I have a number field which is the output of a query in the Report Designer and what I would like to do is append "AM - [number+1] AM/PM" to this. For eg. the query outputs 9,10,11,12,13 and so on. But, instead of the number 9 I would like to format the output as 9AM - 10AM, instead of 10, 10AM -11AM,instead of 11, 11AM - 12PM and so on. I have added a formula in the data-format part of the number field with an IF condition to check the value of the number and output it accordingly, but it doesn't work the way I want it to.
Please can someone help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.
You can use the Value Mapper Transform, you would need an entry for each hour. Or you could use a couple of User Defied Java Expression to generate rows with (n)AM/PM and (n+1)AM.PM, and then a Concat Fields step to join them.

My problem statement is described below :
I have a calculated field, say Opportunity. There is pre defined rule from organization, that the target value for current month will be 1/3rd of the value of 2 months back. For example, The target opportunity value for April will be 1/3rd value of February. I need to show the current month's opportunity and the targeted value in the same worksheet. How to achieve this is Tableau?
I am getting the base data from tables in Oracle through a custom sql query, and calculating the opportunity value in Tableau for each row, and then showing the sum for a range of time , say last 6 months.
The best way to do this would be to write the target value in SQL. It'll be easier (no need for data blending / complex calcs) and also more performant as it would be a hardcoded value in your dataset.
I’m relatively new to Qlikview and have a dataset that shows metrics by date.
This data spans two years and the requirement is to have a comparison/variance that is dynamic and can handle the date filters on the report.
For example if the user selects 2018 this field should show the current date compared to the previous year date. Similar for Quarters, months, weeks and weekdays.
Ideally it should always show for the previous period. They’ve had this created in Excel but it can’t handle the amount of records and I suggested QlikView as I had created some other Dashboards in it.
I have tried set analysis though I struggle to see how that would fit into one expression.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
I would say you would need two expressions, one without a set analysis (that would be filtered by your current selection) and one with a set analysis to guarantee that you only get today's value. This would be something like :
Sum($<[Date Field] = {"$(=Date(Today(), 'DD/MM/YYYY'))}>} [Value Field])
Check the date format conversion to see if it matches the date format of your field.
I need a flexible table that displays dates. By flexible, I mean, if I put in June 15, 1976, it displays as such. But if I put 20, Access calculates that 20 in the same field as today's date - 20 years.
I set the formatting of the date/time field in table: tbl_ageLimit to #, so it displays a serial date rather than a user readable date. This table has one field: ageLimit.
I am trying to develop a query to recognize if the date is not relevant in its current state and then convert it to something relevant and put it in another table that will constantly update.
Right now, I'm just trying to get formula to work on recognizing and converting the date. This is the formula that works splendidly in excel, but doesn't seem to be working in MS Access:
IIF([ageLimit]<=100,Date()-365*[ageLimit],[ageLimit])
It recognizes if the field has a number in it that is less than 100. But it's not doing the math and displaying a new record in the new table. Below is the sql:
SELECT tbl_ageLimit.ageLimit INTO tbl_allAges
FROM tbl_ageLimit
WHERE (((tbl_ageLimit.ageLimit)=IIf([ageLimit]<=100,Date()-365*[ageLimit],[ageLimit])));
Can someone kindly point out to me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.
As requested, here are snapshots of the problem:
The table that is created is not showing the fifth record. Stumped.
Consider removing the WHERE clause as you do not need to filter records. Since you intend to evaluate the IIF() expression, place in the SELECT clause:
SELECT IIf([ageLimit]<=100, Date()-365*[ageLimit], [ageLimit]) As [age_Limit]
INTO tbl_allAges
FROM tbl_ageLimit
So I'm pulling data from an external source which returns Date strings of the given format: "10/26/2013 9:46:46 AM"
When I sort the data it does not seem to be able to distinguish between AM and PM values so many noonish / 1 AM values are moved towards the bottom. Has anyone dealt with this before / have a solution to make it recognize the AM/PM aspect along with the day and time?
Thanks
It looks like it is sorting this as text. It may depend on how the data is getting pulled through.
If you select one of the cells and press F2 (to edit) then enter to go to the next cell, does this change your data?
In the code that is pulling the data through, you just need to amend it slightly.
Range("D5").value = string
It may change it slightly to maybe 24 hour time depending on your computer settings
I ended up just splitting the date and time using TimeValue() and DateValue() excel functions.I then wrote a macro to do a 3 key sort based on ticker, date, and then time.
I've got an Access '07 database that imports data from text files. The problem is one of the fields that is taken in comes with a date value before a place value that I don't need. For example, the field comes in like so: 01012010DUBLIN whereas I need it to just display DUBLIN.
I'm stumped on this and any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
I don't know what your skill level is, but the easiest approach would be to import the data to a temporary table, and then do a make-table query. On the make-table query, bring that column in using mid() function:
mid([your field name], 9, [max number of chars to span])
This will truncate the text starting at the 9th character in your field.
Note - You could skip the temp table part and just run an update query on your imported data using the same mid() function.
