Dear All
I have a chart where I want to show the expression only when the record is valid according to a user-selected date. For example, if the user wants to see what the position was up to yesterday, I want the totals shown to be those excluding today. I have several records for each ID and in addition to selecting only those that are valid up to and including the selected date I want to choose the maximum record that meets that criteria. The data comes from a table where status changes and their dates are recorded and I want to be able to recreate the position on a particular date. So if someone has 3 records dated 1/11/14 with status C/, 1/12/14 with status C/F and then 15/8/15 with status U/F I want to be able to access the record with the max date based on the user-selected date. So if the user selected 1/1/15 the record included in the expression calculation would be the one with C/F status. Then if I want to see what the position was for 1/9/15 I would get the record with the U/F status.
Something like: select max date where date <= today (if the user selected today).
I have tried already and can do it for 'today' but the users want to see the position in historic terms as well - for example last week, week before etc.
Here is an example of what I have done so far. I have a master calendar for the user to select from.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Hi,
use attached file.
if you want selection on Select Date then firstly link both table.
right now i prepared in [Date of Status Change].

Hi Vimlesh,
This is really useful thank you. I think it will help me a lot.
I wanted to check though, how do I select the max record when there are two for a particular ID that are within the selected date range?
Thanks
