sum of Date Range

[kunkumnaveen]

Hello All,

i am bit confuse and surprise that if i am able to get two diff value (min and max) separately ,y not i am getting them when i merge them ...

what i mean is

Varibles:

vMindate= 3 sep

vMaxdate=  =Date(Max({Group2}Date),'DD MMM')

i am getting value for the below two expression:

1)textbox=

=Num(sum({<Date={"$(vMindate)"},diss={10}, work={0}>} value)/

sum({<Date={"$(vMindate)"},diss={10}>} value),'##0%')

2)textbox=

=Num(sum({<Date={"$(vMaxdate)"},diss={10}, work={0}>} value)/

sum({<Date={"$(vMaxdate)"},diss={10}>} value),'##0%')

but when i tried to merge them like below exp

3)textbox=

=Num(sum({<Date={">=$(vMindate)<=$(vMaxdate)"},diss={10}, work={0}>} value)/

sum({<Date={">=$(vMindate)<=$(vMaxdate)"},diss={10}>} value),'##0%')

i am getting   -    as o/p

my date format is like this : 

date

3 jan

4 jan

.

.

.

10 jan

11 jan

.

.

some one earlier said that by date is in text format,is that the issues,if so can anyone help me how to resolve this plz

>>sum({<Date={"$(vMaxdate)"},....

This expression will expect Date to also have the format 'DD MMM', and both [Date] and the variables must be numerical date values, not text, for the range comparison to work correctly. I assume that DD MMM is not the default date format for you system.

vMaxDate should be a date value, but vMinDate will be a text value. Rather define it like this:

Let vMindate = Date(Date#('3 sep' & Year(Today()), 'DD MMMyyyy'), 'DD MMM');

and make sure that Date is a numeric date value.

can i use this for

vMindate =Date(Min({Group2}Date),'D MMM') (probelm with this exp is,suppose  if i select 16 sep then it is showing 16 sep as min value which is suppose to be 3 jan)

i am getting Null as o/p when i use ur exp in textbox

Date(Date#('3 sep' & Year(Today()), 'DD MMMyyyy'), 'DD MMM');
