Slider/Calendar Object min/max value

[#1]

Hello,

I am confronting with a situation regarding a calendar object.

I need to do a sales report about periods of sales , using 2 variables :FromDate and UntilDate, which i created on Settings-Variable Overview-Add. For The calendar objects i didn't set a min value or a max value(this boxes are blank).

In Settings-Document Properties- Variables there is no special settings(is standard).

For 2009 is ok, because when i want to chose year it is a mini menu where i could chose from year 2000 to year 2009(i think there is somewhere a setting to get just an interval of 10 years).

Now we are in 2010, i have sales also in 2010 but i can't use calendar object to see also this period of sales.

Thank you very much in advance.

Please HELP.

Onix.

Hi Onix,

why don't you set the min value of the calendar object to min(YourYearVariable) and the max value to max(YourYearVariable) ?

Hi,

I have scenario like this, there is list of dates from data file. I have to look at minimum Year value and maximum Year value. Lets say there is ten records from data file. the first date falls on 21-03-2002 and the last recored(10th) falls on 31-10-2010. I want the values in the list box is From Mar-2002,Apr-2002,May-2002... to Sep-2010,Oct 2010.

You can do on your script, you can set a variables with min and max....

Something like this

Load min(var_data) as var_min_date from XYZ;

Load max(var_data) as var_max_date from XYZ;

set min_date = MONTHNAME(var_min_date)

set max_date = MONTHNAME(var_max_date)

And set max and min values in your object!!!!

[montubhardwaj]

you can create the variables like this: (in settings-->Variables)

min_date=min(date)

max_date=max(date)

And then you can set in your object something like this:

date(min_date,'MMM-YY')

and date(max_date,'MMM-YY')

Hope it was helpful.

Cheers,
