Use Input-Parameter in an Input-Parameter

[D039507]

Hi all,

I want to use an Input Parameter in an Input Parmeter.

I have these Input Parameter:

Date_from

Date_to

TimeRange (1 or 2)

Date_to_2

Date_to_2 is use in the mapping of the underlying Views.

Input Parameter Date_to_2 is calulated in an expression:

if(('$$TimeRange' = '1', '$$Date_from$$', '$$Date_to$$')

Is this possible?

Depending on the TimeRange I want to set the Date_to_2, which is used in the underlying calc. Views (via Data Source Mapping).

Is this possible?

Hi Thorsten,

As far as I know Input parameter can't be used inside another input parameter.

Can you please post some screenshots to understand the scenario well.

Hi Shireesha,

thanks for your comment. Here are some screenshots:

This are my Input parameters:

TimeRange could be 1 or 2

if TimeRange = 1, P_ValidityStartDate2 = P_ValidityStartDate

if TimeRange = 2, P_ValidityStartDate2 = P_ValidityEndDate

And this input parameter is used for the underlying views:

Example:

IF TimeRange = 1

Selection period for underlying Views is 01.01.2015 - 31.12.2015

IF TimeRange = 2

Selection period for underlying Views is 31.12.2015 - 31.12.2015

Hi Thorsten,

As I said before input parameter can't be used inside another input parameter but your output can be achieved as below.

-> Create calculated column with the expression

if (TimeRange = =1, P_ValidityStartDate2, P_ValidityStartDate)

-> Now create Date_to_2 column type input parameter using above created calculated column which can be used to map for underlying views

Hope this helps you.
