Set analysis compare dates

Hello

I need to count the days selected until today.

I want to do something like this:

COUNT(DISTINCT {$<Fecha={<today()}>} Fecha)

But it goes wrong.

"Fecha" is a field in data format. If I show this field for today i see 42110,

Could someone tells me how must i do?

Thanks,

Fernando

Hi, Fernando.

Try  this

create two variables

MinDate= min(Fecha)

MaxDate= Today()

Your  Expression:

=count({$<Fecha={"<=$(MaxDate)>=$(MinDate)"}>} DISTINCT Fecha)

Try a Dollar sign Expansion and search in your set modifier:

COUNT(DISTINCT {$<Fecha={"<$(=num(today()))"}>} Fecha)

Hi Jannet;

I have to learn more about the use of $(...).

The solution you gave me is just what I needed.


Before I wrote here I tried to do this:

COUNT(DISTINCT {$<Fecha={<today()}>} Fecha

The correct expression is:

count({$<Fecha={"<$(=Today())"}>} DISTINCT Fecha)


I know is better to use variables but I wanted understand why didn't goes well the expression


Thanks a lot

Fernando
