Vizlib default date

[stekol61]

Hi!

I use the Vizlib calendar extension in an app.

I want the app when open to present data for the previous 5 days .

I use the "Initial Selection" and can set a "Initial Start Date".

What should the formula be in order to present the previous 5 days?

Hey, I had this same question once and I ended up using the extension below along side the vizlib calendar.  It sets your date field to whatever selection you want. Mine does max date, but you can change it to select multiple.

Right now, they have been working on the default dates of the calendar. Maybe they have recently fixed it, but I don't know. mahlerma‌ Did you guys get that default date setting fixed yet?

Hi!

I tried to use '=(Max([Date], 5))'.

I also tried to use Vizlib Filter using the same expression Doesn't work.

Hi Stefan,

Vizlib is a 3rd party extension library which is *supported*, I'd recommend sending an email to support@vizlib.com with your enquires and someone from the support team will definitively help you out.

Best,

Hi stefan,

Try setting the right format as your Date field format, assuming you date format is DD/MM/YYYY

=date(Max([Date], 5),'DD/MM/YYYY')

Try this,

Datefield=Today()-5

Hi!

i tried this in both Vizlib Calender and Filter but it doesn't work.

If I use '=(Max([Date], 5))' I receives the 5:th day from today but not the range of the previous 5 days

[priyalvp24]

sum({<DateField={"<=$(=max(date(addmonths(DateField, 0))))>=$(=max(date(addmonths(DateField, 0)-5)))"}>} Measure)

Hi Steffen,

Have you tried the ""Add Date Range" option in vizlib calendar ?

You can create a last 5 days selection range.
