hi all,

i need your help.i m trying to creat a custom list box or smth like that.

it has to contains these:

my list box

last week

last 2 weeks

last month

when i click 1st row, my report must change and show only values of last 3 days etc.

ex:

i can do custom list box.it s an example from online sales.when u write below text to expression in the list box fields:

=if(right(date(OrderDate,'DD.MM.YYYY'),4)='2006','2006')&

if(right(date(OrderDate,'DD.MM.YYYY'),4)='2007','2007')&

if(right(date(OrderDate,'DD.MM.YYYY'),4)='2008','2008')

RETURNS:

-

2006

2007

2008

but when it is needed to use functions like max min etc,it doesnt work.

how can i do tihs?

thanks in advance,

Create an inline table with the values you want in the list box. The table should have no relation with any other table in the data model. Think you can either create an expression with an if. For example, if(Column='last 3 days', sum(if(date<today() and date > today()-3 value)),...). The if for the date can also be set analysis. Or if you have loads of expression, you can create an action that makes a selection of the last 3 days, last week, etc. and that action is triggered when you select the column.

Actually, I'd create the values for the list box in an inline load, but then explicitly connect those values to the correct dates. It should then behave properly with no special chart coding. Rob Wunderlich has an example of this in his cookbook:
