Issue with ApplyMap and one Date

[#1]

Hi all,

An example which is giving me a hard time:

1. Periods are set as: (FYI: 01.01.1900 denotes a opening balance in an ERP):

     Comp, Date, FPeriod

     01, 01.01.1900, 00-2011

     01, 01.01.2011, 01-2011

     ...

2. When I applymap as follows: applymap('FiscalCalendar', '$(vComp)-'&date(DateFromSQL)) as FPeriod, I don't get correct value for 01.01.1900 as 00-2011 but:

I don't see a difference between the two as data are there.

Thanks in advance for answers/suggestions/comments

Hi,

Can't see the image you've pasted ... but there's a chance that the below might work.  I'm not sure it would be happy with the hyphen next to the variable in your original  '$(vComp)-'&date.

applymap('FiscalCalendar', '$(vComp)'&'-'&date(DateFromSQL)) as FPeriod

Might not work, but worth a try unless you already have 🙂

Cheers,

Emma

Thanks Emma,

It is the same

The screen shots shows this:

01.01.1900  01-01.01.1900      -> not expected

01.01.2011  01-2011               -> expected

It looks like there is an issue with interpreting dates between Excel and QV. For example when I create a table I see

31.12.1899 in QV for 01.01.1900 in Excel.

Then I got an idea to change 01.01.2900 to 02.01.1900 and now it works fine

Thx
