Inline Load with IF function?

Hi,

is it possible to integrate an IF function into an Inline Load?

Following scenario:

I have different kind of dates, i.e. created, modified, start, end etc.

I want to concatenate all these into one "calendar" (see below)

Month(Date(Date#(ows_Modified,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'),'MM/YYYY')) as DateMonth,

Month(Date(Date#(ows_Created,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'),'MM/YYYY')) as DateMonth

...

Problem: If I select "May" I see the right reportname, but I don't know if it is the modified or created date.

So I thought of creating an inline table like this below (pseudocode):

INPUT:

LOAD * Inline [

heading

IF(StartDate<>0,start,"")

IF(CreateDate<>0,created,"")

IF(ModifiedDate<>0,modified,"")

IF(EndDate<>0,end,"")

IF(CompleteDate<>0,completed,"") 

];

Perhaps my thoughts are too complicated and there is an easier solution?!

Thankful for any help,

Dave

Hi,

     I dont know with what way you are concatenating the master calanders. But you can try something shown below.

     All you have to do is create a flag, which says from where the respective data has came.

     For example.

     MasterCal:

     Load StartDate as Date,

              'Start Date' as Flag

     Resident ABC;

     Concatenate

    

     Load EndDate as Date,

              'End Date' as Flag

     Resident PQR;

      Concatenate

    

     Load Create_Date as Date,

              'Create Date' as Flag

     Resident XYZ;

     And so on.

     Hope this is clear to you.
