Date Range Selection

Hi

My requirement is I have date column and my user needs wants to select the data by date ranges. Please let me know how can I achieve this. Currently I can only select only single date.

I recommend using a Master Calendar in your script. See 'Dates' tab in the attached example script.

Hi,

You can take this QlikView app as an example using two calendar / slider objects using variables and how to use these variables in the chart expressions.

Hope that helps.

This code (written by Rob Wunderlich) is absolutely invaluable for creating common date ranges. Users love it!  I think a fuller example may be in his QV Cookbook (http://robwunderlich.com/downloads/)

/* This section just creates some test data */

data:

LET vEndDate = num(today(1)); // End at today's date

LET vStartDate = num(addmonths(today(1),-14)) -1; // Start at 14 months earlier than today

TestData:

LOAD date($(vStartDate) + IterNo()) as Date

AUTOGENERATE 1

WHILE $(vStartDate) + IterNo() <= $(vEndDate)

;

/* End of test data */


/* This script demonstrates assigning Dates to named groups, such as "Yesterday" or "Last Week".

Date table was created on the previous tab.

*/


// Assign current date to a variable. Makes INLINE below a little neater and ensures we don't cross midnight boundry.

LET vToday=today(1);


Ranges:

// Use the "evaluate()" function to execute the input function text and convert it to actual date values.

LOAD Range, date(evaluate(RangeStart)) as RangeStart, date(evaluate(RangeEnd)) as RangeEnd

;

/* The INLINE data defines the Range Name, Starting date of the Range, and Ending date of the Range.

The Start/End values are defined using standard QV date functions.

Semicolon is used for a field delimeter because some of the functions contain commas.

*/

LOAD * INLINE [

Range; RangeStart; RangeEnd

Today; vToday; DayEnd(vToday)

Yesterday; vToday-1; DayEnd(vToday-1)

This Week; WeekStart(vToday); WeekEnd(vToday)

Last Week; WeekStart(vToday,-1); WeekEnd(vToday, -1)

Last 2 Weeks; WeekStart(today(1),-1); WeekEnd(today(1))

This Month; MonthStart(vToday); MonthEnd(vToday)

Last Month; MonthStart(vToday,-1); MonthEnd(vToday,-1)

Last Two Months; MonthStart(vToday,-1); MonthEnd(vToday)

This Year; YearStart(vToday); YearEnd(vToday)

Last Year; YearStart(vToday,-1); YearEnd(vToday,-1)

] (delimiter is ';')

;


/*

Use IntervalMatch to link the Date field into multiple Range fields.

Doing a JOIN avoids creating a messy synthetic key.

*/

JOIN (Ranges) IntervalMatch (Date) LOAD RangeStart, RangeEnd RESIDENT Ranges;

// Because we did a JOIN, we may drop the the Start/End fields.

DROP FIELDS RangeStart, RangeEnd;
