Same date range values

Question

Hi Experts,
I have a complex requirement for a date range functionality.
Here is the detailed explanation:
I have field TransactionDate field coming from an Oracle View.
I have 2 parameters to be created on the same field and either of them can be selected but not both and both can be blank even.
1. Transaction date on or before
2. Transaction Date Range
We may have values for only one prompt at any given point.
If the user enters value for Transaction date on or before, then report should display data less than or equal to the date entered.
If the user enters values for the Transaction Date Range, report should display date between the user entered dates.
If none is entered report should display data for all dates.
Now, when the Transaction Date Range has same values in Start of Range and End of Range, we need to display the record for maximum(Transaction Date) under a particular account, irrespective of the dates specified, i.e if the user enters current date in Start of Range and End of Range and there will be no records for this date. In this scenario, report should display the maximum(Transaction Date) for that account.
I've tried all of I could, but ending up with a blank report.
Any suggestions will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

HI Naresh,
Have you tried this,
add 'maximum' infront of this '...... {DBVW.DT} <= CurrentDate'  condition
if(({@FrmBalDt}(NotEqualto)" " and {@ToBalDt}(NotEqualto)"  ") and ({@FrmBalDt} = {@ToBalDt})
and MAXIMUM({DBVW.DT} )<= CurrentDate)
then maximum({@BalDate})
else {@BalDate}
if it is not working, Check where the condition is failing..
or else try this also
(not HasValue({?Client Id}) OR {DBVW.CLID} = {?Client Id}) and
(not HasValue({?Base Currency Code}) OR {DBVW.BCCYCOD} = {?Base Currency Code}) and
(not HasValue({?Account Type}) OR {DBVW.ACDES} = {?Account Type}) and
(not HasValue({?Legal Entity Name}) OR {DBVW.CUST} = {?Legal Entity Name}) and
(not HasValue({?Account Currency}) OR {DBVW.CCY} = {?Account Currency}) and
(not HasValue({?Account Number}) OR {DBVW.ACNO} in {?Account Number}) and
(not HasValue({?Account Group}) OR {DBVW.ACGRP} = {?Account Group}) and
(not HasValue({?Show Latest Statement on or before}) OR {DBVW.DT} <= {?Show Latest Statement on or before}) and
(if {?Activity Only} = "True" then ({DBVW.CT_CR} <>0 or {DBVW.CT_DB}0)
ELSE if {?Activity Only} = "False" then ({DBVW.CT_CR} >=0 or {DBVW.CT_DB}>=0)) and
(if {?Business Days Only} = "True" then (not(datepart("w",{DBVW.DT}) in 7,1) and
(not HasValue({?Balance Date Range}) OR {@BalDate} = {?Balance Date Range}))
else if {?Business Days Only} = "False" then ((not HasValue({?Balance Date Range})
Up to this copy paste of your formula
OR {@BalDate} = (if maximum({?Balance Date Range})>maximum({DBVW.DT} ) then maximum(date({DBVW.DT} )) else {?Balance Date Range}))))
i think this may work, without your second formula
regards,
Salah
