What version are you on?
In XIr2 you can arrange this by removing all the checkmarks at the prompt-properties (visible at the right of your prompt). Now users always have to use the calendar when selecting a date. :slight_smile:

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am using webI 6.x
I was able to display the calendar at the prompt. But I have another problem…
I have two fields for the date range at the prompt. Date From and Date To. With Calendar control, when I selected the date it displays the selected date and also “12:00:00 AM”
Is there any way that I could make it to show just the selected date? so that when Date From and Date To values are same, it should just treat as Date equal to.
With this “12:00:00 AM”, I cant achieve it unless I change the time 11:59:59.
Hope I was clear and thanks in advance.

Hi Rohit,
You need to do create this filter at universe level. here is the sample code:

TABLENAME.COLUMNNAME = @Prompt(‘Enter Date:’,‘D’,Mono,Free,user:45)

hope this helps.

This should display calendar control on webi report on refresh. Try creating that filter in universe.
