Hallo,

 

How to create a dropdown list as filter for Year and Month

From Period = This will display Year & Month 

To Period = This will display Year & Month

 

The selection will retrieve those within the selected year and month from the table.

 

Please advice

 

Thank you in advance

Hi Jheng,

You could create a helper table which stores all dates in a separate table. One of the columns in this table could be in format "YYYY-MM”.

You can create a reference from this date table to your relevant table.

Via Subjects > Columns > <your_date_column> you can configure a lookup which shows for example the "YYYY-MM” field from the lookup table you just made. This will become a dropdown list in a filter form / popup.

Having a helper table for dates is super helpful in many other situations as well!

Does this help your case? 

 

Best regards,

Nick Janssen
