I'm trying to create a custom Current Selections box for a particular set of date fields using a straight table and an expression that uses GetFieldSelections to return the values currently selected for each field.
In my load script I'm creating an inline table of fields that I want to show in this table, i.e.:
DateFilters:
LOAD * INLINE [
DateField, DateDescription
date1, Creation Date
date2, Closed Date
date3, Target Due Date
date4, Last Saved Date
];
So far I've managed to achieve the example straight table shown below using the following:
Dimensions:
DateField (hidden)
Expressions:
Date Field:
=only({1}DateDescription)
Current Filter:
=Replace(Replace(if(only({1}DateField)='date1',GetFieldSelections(date1),
if(only({1}DateField)='date2',GetFieldSelections(date2),
if(only({1}DateField)='date3',GetFieldSelections(date3),
if(only({1}DateField)='date4',GetFieldSelections(date4))))),'>=',''),'<=',' - ')
I want to avoid the nested IFs as I look to expand this elsewhere, and want to use the value in the DateField field inside the GetFieldSelections instead.
I have tried to achieve this using the following formula but get the error "Nested aggregation not allowed":
=GetFieldSelections(only({1}DateField))
Does anyone have any suggestions how I could use the field name stored in DateField inside the GetFieldSelections function?
(note - I'm using the only({1}) function since I want users to be able to click on each of the Date field rows and use this to apply date filters to each - so this ensures that all Date Fields are always shown in the table)
Thanks in advance.
May be try with Pick(Match(...))
Pick(Match(Only({1}DateField), 'date1', 'date2', 'date3', 'date4'), GetFieldSelections(date1), GetFieldSelections(date2), GetFieldSelections(date3), GetFieldSelections(date4))
Thanks Sunny - but I'm hoping to avoid the hardcoding of date1, date2 etc altogether.
Since I have these values in the straight table (in the DateField field), I thought it should be possible to pass this value into the function, so all I need to maintain is my INLINE list of fields and descriptions on the load script - i.e. like =GetFieldSelections(only({1}DateField))
Unfortunately, I don't think this would be possible
