Hi,

USe below script

Let vMinDate = num(MakeDate(2013,01,01));

Let vMaxDate = num(MakeDate(2015,12,31));

Temp_Cal:

Load Date($(vMinDate)) + RowNo() -1 as Temp_Date

AutoGenerate 1

While Date($(vMinDate)) + RowNo() -1 < Date($(vMaxDate));

Master_Cal:

Load Temp_Date ,

date(Temp_Date)as TestDate,

  Day(Temp_Date) as TestDay,

  Month(Temp_Date) as TestMonth,

  Year(Temp_Date) as TestYear,

  Monthname(Temp_Date) as TestMonthYear,

  Week(Temp_Date) as TestWeek,

  Month(Temp_Date) &'-'& Year(Temp_Date) as TestYearMonth

Resident Temp_Cal;

Drop table Temp_Cal;

Hmm, how would you know which month to use if you have only a year field?

If there is only a year field in the qvd, how will you load only some months within this year?

Can you provide some example data to clarify?

thanks

regards

Marco

If this is the requirement - you don't need QVD with years.  Just create a calendar which starts at the beginning of the month 12 months back (it is your min date), and ends at the end of the current month (it is your max date).
