Future date(s) and variables

[#1]

Hello all,

Hopefully someone can help me with my problem. I want to make a forcast of some data.

I have: DayNumbers, WeekNumbers, MonthNumbers and YearNumbers in my qvw.

I want to create a forcast for one week ahead (now week 34 so want to see week 35). This works for now, but how do I create this if week 52 OR 53 goes to week 1. How do I set the year number +1 ?

What I did:

Variable: vNextWeek / =Week(Today())+1

Set analysis: sum({$<Categories={'SLA'}, WeekNumber={$(=vNextWeek)}, Afdeling={'Infrastructure System'}, YearNumber={'2015'}>}Gewerkte_Uren)

Thanks for thinking with me.

Hello.

Why don't you try to do something like:

if( week(today())<53, your set analysis, sum({$<Categories={'SLA'}, WeekNumber={1}, Afdeling={'Infrastructure System'}, YearNumber={'2016'}>}Gewerkte_Uren))

You could use your solution for the most part of the year and, in the last week, you would get the forecast for the first week of the following year.

Best regards,

João Duarte

Thanks for your answer, this is something to consider, but then I need to update the qvw every year. My feeling says there must be a way to configure this and never look at it again.

Hi

Why don't you try master calendar

[jduarte12]

Yes, for sure.

One I idea would be to make a similar step in the year part of the set analysis:

if( week(today())<53, your set analysis, sum({$<Categories={'SLA'}, WeekNumber={1}, Afdeling={'Infrastructure System'}, YearNumber={$('=year(today())+1'}>}Gewerkte_Uren))

Please check my set analysis for the year part, as I may have typed it wrongly.

When I follow this guide: Creating A Master Calendarand use the right DateFields from my QVW am I at the right track?

[sasiparupudi1]

you could use YearNumber={$(=year(today()))}

or put year(today()) this into a variable

This won't work when I run qlikview @ last week of December and then Week + 1 Then it wil do Week 1 of 2015, and I need week 1 of 2016

I see where your going, but the answer of the if statement is always true, because the weeknumbers are always below 53. So it never gets to the last part of the statement, right?

[jduarte12]

Sorry.

I was meaning week 52; that should be the value on the set analysis I posted. If you run that set analysis on week 52 (the last week of a year), I think it should work.
