How to show data starts on?

[qlikviewforum]

I am using the below expression to show the starting date of the data if the period goes back before the period starts. So the below expression worked perfectly.

If the data exists for the selected date then as per the selected date, date should be visible. What changes is required to achieve the 2nd requirement. Please help!

date(Min({<Period=>}Period), 'MM/DD/YYYY')

Sorry to say, but clear explanation will help us to flash inputs. Would be happy to have an example also.

So the Minimum date should only be visible if you have data available for a selected date? Is that your requirement?

May be this:

If(Sum(FieldName) > 0, Date(Min({<Period>}Period), 'MM/DD/YYYY'))

If the user selects 07/01/2013 in the Calendar and data exists only from 07/01/2014, it should show 07/01/2014 since the data only exists from 07/01/2014. So the above expression worked as per this.

Now if the user selects 08/01/2014 in the Calendar it should show 08/01/2014 since the data exists for the selected date.

Hope the requirement is clear now.

What is "FieldName" here?

Sorry if I have not explained the requirement clearly. I have explained it again. Please check and let me know.

Any update from anyone on this?

[brijesh1991]

Sum({$<Period={'$(=Min(Period))'}>}Field) //Where your period is in num format; convert it to date if require.

Thanks for your response.

I think requirement is still not clear. I need to show the starting date of the data against each row in a straight table. What you have suggested will do sum(Field) for the Min(Period).

date(Min({<Period=>}Period), 'MM/DD/YYYY')

If the user selects 07/01/2013 in the Calendar and data exists only from 07/01/2014, it should show 07/01/2014 since the data only exists from 07/01/2014. So the above expression worked as per this.

Now if the user selects 08/01/2014 in the Calendar it should show 08/01/2014 since the data exists for the selected date.

If the requirement is still not clear please let me know.

some thing like this

if(getfieldselection(Period)<date(Min({<Period=>}Period), 'MM/DD/YYYY'),date(Min({<Period=>}Period), 'MM/DD/YYYY'),Period)

Perhaps:

=Date(RangeMax(Min({<Period=>} Period), Period), MM/DD/YYYY')
