two date-column into one date column

[beck_bakytbek]

Hi Folks,

i got a question, i have 2 columns;

StartDate,    EndDate

02,02.2015    02.12.2017

03.12.2017    03.03.2018

i want to know, is that possible to combine 2 columns into one, if it is possible, how can i concatenate the combined column with my maser calender?

does anybody have any idea?

Not sure the exact need but you may think of like this:

Temp:

Load StartDate as Date

Resident table1;

Concatenante(Temp)

Load EndDate as Date

Resident table1;

Now you can find Max and Min Date and create master calendar out of your Date column.

Hi Sinh,

thanks a lot for your responce and help,

i have a question, as you see i have two columns and i want to compare two columns, for instance:

if (02.02.2015 < 02.12.2017, 'non active', 'active') as State,

can i create such field: State and later combine two columns into one.

Hello

Extract_Table:

Load StartDate,

EndDate,

Some_Primary_Key

Resident Table1;

Join

Load CalendarDate as Temp_Date

Resident Your_Master_Calendar_Table;

// Single Column to have extract of Start and End Dates

NoConcatenate

Final _Table:

Load Some_primary_Key,

Temp_Date as Single_Date

Resident Extract_Table

where Temp_Date>=StartDate and TempDate<=EndDate;

Now if you need to find the Min Date and Max Date for the Primary Keys. -- . Just use the Min(Single_Date) and Max(Single_Date).

you could also use count(distinct Single_Date) to find the days between.

We have got the same problem and i have did this and got the solution .

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks

Hi Yelisetty,

first of all thanks a lot for your responce and time:

my issue is: 1) i want to create the Field: State, the Idea is: to those columns belong the projects, i want to show, that the project until certain date is active and non active, therefore i want to create the Field: State

2)  then i want to create the Filter: State and can select and show on the time line my active and non active project.

is that clear explained?

Thanks a lot

You can do that, for each record comparison will be made, ensure they are formatted as date.

Do you have an example to this issue?

Looks fine to me just change the dates into field names

if (field1 < field2, 'non active', 'active') as State,

Hi Hashmi,

can you show it on base of above example / issue

[zebhashmi]

to me, if that's what you are looking

QCtemp:

load * inline [

StartDate,    EndDate

02/02/2015,    02/12/2017

03/12/2017,    03/03/2018

];

QC:

load *,

if (StartDate < EndDate, 'non active', 'active') as State

Resident QCtemp;

Drop table QCtemp;
