Spotfire Calendar Filter

Question

Is there a way I can use calendar filter in Spotfire? I am aware of the range filter, but I want the user to only be able to select one date from a range of dates coming from a table.

Answer 1

it's a little bit advanced and requires some scripting (although code is provided), but a date picker can be used:

the result is something like this:

Answer 2

I know this is two years old but I still came across this post and I figured someone else will too.

To get the calendar to filter follow these steps:

• Edit the Text Area
• Click "Insert Filter"
• Click the column from your data that contains dates
• Click "Ok"

Once you save, you will have a slider in the text box and two calendars where dates can be picked or you can utilize the slider.
