how to add date facet in faceted search

Hi.

How can I include DATE RANGE  search criteria in Faceted Search?

(while I was trying, I am getting the following error.

Facet is not supported for DATE or TIMESTAMP columns.)

Thanks,

    You need to get the date column as varchar2 and use the input field instead. For example:

    select ORDER_ID,
CUSTOMER_ID,
ORDER_TOTAL,
to_char(trunc(ORDER_TIMESTAMP), 'mm-dd-yyyy') od,
USER_NAME,
TAGS
from DEMO_ORDERS

    Now for the OD column, use the input field and for the database column property, specify the OD column. Then you would be able to enter a date using the same format specified in the SQL query to filter the result at runtime.

      Thank you very much for your quick response, and it works :).

      Unfortunately, I have some more queries.

      I want to put the date range (from_date and to_date as date picker) and filter according to the date range selected.

      (select PROJECT,TASK_NAME,
      to_char(trunc(START_DATE), 'mm-dd-yyyy') od,
      to_char(trunc(END_DATE), 'mm-dd-yyyy') ed
      from EBA_DEMO_IR_PROJECTS)

      So could you please advise me on how I can achieve it, please?

    I think to make two facets input fields (the first one with greater than and the second less than). How can I group it and use a date picker or date picker range as an input type? Would you please let me know if there is a more effective method?

    Thank you very much.
