Calculate the date diff

Hi, The requirement is to calculate the diff between 2 date fields and display it. I could able to get the difference between the 2 date fields. But now the result column SHOULD DISPLAY the result ONLY if the 2 date fields have the date set ELSE it should be left blank(basically NULL shud be set to the result column in such cases).
The formula which I have used to get the result is :
(NOERR(date1)<>0 AND NOERR(date2)<>0)*(date1-date2).
The above formula works fine and gives the result as desired except that it puts "0" even though the date fields doenst have a value.I have tried to use the ELSE part by giving "1/0" thinking it wud give me "#" but this didnt help me out anyway.
Any inputs on this...

Thanks for the response.
That was an option which I also thought of and I wud use it only as a last rescue and trying if I can get some info to do it otherwise.
The other option which I have in my mind is to just get this diff into the cube and this shud resolve but then again I hv to chg the BW structures and unnecessarily I wud be increasing the load to the cube.
Any other option in Bex ...???

In AP invoice i need to make "Terms date " field to calculate the date automatically when i select the payment terms

In AP invoice i need to make "Terms date " field to calculate the date automatically when i select the payment terms.
How can i do this?

Hi,
You can select the Payment Term at PO Header Level.
When you book an invoice, that Payment Term will automatically defaulted to Invoice.
You can define Payment Term in AP.
Payment terms have one or more payment terms lines, each of which creates one scheduled payment. Each payment terms line and each corresponding scheduled payment has a due date or a discount date based on either a specific day of a month, such as the 15th of the month, or a number of days added to your terms date, such as 14 days after the terms date.

Using Numbers, can I calculate the date that will be eg 45 days ahead of a given date?

Using Numbers, can I calculate the date that will be eg 45 days ahead of a given date?

MWB,
Certainly. Let's say that your given date is in B2. The date 45 days earlier can be found with:
=B2 – 45.
Almost seems too simple.

Calculate the date interval in days

Hi all!
I need your kind help.
I have an oracle sql table.
here is goes..
TABLENAME: RACE
DATE NAME
11-JAN-12 JAMES
12-JAN-12 JAMES
14-JAN-12 JAMES
17-JAN-12 JAMES
22-JAN-12 JAMES
01-FEB-12 JOHN
11-FEB-12 JOHN
13-FEB-12 JOHN
14-FEB-12 JOHN
28-FEB-12 JOHN
01-MAR-12 JOHN
HOW DO I Calculate the total date interval(difference) for James and John in days?
for example in this case the total is 7 days for James(11-JAN-12 to 12-JAN-12 is 0 days and 12-JAN-12 to 14-JAN-12 is 1 day and 14-JAN-12 to 17-JAN-12 is 2 days) and 24 days for John
The data for the date will be random and can be up to 60 difference dates and names so I will like to calculate for all different names.. Thanks!

Can you explain in more detail why James should have 7 days?
Difference in dates can be easily calculated (if you use the DATE datatype, that is) by simply subtracting them.
Example:
SQL> -- generating sample data:
SQL> with race as (
2 select to_date('11-JAN-12', 'dd-mon-yy') dt, 'JAMES' nm from dual union
3 select to_date('12-JAN-12', 'dd-mon-yy'), 'JAMES' from dual union
4 select to_date('14-JAN-12', 'dd-mon-yy'), 'JAMES' from dual union
5 select to_date('17-JAN-12', 'dd-mon-yy'), 'JAMES' from dual union
6 select to_date('22-JAN-12', 'dd-mon-yy'), 'JAMES' from dual union

Calculate the date difference on essbase 9.3

Hi Everbody,
I want to calculate the difference between 2 date in essbase 9.3. Is any one did this practice ?
I have done this but that is not a better way. so please share your thought with me.
Regards
Vikram Singh

Hi,
DateDiff function returns the difference (number) between two input dates in terms of the specified date-parts, following a standard Gregorian calendar.
Syntax
DateDiff ( date1, date2, date_part )
date1+ is the number representing the input date between January 1, 1970 and Dec 31, 2037. The number is the number of seconds elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970. To retrieve this number, use any of the following functions: Today(), TodateEx(), GetFirstDate(), GetLastDate(), DateRoll().
Date-time attribute properties of a member can also be used to retrieve this number. For example,
Product.currentmember.[Intro Date] returns the product introduction date for the current product in context.
[Cola].[Intro Date] returns the product introduction date for Cola.
date2+ A second input date. See date1.
date_part+ Defined time components as per the standard calendar.
DP_YEAR - Year of the input date.
DP_QUARTER - Quarter of the input date.
DP_MONTH - Month of the input date.
DP_WEEK - Week of the input date.
DP_DAY - Day of the input date.

How do i calculate the dates in this scenario

I have a situation here and i am not able to think through it
there are 4 date columns in a table and i need to do something like below
First Record start date is the start date, and end date is the next start date -1
Next start date is next start date, and end date is the first end date of the record set of the end dates
Next start date pervious end date + 1 and end date is the current end date
Next start date is the current date and next end date is the current end date
for example lets say we have a table like below
CustomerID CustomerType CustomerEffDt   CustomerTrmDt CustNationalBgnDt CustNationalEndDt
1                  National           2013-08-05        9999-12-31
2010-11-08            2011-11-02

R you talking about the below to create new variable on the existing key figure
Selecting Variables
When you select characteristic values in the query definition, you can also select variables instead of fixed values. These act as placeholders and are only filled with fixed values when the query is executed.
When selecting variables, you can also define new variables, change variables, or delete variables. These functions are always available to the right of the selection of the variable type.
Selecting Variables
1.      Choose Show ® Variables.
2.      Under Type, select the variable type (such as Characteristic Value Variable, Hierarchy Node Variable) from which you want to select the variable.
3.      Select one (or, in exceptional cases, more than one) variable from the list of available variables in the left window and add them (using the right arrow) to the right Selection window.
Selecting Variable Value Range Limits
1.      Choose Show ® Value Ranges.
2.      Select your required operator from the dropdown box. You can choose from the following operators:
○       Between
○       Less Than or Equal to
○       Greater Than or Equal to
○       Less Than
○       Greater Than
3.      Select the required value or values for the value range and choose . The input help appears in a new dialog box and displays the selection of variables under Show ® Variables.
4.      Under Type, select the variable type (such as Characteristic Value Variable, Hierarchy Node Variable) from which you want to select the variable.
5.      Select the required variable and choose OK.
6.      For the Between operator, two single values are required for the interval limits; the system automatically displays two dropdown boxes. In this case, repeat steps 3-5.
7.      After you have set the value range, choose OK.
8.      Add the selection to the right Selection window using the right arrow.

Formula to calculate the date difference

Hi Experts,
I am having a requirement . where i need to create the query with difference between the two dates. like date1 and date2
Now i have created a formula for this diff =date1 - date 2 now the client want that this operation has to b executed when date2 hold some value r else "diff" column has to b blank.
Regards

KK,
if (date_diff > 0) * date_diff.
it will first check wheather data_diff >0 . Suppose its value is 5.
now after that v r multiplying with date_diff ie 5 then the result will be 25 right ??
--> No, if (date_diff > 0) is boolean operation return "0" or "1" only. if its true then 1 or 0.
So: same example: if (date_diff > 0) * date_diff --> 1*5 = 5.
Hope it Helps

How to calculate two date diff?

what is the similar function in BIEE? like datediff = date1 - date2 SQL statment in Oracle db,
i have tried to use minus, it was not works, BIEE does not support minus two date directly?
thanks a lot!
Kaymo

you can use timestampdiff function. The TimestampDiff function returns the total number of specified intervals between two timestamps.
Syntax:
TimestampDiff (interval, timestamp-expression1, timestamp-expression2)
example TimestampDiff (SQL_TSI_DAY, date1, date2) returns the number of days between date1 and date2.
The specified interval. Valid values are:
SQL_TSI_SECOND
SQL_TSI_MINUTE
SQL_TSI_HOUR
SQL_TSI_DAY
SQL_TSI_WEEK
SQL_TSI_MONTH
SQL_TSI_QUARTER
SQL_TSI_YEAR
