Creating A Date Field

Hello Guys,

I want to create a field in my calendar that will hold the following:

For example

29/11/2017

29/11/2016

30/11/2017

30/11/2016

01/12/2017

01/12/2016

02/12/2017

02/12/2016

03/12/2017

03/12/2016

N.B. this field should be dynamic means getting today's date and back to 2 days and forward to 2 days

Regards,

Kevork

Try

Let varMinDate = Num(today()-2); 

Let varMaxDate = Num(today()-2); 

 

TempCalendar: 

LOAD 

               $(varMinDate) + Iterno()-1 As Num, 

               Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1) as TempDate 

               AutoGenerate 1 While $(varMinDate) + IterNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate); 

 

MasterCalendar: 

Load 

               TempDate AS OrderDate, 

               week(TempDate) As Week, 

               Year(TempDate) As Year, 

               Month(TempDate) As Month, 

               Day(TempDate) As Day, 

               YeartoDate(TempDate)*-1 as CurYTDFlag, 

               YeartoDate(TempDate,-1)*-1 as LastYTDFlag, 

               inyear(TempDate, Monthstart($(varMaxDate)),-1) as RC12, 

               date(monthstart(TempDate), 'MMM-YYYY') as MonthYear, 

               ApplyMap('QuartersMap', month(TempDate), Null()) as Quarter, 

               Week(weekstart(TempDate)) & '-' & WeekYear(TempDate) as WeekYear, 

               WeekDay(TempDate) as WeekDay 

Resident TempCalendar 

Order By TempDate ASC; 

Drop Table TempCalendar;

This will deserve it?

LOAD Date((DateField - 2) + IterNo() -1) as Date

While Date((DateField - 2) + IterNo() -1) <= Date(Today()+2);

LOAD Today() as DateField

AutoGenerate 1;

Guys I already have a master calendar( but I just want to add a field holding just 5 dynamic days data embedded to the same master calendar.

sunny_talwar

May be create a flag within your master calendar for these dates

MasterCalendar:

LOAD ...,

     If(TempDate >= Today() - 2 and TempDate <= Today() + 2, 1, 0) as [PlusMinus2DaysFlag]

Resident ....;

‌guys sorry but i wasn’t clear with my issue. The problem is that i want to use the field as a dimension later in a bar chart where i want to show the result as -2 days 01/12/2017-01/12/2016 + 2 days in the same sequence. The idea is to forecast the upcoming 2 days sales compared to previous year’s same dates. So, the field must contain dynamic 10 rows 5 for the current date and 5 same dates of previous year.
