Custom datepicker by month and year.

Hey! I have a question regarding making a date filter - right now I have a date variable only containing the last the day in each month. Thus I have created the following 3 variables in the script:

(There is further information from July 2015 - July 2021).

Now I want a filter, sort of like the datepicker:

However, instead choosing dates, I just want the filter to being able to pick dates, I want to be able to pick say (Jul.2016 - Aug 2016 - However, same kind of display.


Is there anyway to do this?

Hi, I don't think you can use a date picker like date, it expects to select dates, maybe you can try to add dtes for the first day of each month, but it would be unstable and confusing for users.

Maybe you can try with an extension to show horizontal selector to show the values directly as months, outside a calendar.

Just search for 'horizontal' here: https://developer.qlik.com/garden

Note hat extensions are not maintained by Qlik so test them first to confirm they work as you want.
