Store value in list & use them in Chart

[bharat19s]

Hi

I want to store some value like Apr-16, May-16...........Aug-17  in array/list & use this values in chart as dimension.

I tried this but not successed.

FOR t = YearStart(Today(),-1,4) to Today()

k = Date(MOnthStart(t),'MMM-YY')

t= AddMonths(t,1)

NEXT t;

Why you need only Apr-16 ... Aug-17 ?? Is there any logic?

May be this in script and use it dimension as this?

If(Match(FieldName, 'Apr-16', 'May-16', ......, 'Aug-17'), FieldName) as FieldName_Copy

Dear Bharat,

can you elaborate little bit more what you are trying to achieve?

if you are trying to store Month-Year in a field you can use master calendar and set the Minimum date and maximum dates in variables.

below is the code:

SET varMinDate=Date(YearStart(Today(),-1,4),'DD/MM/YYYY');
SET varMaxDate=Date(Today(),'DD/MM/YYYY');

TempCalendar: 
LOAD 
               $(varMinDate) + Iterno()-1 As Num, 
               Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1) as TempDate 
               AutoGenerate 1 While $(varMinDate) + IterNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate); 
MasterCalendar: 
Load 
               TempDate AS OrderDate, 
               week(TempDate) As Week, 
               Year(TempDate) As Year, 
               Month(TempDate) As Month, 
               Day(TempDate) As Day,  
               date(monthstart(TempDate), 'MMM-YY') as MonthYear
Resident TempCalendar 
Order By TempDate ASC; 
Drop Table TempCalendar; 

Thanks,

Mukram.

I have two dates Active customer date & Deactivate customer date, for the date range Apr-16 to Aug-17.

I have to show the count for both. But in Chart i can only take 1 date in dimension & Expression count of the respective conditions.

So I was thinking to generate a list of Dates (Apr-16 to Aug-17) as X- axis and 2 Y-axis showing count of each state by 2 different dates.
