Calculate the difference between Creation date and key date

Hello
I want to calculate the difference between creation date of the document with key date(todays date). How can i do that in the query designer. Also then I want to restrict my key figure on this difference if it is =10..please can someone suggest what can be done
thanks

Hi Grame...
For the days calculation ..
I suggest you to use replacement path ..
I have the reference that you can see the sample. The case of samples is also about day calculation.

Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Calculate the Difference Between two dates excluding weekends and Holidays

Hi,
We need to calculate the difference between the two dates by excluding the Local public holidays (It is global and varies across countries) and weekends should not be included in calculation for a business day in OBIEE.
We have two dates: Open date and close date when ever close date is null we are calculating age based on taking the current timestamp and need to exclude the weekends and Holidays when ever the close date is null.
Ex:
Col1 col2 Total
11/9/2010 2:46:38 PM Null 13
11/2/2010 8:06:26 PM 11/3/2010 5:37:03 PM 1
(In the Total we shouldn't include the weekends,holidays)
Please let me know how to calculate the difference between two dates by excluding the weekends and holidays.
Thanks

Calculate the difference between two dates

I would like to calculate the difference between two dates in PL/SQL and return the result as a number of days expressed as an integer value.

Denes,
A fair point, I should really have posted this on the SQL forum (I'm new to the forum as well as PL/SQL) but thanks for responding anyway. It does raise a question as to how to implement this in ApEx though.
I have created the function and am calling it as shown below from the source window of a form. The source type is 'PL/SQL expression or function' and the expression in the source window of the form is:
calc_date_difference (:p26_c_payment, :p26_c_rec)
The two parameters being passed are of type date but I'm not sure how to handle the ruturned number and populate the form in ApEx with this value.
Is it possible to do it this way or am I taking completely the wrong approach?
Regards
Sandy
This is not ApEx related but SQL related:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION calc_date_difference (
p_date_1   VARCHAR2,
p_date_2   VARCHAR2
RETURN NUMBER
v_difference   NUMBER;
v_sql_err      VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
v_difference := TRUNC (TO_DATE (p_date_1)) - TRUNC
(TO_DATE (p_date_2));
RETURN v_difference;
CEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_sql_err := SQLERRM || CHR (10) || CHR (10) ||
SQLCODE;
ND calc_date_difference;and
SQL> SELECT calc_date_difference ('23.01.2007',
'20.01.2007') diff

How to calculate the difference between two dates?

Hello,
I would like to write some code which figures out how many days are between the Date_of_change (which is of datatype DATE, length 7 and of format DD-MON-YY) and the current date today. Then if the difference between Date_of_change and the current date is greater that 30 days for example then I would like to delete that record from the database.
Thanks

Calculating the difference between 2 dates that ristrict 0CALDAY

Hello.
Is there an oppotunity to calculate the difference between 2 dates, that restrict the characteristic 0CALDAY.
If i make the formula with
1. type - replacement path
2. interval use - difference
than the difference could be calculated wrong(example 20070301 and 20070101 - result 201)
Is there another way do solve the problem?
Best regards,
Andrey

Hi,
as you said, you need to create 2 formula variables.Both of them should have Replacement path as the preocessing type. And then use a formula to do the difference above 2 formula varibles.
Now check these settings for both variables:
Replacement Path
Replace Variable with: Key
For Intervals Use: From Value
Currencies and Units
Dimension ID: Date
Then it should work

How to read time stamps from a spreadsheet and calculate the difference between consecutive time stamps?

Hi,
I am new to Labview. This question might be a joke to some of you here, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a spreadsheet with time stamps and power outputs from a generator. I am supposed to calculate the difference between consecutive time stamps, which will act as a delay for the next power output update that needs to be sent. For example, lets say that I have to following data:
Time Stamp                    Power Output
11:00:00 AM                       3kW
11:00:02 AM                       2.9kW
11:00:04 AM                       3.2kW
11:00:06 AM                       3.1kW

What is the difference between delivery date and actual goods issue date?

Hi ,
Can you please tell me the difference between Delivery date and Actual goods issue date ?
Delivery data can be be greater than goods issue date?
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
Delivery date means its the original date on which the delivery should be done.Actual goods Issue date is the date on which goods to be delivered according to the purchase order.There can be delay in the delivery so we maintain 2 objects.
Yes delivery date can be greater than Goods Issue date.
Hope this clears

The difference between FIELD-SYMBOL and normal DATA TYPE

Dear experts,
Please see the example below, both are output the same result.
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
 POSITION TYPE I,
 LENGTH TYPE N,
 ENTRY TYPE STRING.
EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
MOVE EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO ENTRY.
WRITE ENTRY.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
--OR It can be written as--
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
 POSITION TYPE I,
 LENGTH TYPE N.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ENTRY>.
EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
ASSIGN EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO <ENTRY>.
WRITE <ENTRY>.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
Is there any special circumstances we need to use FIELD-SYMBOL?
Why is FIELD-SYMBOL is introduce in the first place?
Kindly advice with example.
Thanks in advance for those who can help me on this.

HI,
You can use field symbols to make the program more dynamic. In this example the name of a table control is substituted by a field symbol. Thus you cal call the form with any internal table, using the name of the table control as a parameter.
Example
form insert_row
using p_tc_name.
field-symbols <tc> type cxtab_control. "Table control
assign (p_tc_name) to <tc>.
insert 100 lines in table control
<tc>-lines = 100.
Field symbols allow you to:
** Assign an alias to a data object(for example, a shortened
 name for data objects structured through several hierarchies
 - <fs>-f instead of rec1-rec2-rec3-f)
** Set the offset and length for a string variably at runtime
** Set a pointer to a data object that you determine at runtime (dynamic ASSIGN)
** Adopt or change the type of a field dynamically at runtime
** Access components of a structure
** (from Release 4.5A) Point to lines of an internal table
 (process internal tables without a separate work area)
Field symbols in ABAP are similar to pointers in other programming
languages. However, pointers (as used in PASCAL or C) differ from ABAP
field symbols in their reference syntax.
The statement ASSIGN f to <fs> assigns the field f to field
symbol <fs>. The field symbol <fs> then "points" to the
contents of field f at runtime. This means that all changes to the
contents of f are visible in <fs> and vice versa. You declare
the field symbol <fs> using the statement FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs>.
Reference syntax
Programming languages such as PASCAL and C use a dereferencing symbol
to indicate the difference between a reference and the object to which
it refers; so PASCAL would use p^ for a pointer instead of p, C would
use *p instead of p. ABAP does not have any such dereferencing symbol.
** In PASCAL or C, if you assign a pointer p1 to a pointer p2,
you force p1 to point to the object to which p2 refers (reference semantics).
** In ABAP, if you assign a field symbol <fs1> to a field
symbol <fs2>, <fs1> takes the value of the data object to
which <fs2> refers (value semantics).
** Field symbols in ABAP are always dereferenced, that is,
they always access the referenced data object. If you want to
change the reference yourself in ABAP, you can use the ASSIGN statement
to assign field symbol <fs1> to field symbol <fs2>.
Using field symbols
You declare field symbols using the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement.
They may be declared either with or without a specific type.
At runtime you assign a field to the field symbol using the ASSIGN
statement. All of the operations on the field symbol act on the field
assigned to it.
When you assign a field to an untyped field symbol, the field symbol
adopts the type of the field. If, on the other hand, you want to assign
a field to a typed field symbol, the type of the field and that of the
field symbol must be compatible.
A field symbol can point to any data object and from Release 4.5A,
they can also point to lines of internal tables.
The brackets (<>) are part of the syntax.
Use the expression <fs> IS ASSIGNED to find out whether the field
symbol <fs> is assigned to a field.
The statement UNASSIGN <fs> sets the field symbol <fs> so
that it points to nothing. The logical expression <fs>
IS ASSIGNED is then false. The corresponding negative expression
is IF NOT <fs> IS ASSIGNED.
An unassigned field symbol <fs> behaves as a constant with
type C(1) and initial value SPACE.
MOVE <fs>
TO dest Transfers the initial value SPACE to the variable dest
MOVE 'A' to <fs>
Not possible, since <fs> is a constant
(runtime error).
To lift a type restriction, use the CASTING addition in the
ASSIGN statement. The data object is then interpreted as though
it had the data type of the field symbol. You can also do this
with untyped field symbols using the CASTING TYPE <type> addition.
The danger with pointers is that they may point to invalid areas.
This danger is not so acute in ABAP, because the language does not
use address arithmetic (for example, in other languages, pointer p
might point to address 1024. After the statement p = p + 10, it would
point to the address 1034). However, the danger does still exist, and
memory protection violations lead to runtime errors.
A pointer in ABAP may not point beyond a segment boundary. ABAP does
not have one large address space, but rather a set of segments.
Each of the following has its own segment:
* All global data
* All local data
* Each table work area (TABLES)
* Each COMMON PART
You should only let field symbols move within an elementary field or
structure where ABAP allows you to assign both within the global data
and beyond a field boundary.

What is the Difference Between Sys Date and Effective Date ??

Hi Gurus,
Can any one pls let me know What is the Difference Between Sys Date and Effective Date ??
with regards
User600722

EFFECTIVE DATE usually refers to a date-tracked record (although not exclusively).
Date-tracked records in Oracle HR have an EFFECTIVE START DATE and an EFFECTIVE END DATE. The record is 'EFFECTIVE' between these dates. In reports, you often use SYSDATE to compare to these two dates to find the CURRENT effective record, e.g. SYSDATE BETWEEN EFFECTIVE START DATE AND EFFECTIVE END DATE.
When you make changes to a HR record, you can choose between DATE TRACKING options, such as CORRECT or UPDATE (there are others too). CORRECT will overwrite the record and replace the data with your changes. This is normally used when you need to correct something that is wrong. UPDATE will create a new version of the record from the EFFECTIVE START DATE you choose. It will also set the EFFECTIVE END DATE of the previous record to the day before your new record's EFFECTIVE START DATE. That enables a history of records to be maintained so you can see what your data looked like at ay one point in time.

Tim
