Need help in Analytic Apps

Hi All,

 

I made an app from a dummy dataset that allows me to collect data by filtering month and day, and it works perfectly.

 

When I select a month, all of the dates appear. These are fixed values. How can I make it such that when I select a month, just the days in the original dataset are displayed?

 

For example, in my original dataset, under month - 'September,' 'Saturday' is missing. However, when I pick 'September' in the app window, it displays all of the days. Logically I want to build a logic where 'Saturday' should not be shown.

 

Need help.

@EN6924 I think I can help you out here. However, your workflow was not uploaded as a packaged workflow, so it is erroring out (see below). When able, can you click on Options > Export Workflow?

Uploading the dummy dataset

@EN6924 this sounds like chained app territory; or, at least that would be my recommendation for how to proceed.

 

In App1, develop your logic around the Saturday/Sunday exclusion prior to creating your output from App1.

 

App1's input becomes the input file for App2. In App2's app interface, you'll include a Drop-Down that is "loaded" with the list of days from that month. There are a couple of ways of doing this, to be sure. But, what it'll likely look like is a Summarize tool that grabs the list of days that are within the (filtered) App1 output data set.

After you have loaded App2's "Days" Drop-Down, you'll need to set your App1's Interface Designer Properties so that when App1 is done running, it'll open App2 where you'll select the Day, before finally creating the output you need.

Can you upload a sample? It would be easier for me. Because I have not worked in Chained apps.

Hi rzdodson

 

I have found the solution of my problem by creating a Chained app. Thanks for the guidance.
