Test if a specific month is selected then do something

ankiutel

Hello,

 

I have a module,and within it I use Time as a Page selector in it. 

My time is formatted like this : Calendar Type : Calendar Months/Quarters/Years, Fiscal Year Start Month: Jan, Current FY : 1 Jan 2018 - 31 Dec 2018. 

 

For a specific line item in my module I want to test something like this : IF Jun is selected THEN do a 1st instruction ELSE IF Dec is selected then do a 2nd instruction ELSE BLANK .

 

My problem is that I don't know how to test if Jun or Dec is selected from pages, instead of other months. 

 

I tried something like this : 

• IF MONTH(TIME.'Jun 18') THEN 
• IF ITEM(Time) = Time.Jun THEN 

None of them worked. Please help me!

 

Thank you & best regards

You won't be able to do that kind of check

However, you can create a line item that is formatted as a time period (Months) and publish that to the dashboard.  Then you can check that line item using the IF ITEM(TIME) = Selection module.Choose month

 

If you need the use to only select certain months (so either Jun or Dec), you'll need to create a list with those two members, create a module by that list with a line item that is formatted by month. 

the the check will something like:

IF ITEM(TIME)= Choose months.Month[LOOKUP:selection module.Choose month]

 

I hope that helps
