Calculated Column with Null date end result needs to be text.

Good Morning,
I am using SharePoint 2010 and am trying to create a calculated column converting a date/time column to to show just a month and day. Calculation is
=TEXT([Anniversary],"m/d")
This is to enable sorting on the month. And this works fine except when there is no date entered in the "Anniversary" column.
I have tried to modify the formula in this column to no avail. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/0c9d5ae1-132a-4e02-8a91-c54708919d9a/show-calculated-date-column-as-null-when-there-is-no-date?forum=sharepointgenerallegacy
I do not have access to modifying the code so have to work strictly OOB. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would think you could add an IF statement to verify if the text is null. So...
=IF(ISNULL(TEXT(Anniversary, "m/d")), What we do when null, TEXT(Anniversary,"m/d"))

How to insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type

Guys,
I need insert data in a column with uniqueidefier data type, when i am trying to that getting error.
error message says: "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."
I have data in table a col1,col2,col3,col4 - col3,col4 has datatype as varchar and i am updating table b columns col1,col2 with table a col3 and col4.
Please guide how to do it.

Hi,
Not any String can be convert to uniqueidentifier.
1. you have to make sure u use a value which is fir to be uniqueidentifier
2. Use convert or cast in the insert query in order to convert the string into uniqueidentifier
insert X ... convert(uniqueidentifier, 'string which fit to be convert to uniqueidentifier')
Please post DDL+DML for more specific help
DDL = Data Definition Language. In our case that is, CREATE TABLE statements for your tables and other definitions that are needed to understand your tables structure and there for let us to test and reproduce the problem in our server. Without DDL no one
can execute any query.
How to get DDL: Right click on the table in Object Explorer and select script table as CREATE. Post these create table scripts here.
DML = data manipulation language is a family of queries used for manipulating the data it self like: inserting, deleting and updating data. In our case we need some sample data in order to check the query and get result, so we need some indert query for
sample data.
If you post a "create query" for the tables and "insert query" with some sample, then we could help you without Assuming/Guessing. There is a reason that DDL is generally asked for and expected when discussing query problems - it helps
to identify issues, clarify terminology and prevent incorrect assumptions. Sample data also provides a common point of reference for the discussion. A script that can be used to illustrate or reproduce the issue you have, will encourage others to help.

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

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.

Sql query slowness due to rank and columns with null values:


Sql query slowness due to rank and columns with null values:
I have the following table in database with around 10 millions records:
Declaration:
create table PropertyOwners (
[Key] int not null primary key,
PropertyKey int not null,
BoughtDate DateTime,
OwnerKey int null,
GroupKey int null
go
[Key] is primary key and combination of PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey and GroupKey is unique.
With the following index:
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_PropertyOwners] ON [dbo].[PropertyOwners]
[PropertyKey] ASC,
[BoughtDate] DESC,
[OwnerKey] DESC,
[GroupKey] DESC
go
Description of the case:
For single BoughtDate one property can belong to multiple owners or single group, for single record there can either be OwnerKey or GroupKey but not both so one of them will be null for each record. I am trying to retrieve the data from the table using
following query for the OwnerKey. If there are same property rows for owners and group at the same time than the rows having OwnerKey with be preferred, that is why I am using "OwnerKey desc" in Rank function.
declare @ownerKey int = 40000
select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey
from (
select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey,
RANK() over (partition by PropertyKey order by BoughtDate desc, OwnerKey desc, GroupKey desc) as [Rank]
from PropertyOwners
) as result
where result.[Rank]=1 and result.[OwnerKey]=@ownerKey
It is taking 2-3 seconds to get the records which is too slow, similar time it is taking as I try to get the records using the GroupKey. But when I tried to get the records for the PropertyKey with the same query, it is executing in 10 milliseconds.
May be the slowness is due to as OwnerKey/GroupKey in the table can be null and sql server in unable to index it. I have also tried to use the Indexed view to pre ranked them but I can't use it in my query as Rank function is not supported in indexed
view.
Please note this table is updated once a day and using Sql Server 2008 R2. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

create table #result (PropertyKey int not null, BoughtDate datetime, OwnerKey int null, GroupKey int null, [Rank] int not null)Create index idx ON #result(OwnerKey ,rnk)
insert into #result(PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey, [Rank])
select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey,
RANK() over (partition by PropertyKey order by BoughtDate desc, OwnerKey desc, GroupKey desc) as [Rank]
from PropertyOwners
go
declare @ownerKey int = 1
select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey
from #result as result
where result.[Rank]=1
and result.[OwnerKey]=@ownerKey
go

I am having trouble getting a numbers spreadsheet to hold different formats in the same column. A column with a date formatted heading will not convert to $ for the cells below.   Any suggestions would help.

Hi Wayne,
Thank you for this response. I have tried this but when I start enterring $ amounts some, such as $6.00, go in OK others such as $4.00 appear as a date ie 4 Oct 12.

Reports generated with null data

Hi,
I setup a role which has read access to all records under different tab corretly. However, the reports are displayed with null data. Any idea?
Thanks VK

Hi Bobb,
"Role-Based Can Read All Records" equal to No in my configuration. Requirement is not to allow report creation on others data.
So, if I make it Yes, then they can access all data in CRMOD and create report. Please let me know if my understanding is correct.
Thanks VK

Show all Columns with datatype = date

Is it possible to select all columns with datatype = date in the Repository.
We like to cast it like dd.mm.yyyy.
Regards,
Stefan

Wouldn't it be easier to do it in the presentation services rather than the .rpd?
Update: anyways, if you wanna be nasty, use something like this:
CONCAT( CAST ( DAYOFMONTH("Siebel Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_Incident (W_INCIDENT_D)"."CLOSED_DATE") AS VARCHAR ( 2 )), CONCAT('.', CONCAT( CAST ( EXTRACT( MONTH FROM "Siebel Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_Incident (W_INCIDENT_D)"."CLOSED_DATE") AS VARCHAR ( 2 )), CONCAT('.', CAST ( EXTRACT( YEAR FROM "Siebel Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_Incident (W_INCIDENT_D)"."CLOSED_DATE") AS VARCHAR ( 4 ))))))

How to take the Average of a DATEDIFF column with NULL values?

I am building an SSRS report that can display the average of a calculated datediff column in dd/hh/mm format with the following formula:
=Avg(IIF(Fields!LastCorrectedDate.Value is nothing,0, DATEDIFF("n",cdate(Fields!LastCorrectedDate.Value),cdate(Fields!
LastSignDate.Value)) \(60*24) & ":" & DATEDIFF("n",cdate(Fields!LastCorrectedDate.Value),cdate(Fields!
LastSignDate.Value)) mod (60*24)\60 & ":" & DATEDIFF("n",cdate(Fields!LastCorrectedDate.Value),cdate(Fields!
LastSignDate.Value)) mod (60*24) - (((DATEDIFF("n",cdate(Fields!LastCorrectedDate.Value),cdate(Fields!
LastSignDate.Value)) mod (60*24))\60)*60) ))
SSRS does not raise any errors with the formula and I have used the same formula for other columns without issue. I have noticed that this column includes null values which I think may be the problem. When the reports runs, it returns #ERROR on the column
but does not give a reason why. I am using SSRS report builder with visual basic logic as opposed to embedding SQL. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi No Ragrets,
According to your description, you want to calculate the average for the date time difference. Right?
In Reporting Services, Avg() function is only available for numeric values. In this scenario, the DateDiff() function to calculate the minutes difference will return a number. So we can do average calculation based on the return values first. Then we format
it as a time. We have tested this case in our local environment. Please try the following expression:
=floor(avg(DateDiff("n",Fields!StartDate.Value,Fields!EndDate.Value))) \(24*60) &":"&
floor(avg(DateDiff("n",Fields!StartDate.Value,Fields!EndDate.Value))/60 mod 24 )&":"&
floor(avg(DateDiff("n",Fields!StartDate.Value,Fields!EndDate.Value))) mod 60
The result looks like below:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Calculated Column with simple math for price comparisons

Hi all,
I want to calculate a price difference from today's price versus the price of 5 days ago.
Please help me with a best practice for that. Is the use of calculated column in a calculation view the right approach? How can the price field of 5 days ago be addressed? Ideally 5 should be a constant which should be able to be changed to 6 or 7 for further simulations.
Thanks for any help.
Guenther

Hi Patter ,
For the above requirement we don't need a calculation view to be created. Check the code below, I am re creating the scenario with an INNER JOIN.
CREATE COLUMN TABLE "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" (ID INTEGER,DATES DATE,PRICE INTEGER);
INSERT INTO "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" VALUES ( 1 , '2014-03-10',50);
    INSERT INTO "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" VALUES ( 1 , '2014-03-15',50);
    INSERT INTO "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" VALUES ( 1 , '2014-03-25',100);
    INSERT INTO "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" VALUES ( 1 , '2014-03-20',80);
    INSERT INTO "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" VALUES ( 1 , '2014-03-30',75);
    INSERT INTO "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" VALUES ( 1 , '2014-04-04',150);
    INSERT INTO "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" VALUES ( 1 , '2014-04-9',450);
select A.DATES,
       A.PRICE,
      ( B.PRICE - A.PRICE )
       from "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" A
       INNER JOIN "METALS_ONE_GEN"."TEST_TAB" B
       ON
    B.DATES = ADD_DAYS(A."DATES",5) ;
Looks like, the JOIN operation is more optimized than the Calculation view in this case . Depends on the data , JOIN type may very .

How to add custom columns with BO data from GP to UWL

Hi
We have CE 7.1 in our project UWL taskitems only have GP workflow tasks.
In UWL we can see that by default there are standard columns but now we need to add custom columns with data from ours BO associated to process instance
For that we need to develop one custom connector for UWL where we can retrieve the values from custom conenctor to UWL.
Currently our NWDS 7.1 does not have plugins for UWL Connector can anybody tell me where can I download this plugins?

Cross Tab Report...Calculated Column shows NULL

Hi there
I have one calculated field which is based on some calculation when I run my report in Discoverer Desktop I can see the 0 in NULL values in all rows.
But when I run this report in Discoverer Plus/Discoverer Viewer it shows me Null for some values or some values I can see the zeros.
I have checked the WorkBooks options its all set to 0.0.
1)
Edit---> WorkSheet Properties ---CrossTab Format ---Show Null values as 0.0
2)
Tools---> Options---> Sheet--->Show Null values as 0.0
3)
I have settings in Pref.txt which means Some reports I want to see the NULL values...
Pref.txt
NullValue = "NULL"
Do you have any idea..
Thanks
ASIM

Well, I don't really have an idea what is happening, but i have a solution to hide nulls.
You can create an exception on the columns.
when column_name = Null then change the forecolor to match with the backcolor.
This will make the text and box of same color and will hide nulls.
Cheers :)

Gantt chart with null dates

Hi,
Kylie discovered here that you couldn't have null dates in the project gantt query
APEX 4.0.2 Project Gantt Chart - Error Code: 2002 Message: Empty input
As Valentina suggested, I found the actual dates are mandatory, while the chart tolerates missing planned dates - which is a complete reversal of what actual project data would have.
baseline project gantt with parent-child relationship
What I found though is if some planned dates are missing, the generated XML seems to default with data from previous rows.
As detailed in this screenshot, my red lines indicate missing from/to dates (actual data also shown underneath chart)

Is this a bug?
Is there a workaround - can I supply my own XML to hopefully override what is being generated?

Hi Ahmed
Thank you for your reply.
The time scales in Gantt chart specifically shows the year, month and weeks from the start date of project definition or basic start of WBS.
Since it is not a decided project, the Gantt chart need to show 0, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week etc.
The actual schedule from PD start date can be produced on actual initiation of project.
It means, i am looking for having Gantt chart for duration and not for specific start and finish dates.
warm regards

Calculated Column with Null date end result needs to be text.
