Formula 1 Theme - Overlap Group Visibility Based on Preset Dates / Times

[Dimitri_Gregorio]

I am working on building a complex F1 theme and need some help with two things:

1. I’ve created an overlap group for each of the 24 F1 races next season. How can I dynamically show / hide each respective overlap Group depending on the date / time? I want to display the upcoming race info automatically.

2. Is there any way to access real time data like drivers / constructors championship standings, etc and display it in KLWP?

Thank you

Hi there,

In regards to your questions…

1. You can set visibility of an Overlap Group from its Layer tab. Use this formula example to check today’s date against any date range you want: $if(dp(00d)>=dp(2024y01M01d) && dp(00d)<dp(2024y05M31d), Always, Remove)$ ➞ if today’s date is within the date range, then show the Overlap Group or else Remove it from the display.

2. In order to get any data from any sources through an API service, you can use the Web Get function: $wg()$

I hope this would help.
