Promotional Periods on a click

Hi there,

I have a table with promotional period details as below.

Promotion               Date From          Date To

August                   01/08/2015         31/08/2015

Wkend Madness     01/10/2015         3/10/2015

I want to effectively set variables for the date from and date to fields so that when a user clicks on 'Wkend Madness' in a listbox, the variables are populated with the matching columns so that at a click of a button they can look at data relating to those promotional periods.

Any advice?

Dave.

I would try in a different way, so you can click on Promotion and filter the date without variables and button click

Promo:

load * inline [

Promotion       ,    FromDate      ,    ToDate

August          ,    01/08/2015       ,  31/08/2015

Wkend Madness   ,  01/10/2015  ,       3/10/2015

];

Promo_x_Dates:

Load

Promotion,

Date( FromDate + IterNo() -1) as ReferenceDate

Resident Promo

While IterNo() <= ToDate - FromDate + 1 ;

Fact:

load

  date(makedate(2015) + floor(rand()*365)) as ReferenceDate,

  rand()*100 as Sales

AutoGenerate 1000;
