Addition of days to date column in OBIEE

Hi Gurus,
I have one date column, Alert date and based on this column I need to create another date column say, Due date.The formula will be like,
Due date = Alert date + 30days. I found a function,TimeStampAdd while editing the column formula but not sure as how to use it. Pls help me to implement this.
Thanks in advance.

Timestampadd(sql_tsi_day,30,alertdate)
TIMESTAMPADD(interval, intExpr, timestamp)
e.g:timestampadd (SQL_TSI_DAY, 3, TIMESTAMP'2000-02-27 14:30:00')

Hi User,
All 3 functions can be written in rpd too.In BMM layer, duplicate the date column ->Goto Column Mapping tab-> Expression builder ->Select Functions-> Calendar Date/Time Functions-> Select DayofMOnth function. Your logical column's formula will look like,
DayofMonth(YourDateColumn)

Date column in OBIEE-SQL Server

Hi expert,
I have created date (datetime)column in sql server cube. Now I wat it inmy OBIEE as date. how to do that.
When we import,there are only three option->Double,Varchar,Unknown.

Something wrong.... once you import table in rpd the column should have Type as DATETIME or DATE.
If its not the case then you can change the format in rpd.

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.

Hi,
We have created cube in sql server.

I tried evaluate function also but not able to do in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.

Hi,
In your cube have you set the type to 'Date' for this attribute? If not, try it and let me know if this still imports as varchar.
Hope this helps.

How to place one column under another column in obiee report?

Hi all,
I am new to obiee, so need some help from obiee experts. Can anyone tell me how to place one column data under another column in obiee report?
i need the report to be as below
category total_students Course_enrollment Test_attended pass_test
total N % N % N %
all students ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Ethnicity
Asian ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
African American ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
white ######
Filipino ######
Gender
Male ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Female ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
and similarly for other columns
where ethnicity, gender are columns in the table and Course_enrollment, Test_attended, pass_test are calculated columns.
Please help me to create a report as above if anyone knows how to do it.
Edited by: Shailaja on Jul 19, 2010 12:23 AM

Two ideas I can think of:
1) Create multiple pivot tables and then display them one under the other
2) Create multiple measure columns such as "male_amt", "female_amt", "white_amt", "asian_amt", "black_amt", etc. for all the columns you need. Then you could simple stack them in a single pivot table.
Option #2 might give you the prettiest results - but also requires a lot more maintenance (for instance, if you reclassify ethnic groups, you'd have to go through the reports to add additional metric columns).
Hope this helps,
Scott

TimestampDiff and TimestampADD( Difference of two dates) in OBIEE
How to get a difference between two dates (in terms ) of days,weeks,months what every it may be
The below formula gives you no.of days between day date and current_Date
Days difference:
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, Time."Day Date",CURRENT_DATE)
The below formula gives you no.of months day date and current_Date
Months difference:
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, Time."Day Date",CURRENT_DATE)
The below formula adds months to day date column
Toadd 12 months to a date column:
TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 12,Time."Day Date")
similarly we can write the formulas using different intervals based on the date format in the column
Here are the intervals :
SQL_TSI_SECOND,
SQL_TSI_MINUTE,
SQL_TSI_HOUR,
SQL_TSI_DAY,
SQL_TSI_WEEK,
SQL_TSI_MONTH,
SQL_TSI_QUARTER,

2 date columns and one dimension hierarchy

Hi,
I have one question in OBIEE 10g.
I have one dimension table with 2 date columns (insertedOn, updatedOn)
I created insertedOnYear, insertedOnMonth and updatedOnYear, updatedOnMonth columns from my date columns.
I have hierarchy
Year -> Month -> Day for that dimension table
and I would like to dril down both columns insertedOnYear and updatedOnYear
insertedOnYear -> insertedOnMonth -> insertedOn
updatedOnYear-> updatedOnMonth -> updatedOn
I am able to do it only for one of these columns and not for both.
I can place both columns to appropriate levels, but drilling doesn´t work as I want
Can you tell me how to solve my problem?

Oops, I was talking about 11G. Ok no problem. Do this. In the physical layer, cretea 2 alias tables. Both pointing to the table where you have these 2 fields. The put everything in your BMM. There create the 2 hierarchies using the 2 different tables (that will point to the 2 alias tables create in the physical layer). This will make them unique.

Two date column in a table

I have a Sales Data warehouse of Retail shops which operate 24x 7 with 2 shifts of 12 hours each. Time for each shift is 7 to 7.
I have a Calendar Dimension which has all the dates listed.
TABLE_CALENDAR
-DAY_KEY NUMBER
-DAY_DATE NUMBER
I have a Sales table which has two dates columns: one is the Sales Date whereas another one is the shift date. So there are two joins (Foreign keys) from Sales Table to the Calendar Table.
TABLE_SALES
-SALES_KEY
-SALES_DAY_KEY
-SALES_TIME_KEY
-PRODUCT_KEY
-SHIFT_KEY
-SHIFT_SUPERVISOR_KEY
-SHIFT_CASHIER_KEY
-SHIFT_DAY_KEY
-SALES_QTY
-SALES_AMOUNT
-COST_AMOUNT
I need to develop an analysis on these tables where the Area managers look at the sales by day, month and year and Shift Supervisor and Shift Managers want to look at sales by shifts. (Shift Date).
When I define two joins in OBIEE Administrator, it say that I can have a single join from one dimension. (From Calendar Dimenstion to Sales). this way I can report only by Sales Date.
How can I report by Shift Date?

Create 2 date dimensions: one for calendar date, one for shift date.

How to display an "All Day Event" date correctly in an integrated SSRS Report?

I have two event items in a calendar list in SharePoint 2010. Both items have the same start time and end time. One of them, however, has the "All Day Event" checkbox checked. If I access them through a REST service, this is how the data is
returned:

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:55:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">false</d:AllDayEvent>

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:59:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">true</d:AllDayEvent>
I have a report in the same SharePoint 2010 site that uses SSRS in integrated mode. The data source is the calendar list mentioned above. The date fields are not formatted, just displayed as them come from the list/database.
My locale is set to en-US. When I run the report, the start date for item 1 is displayed as "3/21/2014" ('all day' set to false) but the start date for item 2 is displayed as "3/20/2014" which is incorrect ('all day' set to true).
I did some research online and found out that SharePoint stores all date fields as UTC except for 'All Day Events', which are stored in local time (our servers are in Central Time, but I'm running the report fom Pacific Time, in the US).
I coudn't find a solution to display the date correctly in the integrated SSRS report. Is there a way, maybe some straightforward formatting, to show All Day Event dates correctly? I tried adding hours but this is inconsistent with daylight saving hour changes.
I would appreciate any help.
C#, Sharepoint

Hi SharpBud,
The date for all day event stored in SQL in GMT time, the start time for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
This is a confirmed issue, as a workaround, I would suggest you to use a calculate column for the event for the column, using the following format:
IF(TEXT(([End Time]-[Start Time])-TRUNC(([End Time]-[Start Time]),0),"0.000000000")="0.999305556",IF([Start Time]=ROUND([Start Time],0),[Start Time],DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start
Time]),DAY([Start Time])+1)),[Start Time])

Last Year Inovice Total need to be calculated in a new column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have a measure Net Invoiced Amount, and now my client is asking to get a new column in which last year's Net Invoiced Amount total needs to be calculated.
We need to select the Dates dynamically, it is 2012, so the column should the invoiced amount total for 2011, if it is 2013 then amount should be 2012. Can we do this in RPD. If so, please tell me how.

Hi,
Method1:
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , -1, TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , EXTRACT( DAY_OF_YEAR FROM DATE Column) * -(1) + 1,
DATE Column))
Note: create alias table from your fact (call it as fact table name_YTD) Join th aliases to the dimension tables exactly like how your normal fact table is joined to the aliases, except for the time dimension.
Method 2: by using Time series functions (Ago fxn)
Ago(<<Measure>>, <<Level>>, <<Number of Periods>>)
Example:Ago("Human Resources"."Fact - Absence"."# Days" , "Human Resources"."Time"."Year" , 1)
Method 3: if your using obiee11g --> from analysis itself you cand solve it
AGO(expr, [time_level], offset)

HI Kishore
Thanks for your reply i checked all the things but with no success. do think there could be any other place where i should check .
1. nqsconfig date format
its same for both the two installations
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
" hw i can check this
finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html
no its not on one column .. its to all the date format columns on all the reports .. so i think its not case with me .
please let me know if you need more info

Date diff in obiee

Hi,
how can i calculate date difference in hours from 2 dates(timestamp) in obiee
i.e. 02/03/1986:08:00 and 03/02/1986:0:14:00

Hi,
If you are having two date column and want the difference in hours then try with the below function:
timestampdiff(SQL_TSI_HOUR, date_column1, Date_Colum2)
or if you are having two date value in the expression itself then go with the below syntax:
timestampdiff(SQL_TSI_HOUR, TIMESTAMP'1998/07/31 23:35:00', TIMESTAMP'2000/04/01 14:24:00')
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Bose
