for my evaluation I have set a date range as an input parameter. This chosen date range should be displayed in a textbox (by using a formula field for example).
What I reached so far is, that I choose a date range and CR goes through the corresponding data.
But I can only see the first and last date on which something happenend.
Example:
Entered Date range: 01.01.2019 - 16.10.2019
First/last date with a created notification: 03.01.2019 - 14.10.2019
Displayed date range: 03.01.2019 - 14.10.2019
This could cause confusion because it looks like we evaluated a shorter date period.
Is there a method to just show the entered parameters?
Thanks in advance!
Instead of placing the parameters in a formula and displaying them as this may be causing your issue. Do the following;
Get a textbox and place it in the report header. On the right in your field explorer, expand the Parameter Fields and drag the DateFrom and DateTo in the textbox. Something like this;
Doing so will display the entered range in the parameter and not the range values actually exist for.

in Google Sheets I'd like to format an area of cells automatically by comparing its date value to another cell. In fact, I have some cells representing a month (the area of cells to be formatted) and a single cell with another date (05.05.2022 formatted as 05.05. see screenshot).
So date for homework is located in U6 and cell area for moth of may is K11:Q16. When I set conditional formatting to
apply to range: K11:Q16
and
Date is: exact date: =U6 or custom formula is: =U6
it does not work. But when I set range to N12 (05.05.2022 formatted as 5) it does work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
edit:
I created a separate sheet for sharing, so this does not fit to the screenshot:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gBx3dbzxk3Qb999uo3YMdz0A9-ViSE4xPeihhasN7FQ/edit?usp=sharing
try like this:
=COUNTIF($I$2:$I$5; D11)
or:
=MATCH(D11; $I$2:$I$5; )
In my LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet, I have a block with a line for each data array (with block:tbs-row)
one of the values is a date, which is sometimes empty
With [blk1.DT_FIN_ABONNEMENT;noerr;frm=dd/mm/yyyy;ope=tbs:string], I have a text value when not empty, and an empty cell when the value is empty.
With [blk1.DT_FIN_ABONNEMENT;noerr;frm=dd/mm/yyyy;ope=tbs:date], I have a date value when not empty, and '30/12/1899' when the value is empty.
I would like to have an empty cell when there is no value.
I tried frm='dd/mm/yyyy|||', frm='dd/mm/yyyy||| ', frm='dd/mm/yyyy|||NULL', frm='dd/mm/yyyy|||#N/A'
and the result is the same
and
[blk1.DT_FIN_ABONNEMENT;noerr;ope=tbs:string;mok:magnet=tbs:p]
[blk1.DT_FIN_ABONNEMENT;noerr;frm=dd/mm/yyyy;ope=tbs:date;magnet=tbs:p]
breaks the template
Can anyone give me a clue ?
Thanks
LibreOffice (and OpenOffice) has no NULL value for dates. AS soon as a cell is typed as date, then it tries to convert it to a date. If a date value is empty then it applies the zero date value, which is set for the Workbook at the option window : Tools/Options/LivreOffice Calc/Calculation.
As you should see, the default zero date value is usually set to 1899-12-30.
Unfortunately, OpenTBS cannot deals yet with this LibreOffice behavior. (OpenTBS current version is 1.10.0).
A cannot see any simple way to make a workaround.
Since you use ope=tbs:date, then the cell is typed as date, and thus LibreOffice assumes it is zero date value when the inner value is empty. By the way, when you use ope=tbs:date, then your parameter frm is overwritten by OpenTBS.
Since you don't use ope=tbs:something, then the cell is typed as string and you cannot use the cell as a date...

Here is what I am facing.
I am using the 'sheet selector' technique to switch between two sheets and the sheet selector parameter is the 'PY' and 'Date Range' option.
I also want to hide the corresponding filters along with the sheets.
When I pick PY - the checkboxes will be displayed.
When I pick date range Rebate Commit Date will be displayed.
I was able to successfully hide PY option by setting it to 'Only relevant values'.
However that is not working for date range
So I used a floating object in a vertical container to hide the date range.
It is hiding successfully but when I need to access date range am not able to do that because of the floating object on top.
Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have an RDL with a table/textbox visibility set to:
=iif(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",false,true)
I am trying to make this textbox display the value named "narrative" only if the question_caption record = "OBJECTIVE 1". How can I do this? Currently this textbox displays nothing with the above logic. I have the narrative field stored in a Placeholder if that makes any difference.
Here is some sample data for you:
create table #dummy_data
(
question_caption varchar(max),
narrative varchar(max)
)
insert #dummy_data values('1st week dates','week 1'),('2nd week dates','week 2'),('3rd week dates','week 3'),('OBJECTIVE 1','obj 1'),
('5th week dates','week 5')
select * from #dummy_data
I don't see anything wrong with your visibility expression. However, in your question, you're discussing two separate things as one (i.e., visibility & displaying a value in a placeholder).
The hidden property will show an object (tablix, textbox, image, chart, container, etc) if the expression returns false and will hide an object when the expression returns true. When I say hide, I mean that it will remove the object from the grid and, if all is setup properly, the surrounding objects will be shifted to fill the now empty space of the hidden object.
To display (or not) a value is an entirely different thing. To show or hide a value, you would put the following expression in the value property of the placeholder:
=IIF(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",Fields!narrative.Value,"")
Notice that I've set it up such that if the desired value of the question_caption field is present, it will display the value of the narrative field. Otherwise, it will return an empty string. This will maintain the layout of the report but simply display the desired value or an empty string, based on some criteria.
As for the issues you're current experiencing, I'm not sure why that would be happening. I would first check that you don't have a typo in the Objective 1 hardcoded value in your expression.
If this doesn't help, please comment and let me know some more information about your problem and I'll do my best to help.
Our user wants a date field to display as highlighted or with a grey background when the date is null. How would I do something like this? (At the very least, I suspect I'll first have to convert it to a string.)
Completed Date
12/15/2010
03/07/2011
<-- make that a grey block
05/01/2010
I hope that you don't think this too hacky but you can do what you want by adding a Formula field and calling it something like NullCheck. Then put the code below in the NullCheck formula field so that it places an X whenever the date field is null.
If IsNull({DeleteMe.DateField}) Then
"X"
Next put that field (NullCheck) on your page so that the box covers the date field exactly. Then use the Highlighting Expert to set the background and the font to the same color when the X appears in the field (see image below).
When done it should "highlight" all null dates fields as shown.
