how to write an expression for date range using variable

[sakshikaul]

Hi,

I want to write an expression using variables start_date and end_date as shown in image

I want to show sales between the start_date and end_date. Both start_date and end_date are variables and these are text boxes

Now want to call both the variables in chart by writing expression using set analysis, Please help me in writing the same.

Hi Sakshi, it can be something like:

Sum({<Start_Date={">=$(vLastYearDate)<=$(vCurrentYearDate)"}>} MetricField)

{<...>} -> Define set analysis

Start_Date= -> Field to filter

{"..."} -> Conditions to filter

$() -> Gets the variable value

Hi

This expression is working but in my report I have following requirement

I have an internal table maintained in the qlikview

InlinetableLastYear:

LOAD

Date(Date#(InlineDate, 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'D/MM/YYYY') as lastDate,

event

INLINE [

InlineDate,event

10/10/2018,Diwali


];

Now as shown in an image below , when the user will select comparison no. of days as 5

the date will be selected for which the user Is willing to see the sales

last_date=10 oct 2018 - comparison no of days =5

so final result is 5/10/2018

so here 5/10/2018 will become as start_date taken in variable in text box and end_date will be 10/10/2018

so when I am changing the value of no of comparison days from 5 to 3 the date is changing in text box as seen in image but the result in chart is not being reflected so what changes are required in expression to achieve the same ?

please help as soon as possible

Following last example vCurrentYearDate can be "=lastDate"

And vLastYearDate can be "=Date('$(vCurrentYearDate)'-$(vComparisonDays)"

Sum({<Start_Date={">=$(vLastYearDate)<=$(vCurrentYearDate)"}>} MetricField)

[sakshikaul]

so you want me to do changes here ?

=Sum({<Sold_Date={">=$("=Date('$(vCurrentYearDate)'-$(vComparisonDays)")<=$("=lastDate)"}>} [inv_value])

so you want me to do the changes here?

please check the variable declaration list here

can you upload a sample copy of the document?

In file -> Reduce data you can make a smaller document.

In Document properties -> Cipher you can scramble field values
