Project status updates

Hello,

is it possible to let Qlikview check clicking through month and month if a Project is new, opened or was closed in a month?

I have tried with monthyear where startmonth = monthyear, but then it would only show what was started and not what was finished.

If I try to load both Dates as "Startmonth" and "Endmonth" and open ones as in between, it will only return the startmonth...

Is there a trick?

Kind Regards,

Michael

Create a linktable between your calendar table (that contains YearMonth values) and your project definitions table (that contains StartMonth and EndMonth fields).

The linktable should contain three fields:

  • YearMonth to link to your calendar
  • ProjectID to link to your project definitions table
  • CalendarType = three values: 'Started', ''Stopped', 'Started+Stopped'

Starting from your Projects table, you load information in successive steps into this LinkTable:

  • Load Project Start Date in YearMonth format as YearMonth, with ProjectID and a fixed value of 'Started' in CalendarType
  • Add for all Projects that have been terminated a row with Project End Date as YearMonth, with ProjectID and a fixed value of 'Stopped' as CalendarType
  • Concatenate this table onto itself, but now change the CalendarType of all new rows to 'Started+Stopped'

Use this table in your UI objects. Add a listbox with CalendarType and enable 'Always one selected'.

Best,

Peter

Hi Peter,

that was very helpful thank you. Now Qlikview pulls all data correctly, except from the open Projects, which should be "new"-"closed" + previous months...

Regards,

Michael
