Hi All,

I have Webi report which needs to be schedule every 1st , 8th, 15th and 22nd of every Month as it needs to cover data range 1st to 7th, 8th to 14th, 15th to 21st and 22nd to the end of the month, Tried options like weekly or every monday date range and even 7days date filter but no luck.Wonder how can I achieve,really appreciate your inputs

Thanks

Create a custom Calendar for this:-

You don’t need a custom calendar. Honestly.

Just schedule it four times using Monthly. Once on the 1st, once on the 8th, et cetera.

You don’t need one, but can be useful if you have multiple reports that require these same time periods.

Thanks Mak, lugh…really appreciate your inputs, calender option is ideal solution but I have Date filter paramter which needs to get dynamically changed as per the report schedule date range,wonder how can I change or automate date dynamically

I have already setup these filters in Universe,if it’s 1 specific month I can set up filter but these month,dates,daynames changes dynamically…wonder how to capture.Tried local variable option as well but no luck :hb: :hb:
