I am unable to select a date range when using my date picker on Quicksight. Ideally I will be able to select a range of dates on my date picker which will be reflected on my visuals. As of now, I can only select one date. Please provide a step to step guide if possible
As it is today, the date picker does not support choosing range. To get your desired result you would need to use two date picker controls with one set as a start date parameter and one set as an end date parameter.
You can read more about setting up parameters in the Amazon User Guide Here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-in-quicksight.html
Since October 5, 2020, you can create a range filter and then add it to your sheet, as per the visual below.
If you want to have the range filter in your control bar, you can add it to the control bar from the sheet by clicking on "Pin to top".

I have an information link that I want to restrict in spotfire when I add it as a data table so that certain data is excluded. I want to restrict column 'DAY' to the past 91 days.
These are the steps I have tried that haven't worked:
Added data table and clicked 'load on demand' (in the 'Add Data Tables' window) and then 'settings'
On the 'DAY' column, clicked 'Define Input'
Chose 'Range(fixed/properties/expression)' as the 'Input' for the selected parameter
Then as the 'expression' for the 'Min', used: DateAdd('dd',-91,DateTimeNow())
It returns an error when I try to add a transformation to the data or just returns no data when I add the data table. If I just restrict the data with a fixed value it works as expected but clearly this would mean that I would need to change the restriction everyday. I have also been able to restrict the data to a static date directly on the information link under the 'Filters' heading. What I really need is a dynamic restriction that is placed on in some way, in Spotfire, rather than directly on the data source (Oracle).
Would be grateful for any help! Thanks!
It couldn't recognize DateTimeNow(), which is a DateTime as a Date. Spotfire gets kind of picky about that sort of thing.
Replace the Expression used for Min with
DateAdd("dd",-91,Date(DateTimeNow()))
and it should work.
I'm trying to generate a List Price Sheet report using the Dynamic NAV gui, which is located under Departments > Sales & Marketing > Inventory & Pricing.
Under the Reports and Analysis there is an option called List Price Sheet, which we use to create the price lists as Excel Files.
What I would like to do is to return only items that has been created or modified during an specific year, instead of having a list of all Items in the ItemCard.
When I add the Last Date Modified as a filter, it does not matter what value I enter, it keeps giving me a warning saying...
One or more filters are not valid and will be ignored. Do you want to continue?
Is there's a way I can accomplish that using the GUI or this is something that needs to be done with a custom function?
this "List Price Sheet" is not a standard report (NAV has a standard set of reports for every modules) therefore we can't help. You should contact your (=your company's) NAV partner for help.
Maybe if you can share the warning/error what you getting when entering the date I can help. Here is a link which maybe helps : Entering Dates and Times in Dynamics NAV
Cheers!
Sorry I did not provided more depth information, the problem was, that I was trying to search as string the value "2015", which is not a valid parameter to pass when searching a DateTime column. I have to search using a Date range, cause I wanted to get the result for the specific year 2015, in my case, the value I should've pass was:
01/01/2015..12/31/2015
Which return all items that has been modified during this specific year. After doing that I found out that every time NAV developers updated the production site with the test site, all items were marked as modified the date the update occurred. So was not of use for me any way.
In my list i have created calculated field to get the difference between the last modified date and today's date.
I use the formula
=datedif([modified],[today],"d")
It is throwing an error : The formula contains reference(s) to field(s).
Please advise.
I do not have a separate column to hold today's date.
Regretfully, you cannot use [Today] for calculated fields. Calculated fields only update when an item is modified, so the Today Trick of creating a column named Today, setting your calculated field, then deleting that column, is a bad move.
You have a couple options, the best of which is probably to use JavaScript within a Content Editor Web Part on the page to do the calculation for you. You could also try using SharePoint designer and custom XPath and xslt to get "days since modified" to appear on your page.
Generally, if you want something to identify items that haven't been modified in a while, it should be done with filter library views: they can use [Today], and they don't require tricks or workarounds.
I have created a date time field I made today's date as the default value, Then I added it to a page layout and created a page, But the current Date Time is not picking up from the system.
I dont want to give the user to select a Date Time instead it should populated automatically
Is there anyway to achieve this without writing code in code behind files?
This is very similar to this question I think
SO - How to get Date and current time from the Date/Time column in SharePoint Custom list
My answer there gives a few options such as using the built in Created field, using a calendar template, a JavaScript hack and a custom field type.
Guys, fake [Today] trick worked for us - but prob is we only got the date value not datetime.
Janis, is it possible to get date and time both from the fake [today] column trick? pls refer few articles on the same
Does [Today] work?
If you have language pack applied to SharePoint, then you must use localized "Today" string.

I have a List that contains a text field, a check-box, and a Date field. When the check-box is ticked I want to set the date field to the current date, and when a check-box is un-ticked I want to set the Date field to blank (or null, I don't care which just as long as it appears blank).
I have created a Custom Workflow using Sharepoint Designer which correctly handles the first situation - and inserts the current date as required. But I am unable to create a Workflow action that will set a Date field to null or blank. By default the Date field is not displaying a value (which is what I want) so I know it must be possible to reset it to be the same.
Anyone have any ideas?
So, this definitely falls in the "Workaround" or "Last Resort" category but it works.
Create a new Date column in your list called EmptyDate (Default Value must be None)
Use the Set Field in Current Item activity to set your Date field to be EmptyDate.
This may work if you use content types and can hide the EmptyDate column so that it can't be filled in.
