Average calculations with dates

Hi,
I have a problem with calculating the average time a call lasts. I have a start and finish time to a call that are stored in a database in datetime format. How do i find out the time of the call and then get an average over the number of calls made in a month. I have to hold the time format and show the result in the same time format that is in the database. How do you do this? I know how to do it with decimals but how to manipulate time confuses me.
Cheers
Niall

You can use the method getTime() of the class java.sql.Timestamp, which returns milliseconds in the long type, and toString() method of java.sql.Time may serve your aim here.

How can I activate the average calculation with cl_salv_hierseq_table class

Hi there,
Iu2019m using class cl_salv_hierseq_table to display a two level hierarchy (header and item) list.
For some reason it seams that those calculations are active by default with class cl_salv_table but not for cl_salv_hierseq_table.
I tried every suggestion from the class documentation and SAP help and nothing seams to work, the menu calculation options are always inactive except for the total calculation.
After the cl_salv_hierseq_table=>factory...
And before cl_salv_hierseq_table->display( )
I triedu2026u2026.
cl_salv_aggregations = cl_salv_hierseq_table->get_aggregations( 1 )
cl_salv_aggregations->add_aggregation( 'COLUMN1' )
COLUMN1 is a currency column in header level table
u2026u2026..
cl_salv_aggregations = cl_salv_hierseq_table->get_aggregations( 2 )
cl_salv_aggregations->add_aggregation( 'COLUMN2' )
COLUMN2 is a dec column in item level table
u2026u2026..
cl_salv_aggregations = cl_salv_hierseq_table->get_aggregations( 2 )
cl_salv_aggregations->add_aggregation( columnname = 'COLUMN2' aggregation = if_salv_c_aggregation=>average )
u2026u2026..
cl_salv_aggregations = cl_salv_hierseq_table->get_aggregations( 2 )
cl_salv_aggregations->set_aggregation_allowed( 'COLUMN2' )
u2026u2026..
cl_salv_aggregations = cl_salv_hierseq_table->get_aggregations( 2 )
cl_salv_aggregations->set_numerical_aggregation( ).
cl_salv_aggregations->set_aggregation_allowed( 'COLUMN2' )
cl_salv_aggregations->add_aggregation( columnname = 'COLUMN2' aggregation = if_salv_c_aggregation=>average )
u2026u2026..
cl_salv_aggregations = cl_salv_hierseq_table->get_aggregations( 2 )
cl_salv_aggregations->add_aggregation( 'COLUMN2' )
cl_salv_aggregation = cl_salv_aggregations->get_aggregation( 'COLUMN2' )
cl_salv_aggregation->set( if_salv_c_aggregation=>average )
Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks Harsh Bhalla,
Subtotals can be built (displayed) at Header Level Only, true but the values to calculate those totals can come from either header or item level, otherwise it wouldnu2019t be of much use would it?
Anyway my question is how to activate the average calculation as well because the totals calculations is already active for either item or header level by default.
For reference when on the display layout Iu2019m referring to the menu Edit -> Calculate -> Mean Value.

Average calculation with joins

Hi all,
Please have a look here.,
Re: average calculation using sql
My Question is :
Is it possible to do a join here,
so that in where condition thistable.id=newtable.id
and in column area i need projects from new table.
i.e.,
Projects Name Remark SUM AVG
I tried with this query..
SELECT Projects,Name,Remark, SUM(work_hrs), AVG(work_hrs) FROM (
SELECT name,remark ,a.id,b.id,start_dt,end_dt,SUM(end_dt-start_dt) OVER (PARTITI
N BY name,remark ORDER by Name) work_hrs
FROM T a,T1 b) where a.id=b.id
GROUP BY ROLLUP(name,remark);
But o/p is not as i expect..
Thanks in advance...

The alias 'b' does not exist outside of the subquery/inine view. Try to alias your subquery for clarity then refer to it;
SELECT MAX(sub.sr_pm_name), sub.ts_desc, sub.ts_remarks, AVG(sub.work_hrs)
FROM (SELECT ts_desc,
             ts_remarks,
             b.sr_id,
             a.ts_srid,
             b.sr_pm_name,
             ts_expected_date,
             ts_actual_date,
             SUM(ts_actual_date - ts_expected_date) over(PARTITION BY ts_desc, ts_remarks ORDER BY ts_desc) work_hrs
      FROM t_status_report b, t_task_status a
      WHERE b.sr_id = a.ts_srid) sub
GROUP BY ROLLUP(ts_desc,
                ts_remarks);Another way that might be easier to follow is to use the WITH clause;
WITH sub AS (
   SELECT ts_desc,
          ts_remarks,
          b.sr_id,
          a.ts_srid,
          b.sr_pm_name,
          ts_expected_date,
          ts_actual_date,
          SUM(ts_actual_date - ts_expected_date) over(PARTITION BY ts_desc, ts_remarks ORDER BY ts_desc) work_hrs
   FROM t_status_report b, t_task_status a
   WHERE b.sr_id = a.ts_srid)
SELECT MAX(sr_pm_name), ts_desc, ts_remarks, AVG(work_hrs)
FROM sub
GROUP BY ROLLUP(ts_desc,
                ts_remarks);

Formula variable for date calculations with date-characteristics (2004s)

Hi SDN,
I'd like to calculate the number of days between to date-characteristics. In 3.5, I was used to create 2 formula variables of the type 'replacement path', with 'date' as the dimension indicator. In my formula, I used the 'proces value as date' function for each variable, and I could perform calculations with them.
I'm trying to do the same in 2004s. However, I can't create replacement path's with 'date' as a dimension indicator. So I use 'number' instead, but it doesn't work: my query shows 'x'.
I can use the variables that I created using the 3.5 query designer as a workaround. But I hope there is a better solution.
If other people experience the same problem, please respond. Then I know it's probably a bug.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Daniel,
Try to look at the formula variables defined before the upgrade and see what is different to the newly defined. I am guessing just the terminology used is different.
If not the date value might be blank or something for one of the f-variables used. Try to display the formula variable values as KF in the query results and check what it is showing.
I hope this helps.

Calculations with date fields

I'm trying to do a basic calculation with a CRM date form in BC.
I have a form field 'dateJoined' (though this could easily be the standard DOB field for the sake of this exercies) and I need to use javascript to calculate how many days have passed between today's date and the date in 'dateJoined'.
The {module_customerfield} outputs a string, not a date object, which would be fine but the format of the string is not compatible with the .date object.
I started down the path of lengthy substrings > variables, then linked variables > date object but after lines and lines of code, wondered if there was a simpler way that I was overlooking??

Calculation with Dates

I have one date called Registration Date which will be input into the planning as string in dd--mm-yyyy format. Now I am capturing current date which should pickup from system(By @Today Function).
I know that these dates are now in different formats. I need to calculate difference between these two dates.. I have tried many ways using datediff functions etc. But its not working. please Help me out on this

Hi
Try using @HspDateDiff
You will need to convert the current date into the planning version of the date. You can do this with this formula
(@DATEPART(@TODAY(),DP_YEAR)*10000) + (@DATEPART(@TODAY(),DP_MONTH)*100) + (@DATEPART(@TODAY(),DP_DAY));
This will take the current date and put it into the YYYYMMDD format.
You can then use @HspDateDiff(NewCurrentDate,RegistrationDate);
You can use this link to help you with the use of @HspDateDiff Calculating the difference between dates within Hyperion Planning - Absolute EPM
In later versions of Hyperion Planning there are many more functions for Dates within Calculation Manager
Hope that helps.

Averaging column with date/time format in BI Answer

Hi everyone
we are working on BI answer and training to get the average of the working hours of the departments. The Working Hrs column is Date format in the Database so we tried to converted to CHAR through Cast Function from Edit columns Formula in Answers BI, and this gave us date "2007/09/01" as result!! We also tried to cast the Working hours to:
CAST(WORKING HOURS AS CHARACTER FORMAT 'yyyyMMdd-HHmmss')
NOTE: In the Working Hours we have null values...
the actual working hours appear in Answer Table is "7/1/2009 6:13:00 AM"
How to get the Working Hours column Average on Answer BI?
Appreciate your help

Edited by: user817525 on Jul 21, 2009 11:15 PM

how about next solution:
60 * EXTRACT( HOUR FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME) + EXTRACT( MINUTE FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME)
with this u have minutes for working day. If u divide this expression with 60:
(60 * EXTRACT( HOUR FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME) + EXTRACT( MINUTE FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME)) / 60
u now have hour with decimal (for 8:52 is (8*60+52)/60 = 8,67 )
and u only need to round this number.I hope this help
ps.when u have new question probably is good way to create new thread
all best

Calculations with dates

Hi,
We need to do some calculations based on the dates. But as essbase doesnt store dates we are having a problem. Can anybody suggest a solution for this.

You would store the dates as numbers in Essbase. It's pretty common in a Capex or Workforce application.
Presuming you are using monthly dates Jan 2007 would be 200701 and December would be 200712 etc.
You can use math and functions such as @TRUNCATE, @INT, and @MOD functions to determine the number of months between dates.
If you are looking to store dates and do daily calculations that will of course be more complex.
Here is a sample of some code I have sitting around:
start_year = start_date - @INT(start_date / 100) * 100; /* gives 200700 from 200701 */
start_months = start_date - start_year; /* gives 1 */
add_years = @INT((start_months + num_months) / 12) * 100; /* determine number of years to add */
add_months = @MOD(start_months + num_months,12);
end_date = start_year + add_Years + add_months;
Basically it's all math.

*Urgent* Query with dates

Hi Gurus,
I am having problem in developing such a query which has calculations with dates. The problem is:
I have
base date for example 26-feb-2006
statring day: 4
interval: 5
input date: 15-mar-2006
Now the problem is I want to get the results from the query which will start 26-feb-2006+4 which is 02-mar-2006 and calculate the interval which is 5 days from '02-mar-2006' and run it every 5 (interval) days
02-mar-2006
07-mar-2006
12-mar-2006
I hope I have cleared everything.
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
Aqil

Where is the base_date coming from?
declare
v_jobno number;
dbms_job.submit(v_jobno, 'SCHEMA_NAME.sp_my_proc();',
-- first time running I schedule for 11 pm staring in 4 days
trunc(sysdate+4)+23/24,
-- here the interval
'trunc(sysdate+5)+23/24' );
end;

Dealing with dates

This is more an ActionScript 3 issue, but... is there any
good library that allows to do calculations with dates? Like dateB
= dateA + 1 month (taking into account that dateA could be a
december day and then a year should be added and the next month is
january, etc...).
thanks in advance,
Marc

From what i've seen online in examples is to convert the date
into it's numeric representation. That representation is in
milliseconds past a low date, something like jan 1. 1901, but i
don't remember. Then add or subtract milliseconds from the value.
Then take the result and create a new date object.
I have not needed to do this yet, so if anyone has a better
solution that would be awesome.

How can I get max, min & average (hours with minutes) of fast 30 days data

Table name:
run_log
TYPE VARCHAR2(10),
SUBTYPE VARCHAR2(10),
PROGRAM VARCHAR2(100),
STATUS VARCHAR2(20),
START_TIME      DATE,
END_TIME      DATE
How can I get max, min & average (hours with minutes) of fast 30 days data ?

Hi,
you have to use analytical functions:
SELECT start_day,
       round(AVG(daily_avg)
             over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_avg,
       round(MAX(daily_max)
             over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_max,
       round(MIN(daily_min)
             over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_min
FROM (SELECT trunc(t.start_time) start_day,
               AVG((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_avg,
               MAX((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_max,
               MIN((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_min
          FROM run_log
         GROUP BY trunc(t.start_time)) t
ORDER BY 1 DESCAnalytical functions are described in the Oracle doc "Data Warehousing Guide".

Add average calculation to FBL5N?

Hi,
My user requires an average calculation on one of the columns in FBL5N (customer line items). This is a standard transaction which uses an ALV.
I know that I can add new fields into this transaction using customizing but I need an average, so would need to create a new field and populate it with strange looking numbers in order to get an average total at the bottom.
I have seen an average calculation button on some ALVs and was wondering if it's possible to change the ALV settings in the code of FBL5N in order to get this to show? At the moment I can only total and subtotal, there is no average calculation button showing.
Or, if you can think of another solution, any suggestions gratefully received. The last resort is asking the user to download the data to excel and calculate the average there.
Thanks,
Gill

hi
select the column, which u have to calculate the average .
and select edit menu ->calculate->Mean value

'Average Weighted with Calendar Days' in Exception Aggregation

Dear specialists,
I have created a query with a lot of calculated keyfigures.
One of my calculated keyfigures shows percentage values.
When I select a calendar day, my report shows correct results
for the percentage values.
But when I execute the report without selecting a calendar day,
I get strange results like 3,21 % instead of 97,49 %.
There is a new functionality with version 7.0, where we can set
Aggregation properties like 'Average Weighted with Calendar Days' .
But when I select this with Ref. characteristic 'calendar day',
my report does not show any value or any result.
Are there any other properties to set in Aggregation or Calculations.
Please give me more information about this issue
regards Osman Akuzun

Hi,
       When you define an Exception aggregation on number of work days. There might be some reference characteristic defined in your Bex.
For exmaple, take a scenario like below. Your BW data is like below
0Employee           StockIssued
XXX                            50
XXX                            10
YYY                           20
YYY                            30
YYY                            40
ZZZ                            50
ZZZ                            100
ZZZ                            30
Suppose the first row which has values like XXX and 50 is not a working day and remaining all are working days then the exception aggregation applied using AV2 on the characteristic 0Employee will be caluclated in your Report as below
For XXX, it will       10/1 = 10 (because only 1 working day for the employee XXX)
For YYY, it will       90/3 = 30 (because all 3 are working days for the employee YYY)
For ZZZ, it will       180/3 = 60 (because all 3 are working days for the employee ZZZ)
This is how the exception aggregation works. Try to see the similar kind of example in your system and try to relate in the same lines explained by me. You can understand.
Regards
Sunil
