PVTCompareDateRange (Function)

In french: TCDComparePériode

Warning
From version 26, PVTComparePeriod is kept for backward compatibility. This function is replaced by PVTCompareDateRange.

Calculates and displays a date range comparison in a Pivot Table control.

Example

// Compare 1st quarters 2018 to 2020
sDateRange is string
FOR nYear = 2018 TO 2020
// from January 1 (0101) to March 31 (0331)
sDateRange += [CR] + "" + nYear + "0101" + TAB + nYear + "0331"
END
PVTCompareDateRange(PVT_Sales, sDateRange, pvtAbsoluteEvolution + pvtPercentageEvolution)

Syntax

PVTCompareDateRange(<Pivot Table control> , <Range> , <Display mode>)

<Pivot Table control>: Control name

Name of Pivot Table control to use.

<Range>: Character string

Date ranges to compare. This parameter has the following format:

<Min date Range 1> + TAB + <Max date Range 1> + CR + ...
<Min date Range N> + TAB + <Max date Range N>

where:
<Min date Range> corresponds to the minimum date of the range,
<Max date Range> corresponds to the minimum date of the range.
The date ranges must be in the same order (ascending or descending) as the date dimensions.

<Display mode>: Integer constant

Specifies whether the evolution must be displayed as a percentage and/or absolute values:
pvtAbsoluteEvolution Shows the evolution between date ranges as absolute values.
This constant can be combined with the pvtPercentageEvolution constant.
pvtPercentageEvolution Shows the evolution between date ranges as a percentage.
This constant can be combined with the pvtAbsoluteEvolution constant.
pvtWithoutEvolution
(Default value) Does not show the evolution between date ranges.

Remarks

This function is used to compare date ranges. It is equivalent to "Compare date ranges", an Automatic Application Feature (AAF) in the popup menu of the Pivot Table control. For more details, see Automatic features of Pivot Table controls.
The Pivot Table control must not be empty, otherwise the function will have no effect.
