Hi,

When you put this on the server I would assume that the reload is controlled by the server scheduling, rather than user triggered when they open the document.

Where I worked previously all of these date settings ended up wither being calculated in script (so last month end, last quarter etc.) or set in a database that users had a simple UI to manage values through that the QlikView app could call from (Excel was forbidden), but where then the same for all users.

Depending on what your script does could you not run for all dates & then have the app react to user inputs in each session of use? I think that would be a more normal operating model, but happy to be corrected.

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi @nagarjuna005 

If the user want to see only certain dates based on user input. 

In that case, you can create calendar object for start and end date, and can filter the dates based on the user requirement.
