Hello,

I have to create a report something like on the pickture below. It is something like calendar for 2 years, where the red line indicates today day(ignore blue bars). Does anybody have any ideas how to create this?

Thank you.

sir_jeroen

Have you tried a crosstab with project names on row and dates in column?


otsizh

what dates should I put in the columns? I need all days for 2 years...

sir_jeroen

How about that?

Row 1yr
row 2MonthMonthMonth

otsizh

thanks,

what whould I put in the middle of the crosstab?

sir_jeroen

count (date) and after that some conditional formatting :
if (count(date) > 0 ) then ('blue') else('')

otsizh

what whould be right expression for conditional variable?
2005-10-05=[Year]+'-'+[Month]+'-'+[date]  ?

sir_jeroen

why do you want to do that?
If you do "count(date)" then you would get null or "1....31"
and not null means blue color...

sir_jeroen

you need the count(date) in order to get something in the crosstab in order to indicate that that date must be blue... you could also use "1" instead of "count(date)"

otsizh

thank you i will try that- it is kind of working......

but How would i do the current date vertical red line?

sir_jeroen

you must create a condition format for every day... So 730 conditions ....

sir_jeroen

if your case has been solved plz close it (how to do that read board rules)

otsizh

thank you for your advise,

but my problem is not solved yet...

otsizh

is it possible to do with chart item??

sir_jeroen

How do you think that would be possible?

otsizh

date is not measure-   How would I count date??

Darek

you can count anything you want, doesn't have to be a measure.

Little reminder: close the topic if it's been solved (see board rules)
