TempDate,-1)*-1 as LastYTDFlag, 
26.                inyear(TempDate, Monthstart($(varMaxDate)),-1) as RC12, 
27.                date(monthstart(TempDate), 'MMM-YYYY') as MonthYear, 
28.                ApplyMap('QuartersMap', month(TempDate), Null()) as Quarter, 
29.                Week(weekstart(TempDate)) & '-' & WeekYear(TempDate) as WeekYear, 
30.                WeekDay(TempDate) as WeekDay 
31. Resident TempCalendar 
32. Order By TempDate ASC; 
33. Drop Table TempCalendar;

The problem is at row 13th, because when I create a variables at rows 7th and 8th, these are <NULL>.

So I tested the code at rows 3th and 4th, and the code doesn't work.

Why I can not extract min and max values from the table?

Let me give you an example.

Thanks for the help

Just change the variable as below in main tab

SET DateFormat='DD/MM/YY';

or use as below...

Temp:

    Load

     Min(Date(Date#(OrderDate,'DD/MM/YY'))) as minDate,

     Max(Date(Date#(OrderDate,'DD/MM/YY'))) as maxDate

Resident Orders;

Maybe the OrderDate not being read as a date so use the date and date# functions on your Orders table that loads prior to the code above.

Date(Date#(OrderDate,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD/MM/YYYY') as OrderDate
