Master Calendar date fields not recognized in UI

[ioannagr]

Hello once again,

I really need help with this.

After I created the Master Calendar, in the UI no date fields are recognized as such.

I can't create master calendar measures in the UI or even use the date range picker.

Why is it that? Any clue?

Thanks,

Ioanna

check data model  viewer and select the date field and check the tags in preview.

what are the values there? i am assuming it is not date

share your script to create master calendar too and maybe we can help

You are right, the tags are numeric and integer .

Also my script is the following:

QuartersMap:

MAPPING LOAD

rowno() as Month,

'Q' & Ceil (rowno()/3) as Quarter

AUTOGENERATE (12);

Temp:

Load

min(donationdate) as minDate,

max(donationdate) as maxDate

Resident blooddonor_questionnaire;

Let varMinDate = Num(Peek('minDate', 0, 'Temp'));

Let varMaxDate = Num(Peek('maxDate', 0, 'Temp'));

DROP Table Temp;

TempCalendar:

LOAD

$(varMinDate) + Iterno()-1 As Num,

Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1) as TempDate

AutoGenerate 1 While $(varMinDate) + IterNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate);

MasterCalendar:

Load

TempDate AS donationdate,

week(TempDate) As Week,

Year(TempDate) As Year,

Month(TempDate) As Month,

Day(TempDate) As Day,

YeartoDate(TempDate)*-1 as CurYTDFlag,

YeartoDate(TempDate,-1)*-1 as LastYTDFlag,

inyear(TempDate, Monthstart($(varMaxDate)),-1) as RC12,

date(monthstart(TempDate), 'MMM-YYYY') as MonthYear,

ApplyMap('QuartersMap', month(TempDate), Null()) as Quarter,

Week(weekstart(TempDate)) & '-' & WeekYear(TempDate) as WeekYear,

WeekDay(TempDate) as WeekDay

Resident TempCalendar

Order By TempDate ASC;

Drop Table TempCalendar;

change this
Date(TempDate,'MM-DD-YYYY') AS donationdate, //(or your desired format)

also would recommend checking below link. makes calendar a little faster

Nope, still doesn't get recognized as a date field. What should i do?

Maybe change the format of the date in the Main script in the load editor?

I'm clueless here 😬

also, thanks for the link!

[dplr-rn]

sorry yes. change everywhere with Date() function

[ioannagr]

I'm sorry, I don't get what everywhere means, everywhere I see "TempDate"? 

Also in the linked table? 

Also this one format  in the picture attached for the date and timestamp?

Ah, thanks, hope  I figure this out 🙂

[dplr-rn]

Whereever you have donationdate. that should be converted into date format

[ioannagr]

Nope, still doesn't work. 😞

But thanks for your help. Seriously appreciated.
