Hi Steve,

Great article on a common problem.

Due to a recurring need for solving this using just one dimension (MonthName) and two measures (one for each period delimited by setexpressions on date) – I found a fairly straight forward solution is to do like this:

Using sort by expression ascending and an expression like this:

=If(OrderMonth>Month(Max(Total OrderDate)),OrderMonth-12,OrderMonth)

All the best,

Hi Johan. You just beat me to hitting the Publish button. I spotted the issue last night but wanted to check a few things before pushing a post out. It’s the only change I have spotted, and the UserID still exists in the Users endpoint, it just doesn’t map to the Licences endpoint now. What is interesting about the Subject is that it is common for a user across tenants – so hopefully this is a precursor for a licence type that a user can carry between tenants. Or perhaps that is wishful thinking…

funny, i saw the askQV tweet about 10 min after i found and corrected the api call towards licenses/assignment on an Usage overview app im working on.
Im starting to think if this is a switch from userId to subject to other api responses as well.

Thanks Jacques, there were two instances of less than / greater than, which was being mistaken for HTML tags. It’s due to a slight flaw in the plugin I am using for showing code that this doesn’t work. I have added a space between the two characters, which then means that they show – but the space needs to be removed to make the code work. Downloading the completed app and using that gets away from that issue.

Thank you for the great work. It looks like the scripts are missing some ‘=’ operators:
// Reset last run rate if we are in a new month
if Month(alt(vLastRun, 0)) month(today()) then
let vLastRunRate = 0;
end if

Hi Cotsio.

Indeed, functions like the one Rob created make it very easy to have consistent calendars available across different apps. The technique above can be added into your sub and used there. The Months Ago field alone then makes it easy to do whatever you require.

I often have a variable with a parameter to create all of the date parts in my scripts, the above wouldn’t work with that due to the preceding loads, but it could be fixed by having repeated code in the variable rather than preceding loads.

Pretty nice, Steve!
We are using most of the time our own timeline/master calendar SUB, created as a mixed approach of QVC from Rob Wunderlich and some suggestions Barry Hamsen had in some training on Set Analysis some long time ago (Qlikview times) . On top of that, we extended the concepts with a set of formulas that allows us to use an interface controlled calendar variable to define the actual reference date dynamically. This allows us to give to our users not only YTD/MTD/etc. rolling period against today, but also to do this against any other rollbacked date the users decide in the interface.

Your approach has some advantages, though, so we will consider how to integrate also your ideas, also together with the autocalendar declaritive way Qlik Sense allows handling date.

Sadly I am not aware of this being an option. Suggest raising it as an idea through the Qlik Ideation section of Community. https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/idb-p/qlik-ideas
