How to create an input variable with date format?
I have data of a stock portfolio with purchases and sellings of stocks (date, quatity, price). I need an input variable for the single reporting date in normal date format MM-YYYY. So far I was only able to create an input variable in serial number format.
In this way a user can easily select a reporting date (MM-YYYY) and the porfolio as per this particular date will be shown.
PaulusB , You can use automatic date Hierarchy, but you will not get that format.
You can choose the format in column tools
Or create a new column in table or date table
Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mm-yyyy")
Sort it on the sort column below
Month Year sort = FORMAT([Date],"yyyymm")

Thanks a lot for the very quick solution 🙂
