Week Picker

[jagstirling]

Hi,

I am looking for a simple method to select a week in a year, based on an assumption that there are 48 weeks in a year (see mock up attached, where the grey week buttons are clickable).

The calendar picker in FM is great, but not suitable for my requirements, but I WOULD like my requested solution to be accessed in the same way (maybe returning something like YEAR, MONTH, WEEK_NUM.

Also, not that bothered if the week are 1-4 for each month or 1-48.

Has anything been built that i could leverage? Thanks

So why don't you implement your mockup as a popover containing 48 buttons, all running the same script with a different parameter?

For simplicity, let's say the parameter is just a number between 1 and 48. Then your script could do:

Set Field [ YourTable::Year ; AnyTable::gYear ]
Set Field [ YourTable::Month ; Div ( Get (ScriptParameter) - 1 ; 4 ) + 1 ]
Set Field [ YourTable::Week ; Mod ( Get (ScriptParameter) - 1 ; 4 ) + 1 ]

where gYear is a the (global) field shown at the top of your picker.

Well, then you don't really need a Month field and could make this even simpler.

Thanks for this.

I am an AB-SOL-UTE newbie in Filemaker, but I have convinced my company to buy a licence so I hope this will change.

I will search up 'popover' and take it form there.
