Calculated Date Range in Lookup Column

I want to have a lookup column on a list called Report Week. The report week is a date range between Sun and Sat. I could easily make a column of ranges in a seperate list and then use it as a lookup but I am hoping for something more
elegant. What I envision is the user selecting the Date Range lookup in a list item and the date ranges shown are the previous, current and upcoming weeks. So the dropdown list would look like this:
09/20/14 - 09/26/14
09/27/14 - 10/03/14
10/04/14 - 10/10/14
Can this be done w/out using .NET? Thanks in advance.

more or less, you need three calculated columns (well, you may be able to do it in just the one, but it'll be obnoxious to write the formulas)...
- start date
=> DateAdd([date field], 0 - (dayofweek([datefield]))
basically, subtract the day of week from the reference date... this should give you the sunday that starts the week
- end date
=> DateAdd([date field], 7 - (dayofweek([datefield]))
basically the same, except this adds the remaining number of days in the week, to give you the saturday that ends the week
- range (description)
=> concatenate([start date], " - ", [end date])
you may need to fiddle with the formulas a little bit... run them in excel to tweak them.

Is there a way to Insert Data into a Lookup Column Type on a SharePoint List Destination in SSIS?

Greetings.
I have successfully worked out inserting SQL data (2008 R2) into my 2010 SharePoint list (New, Update, Delete) by creating an SSIS Data Flow Task as outlined here:
http://fsugeiger.blogspot.com/2010/01/synchronise-sql-table-with-sharepoint.html
However, the problem I am running into is inserting data into the SharePoint Columns that are "Lookup" column types. I verified that all of the values I am copying from SQL into the SharePoint lookup column exist in the customn list it is pointing to. It
is important to have this column be a lookup column as it links to another custom list that has many more columns of related information.
I have read and re-read the SharePoint SSIS Adapters 2011.docx from
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/ and the only section that seems to apply is this:
"Looking Up Values in a SharePoint List
If you have to look up a value in a SharePoint list, you can use the Lookup transformation in your data flow, and use the SharePoint List source to load the lookup table. You may have to add a Derived Column transformation or a Script component that splits
data in the lookup column on the ";#" delimiter to separate the ID value from the description.
If you are replacing values in your data with the values that you look up in the list, then loading the changed data back into SharePoint, you only have to include the ID from the lookup column. SharePoint ignores the description if you include it."
I am not sure if the above statement means that I should be passing the assocaited ID's other than the actual data into the SharePoint List destination. If that is the case, that will not really work as the lookup contains hundreds of rows. Not too mention
I have several of these lookup column types pointing to several different lists.
Any guidance in how I can put data into a SharePoint Lookup column type via Data Flow Task would be so much appreaciated.
Thank you.
My errors are:
Error: 0x0 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination: Error on row ID="1": 0x1 - Unspecified error, such as too many items being updated at once (batch), or an invalid core field value.
Error: 0xC0047062 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination [1903]: Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.PipelineProcessException: Errors detected in this component - see SSIS Errors at Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.SharePointListDestination.ProcessInput(Int32

component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will

I have found a solution to my problem and thought I would share it here in case there are others who are struggling with the above scenario. If you have a better way, I would love to hear about it since my way is a bit tedious.
In a nutshell, in order to have an SSIS package put data from an OLE DB Source into a SharePoint List Destination Lookup Column, you need to pass the ID of the value that is being looked up, not the value that is in the “master” OLE DB source.
Rough explanation, OLE DB Source value for column “Approp” is “4005” --> SQL matches “4005” with the ID in the new lookup table (“4005” = ID “5” as defined in the SharePoint lookup list) --> “5” gets passed into SharePoint List destination lookup
column --> SharePoint displays “4005” and successfully links to the lookup list.
Funny thing (not really), the error(s) outlined in my original post are not related in getting data into a SharePoint Lookup column as I am now successful in getting data into the system but I am still getting the same above error(s). I think it has to do
with the ID column in the SharePoint list destination. What I can’t seem to figure out is why since I am not linking any data to that ID column (at least on new records). I am however linking it on Update and Delete and the errors mentioned above disappear
and things work well.
There are three tasks that need to get done in order to get data from SQL into a SharePoint lookup column assuming you have already set up your SharePoint lookup lists:
1. Create new lookup table(s) in SQL that has the IDs from the SharePoint Lookup list and the values coming from the “master” OLD DB Source. You can see the ID column in SharePoint by toggling it on in a view.
2. Create a SQL command that JOINs all the databases and tables so that the ID is passed and not the value into the SharePoint lookup column
3. Change the “Data access mode” to “SQL Command” instead of the “Table or view” in the OLE DB Source and paste your command into the “SQL command text:” area.
Other helpful info is that you may also need to add additional columns in the new lookup tables in SQL for the scenarios when the data is not unique. You can see this two times in my SQL command example for Units and JobTitles:
SELECT
pps.SSNm,
pps.file_updated,
pps.Employee_id,
/* pps.CheckDistNm,*/
Check_Distribution_id = COALESCE( d.ID, 0 ),
pps.Job_nbr,
pps.SeqNm,
pps.action_eff_dt,
Fund_id = COALESCE( f.id, 0 ),
Appropriation_id = COALESCE( ap.id, 0 ),
ActionCode_id = COALESCE( ac.id, 0 ),
SpecNumber_id = COALESCE( jt.ID, 0 ),
pps.Employee_id,
/* pps.Fund,
pps.Approp,
pps.Unit,*/
Unit_id = COALESCE( u.ID, 0 ),
PosNm,
PosCode,
pps.LastName,
pps.FirstName,
pps.MI
FROM
x_PPS.aReportVw.pps_screens_active AS pps
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DistributionNumbers AS d ON
pps.CheckDistNm = d.Check_Distribution
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Units AS u ON
pps.Fund = u.Fund AND
pps.Approp = u.Approp AND
pps.Unit = u.Unit
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Appropriations AS ap ON
pps.Approp = ap.Approp
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Funds AS f ON
pps.Fund = f.Fund
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ActionCodes AS ac ON
pps.ActionCode = ac.ActionCode

pps.SpecNm = jt.SpecNumber AND
pps.JurisClass = jt.JurisClass

Help - Date Range from a column

I have a column in one of my tables that contains the birthdate of a person and it's format is like this:
YYYYMMDD
sample ( 19740226 )
I need to find all the people who are between 35-45 years old from this date: 20080529
What would be the best way to do this, sorry new to date manipulation, thanks a lot of your help ahead of time.

Hi,
MONTHS_BETWEEN and TO_DATE are built-in functions. Like all built-in functions, you can learn about them by reading the SQL Language manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/index.htm
MONTHS_BETWEEN returns an "age" in months. In this case, it's more convenient to think in terms of years, so I divided the number of months by 12 to get the number of years.
I assumed table_name.column_name was a string in YYYYMMDD format, such as '19701231'. If any row has a value (NULLs are okay) that is not in this format, you will get a run-time error. For example, if a short string, like '197012', is encountered, you'll get the ORA_01840 error.
Apparently, that column is not in that format, at least not always. How you can get the information you need depends on exactly what is in that column. Find out what datatype it is (DATE, NUMBER, VARCHAR2), and, if it is not a DATE, post some samples of actual values.

Site lookup columns that contain a list with lookup columns help needed

Here is the theoretical scenario,
I have a list called Shirts. The list contains name,color, and size columns.
I have a list called Pants This list contains name, color and size columns as well.
These two lists are contained at the root level of the site. I created site lookup columns for these two lists and used the name, color and size columns as additional fields on both lookup columns. Lets call these lkupPants and lkupShirts.
On a sub site I have a list called people. It contains name,date,lkupPants and lkupShirts columns.
The list looks something like this is dataview:
Name Date lkupPantsName lkupPantsColor lkupPantsSize lkupShirtName lkupShirtColor lkupShirtSize
This is the behavior I expected. The additional columns selected in the site lookup columns appear in the list.
I now create another site lookup column this one is based on the list called people at this subsite level. When creating the site lookup column, the data from lkupPants and lkupShirts are not available.
How can one create a lookup column that contains list data and any lookup columns contained in the list as additional fields.
If anyone can see where I am going with this, can they provide another means to accomplish what I am trying to do?
fr0stsp1re

create additional columns in people list. look up values are available in the workflow so populate the additional columns with the values you need. this will allow you to create another look up column based on this list and all the fields needed.
just a thought.

Calculate date previous to given date range

i have a date range in zproggram as user input but in my calculation i want one day prior date to date-high for eg
user input is 1.08.2006 to 4.08.2006 but i need for further calculation date range as 1.08.2006 to 3.08.2006. can anybody help please . points will be given

Hi Sarabjit,
This is very simple..
But the place where you add this code matters. You can not add this to INITIALIZATION event as the user will change the value after this..
You cannot add this code to AT SELECTION-SCREEN events too.. as the user can execute them by pressing enter and then again can change the value.
You can add this code in START-OF-SELECTION event.
If your select option is s_date. A select option is an internal table. It has a sturcture as below:
Sign --> 1 Character --> I (Include), E(Exclude)
Option --> 2 Character --> EQ, BT, NE, LT, GT etc..
low --> Low value --> 8 char in this case
High --> High Value --> 8 char in this case
So, at the run time, you will have a record as:
I BT 20070827 20070831
Now, you want that the high value should be 1 day before..
Code like this..
IF NOT s_date[] IS INITIAL.
LOOP AT s_date.
IF NOT s_date-high IS INITIAL.
s_date-high = s_date-high - 1.
MODIFY s_date.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

Using a sparse lookup with a date range?

Hey all,
I have created a table (Benchmark_Lookup) that contains the following columns:
start_date, end_date, section, benchmark
I then have numerous logical tables (Eg Business Growth) that will all have a new logical column performing a sparse lookup on the above table to retrieve it's benchmark value.
In the lookup table, I have multiple rows for the same section with different benchmarks differentiated by the date range that they were in effect.
I have worked out how to perform this lookup using the following:
lookup(SPARSE "bla".Benchmark_lookup"."Benchmark" ,0, "bla"."Business_Growth"."section")
Unfortunately, the above is now bringing back duplicates as it's not working out what date range to select from.
I have joined the lookup table (using a physical join) to my Time dimension by saying "business_date >= start_date and business_date <= end_Date" but that doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Neither of these examples help that much.
I understand how the lookup function works but what happens if the lookup table has the following two rows:
EFFECTIVE_FROM     EFFECTIVE_TO     SECTION     SCORE
01/Jan/1900                 30/Jun/2013           test              1
01/Jul/2013                  06/Jun/2079           test              2
I need to use the following lookup rules:
Business_Date >= Effective_From
Business_Date <= Effective_To
Section = 'Test'
The lookup should therefore only ever return one row as the date is used to find the appropriate range.

How do I limit the view of a date lookup column to = [Today]?

I have a list that has a column that contains various event dates that I use in another list for a lookup column. As this list gets longer over time, I want to restrict the lookup/dropdown list to only reflect dates =>[Today].
How can I do that in SharePoint Foundations 2013?
Thanks!

Hi,
Per my knowledge, the OOB not provide a method to achieve your requirement. We can use jQuery to achieve it.

REST API - Can't expand Title of lookup columns "System.ArgumentException : Value does not fall within the expected range"

I have a list that has more than 12 columns of type lookup with more than 5000 items and I am using a date field as an indexed column so I can restrict the results to meet the list view threshold. I am also using $select to restrict the columns to
meet the lookup column threshold.
If I run the query below it all works as expected:
_api/web/Lists/MyList/items/?$Filter=Created gt '2015-03-10T05:00:00.000Z' and Created lt '2015-03-17T18:25:00.712Z'&$select=Lookup1/Id&$expand=Lookup1
If I run this query it does not work:
_api/web/Lists/MyList/items/?$Filter=Created gt '2015-03-10T05:00:00.000Z' and Created lt '2015-03-17T18:25:00.712Z'&$select=Lookup1/Title&$expand=Lookup1
Error:
<m:error xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">
<m:code>-2147024809, System.ArgumentException</m:code>
<m:message xml:lang="en-US">Value does not fall within the expected range.</m:message>
</m:error>
The lookup column "Lookup1" is using Title as the column's information and this should be working. What is interesting is that changing the lookup threshold has no effect on this but raising the list item view limit does make it work. The
date range is selecting less than 5000 items. So what am I missing here? I just want the Title for the lookup column and my query has about 10 items in it.

Looking through the logs the error is thrown due to the following error messages:

The very first message states that it is unable to add join related fields, what could be the possible cause of this? As you can see rather than specifying a date range which I know contains less than 5000 items, even filtering based on ID gives the
same result.

Lookup column in calculated column formula

I have a Lookup column(Discountfirst) which has Number.
I also have another Calculated column(Finaldate) with Resulttype DateTime.
One more column(DateofReceipt) in Date.
My Calculated column formula looks like this
=(DateofReceipt)+(Discountfirst).
I get an error
"One or more column references are not allowed, because the columns are defined as a data type that is not supported in formulas".
I googled and came to know I can't use Lookup Column in Calculated field.
Any suggestion how can do this ?

This can't be done using calculated columns because calculated columns can only be used for columns on the same list.
Using SharePoint Designer Workflows you can just use Create List Item and Update List Item actions so that whenever a user adds a value the item will be added in another list's column which contains the previous amounts already.

Interactive Column Chart w/Sliding Date Range?

I've created a stacked column chart in Numbers 3.0. It displays stacked data for a one week period using seven columns, one for each weekday. Is it possible to make an interactive version of this chart that would still display all seven stacked columns, but allow me to use a slider control to adjust the date range? Ideally I'd like the slider to adjust the date range one day at a time, so I have a rolling 7 day view of my data.
Any suggestions?

Data is the original data table.
Set Start is a four cell table with A2 set as a Slider, range 1 - 100, and the formula below in B2:
B2: =OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,A,0)
Cell B2 is for display only. It offers live feedback to the user while setting the beginning date for the chart, but is not used in the calculations in For Chart.
For Chart is a Summary table containing the headers shown.
There is one formula in this table, entered in A2, then filled right to D2, and down to row 8:
A2: =OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-2+Set Start :: $A$2,COLUMN()-1)
The chart draws its information from For Chart. Here is a second chart image using the same data table. The only change is that the user has reset the slider to a larger value. The start date on this chart is the same as the last date on the one above.

How to prompt date range for a single column in reports

Hi All,
I am having a prompt which shows from date and to date, both these columns will come from day column of calendar .We want that our report values should be between the from date and to date.Can someone tell me how can this be achieved.Because if we build a report we will pull day column from calendar and say its prompted.How can we get the condition that day clumn should be between from date and to date of prompt.
Thanks and Regards,
Amrit

Hi vineet,
Thanks for your reply
I am having one prompt where we will have two columns from date and to date, both these columns are coming from same column called day in mth_calendar.I am having 1 report where the date range should lie between from date and to date of prompt.In this case should I use your second suggestion or the first one.

Calculating fractions of hours from time date range

Hello friends,
I'm using sql server 2008 r2 and I have a table called attendance with the following fields
attendance_no    int
attendance_date    date
attendance_timein    time(7)
attendance_timeout    time(7)
emp_id    int
and another table called employee with the following fields
emp_id int
emp_name varchar(50)
emp_tel varchar(50)
I need to calculate the total minutes worked as well as total hours worked for each employee with in a specified date range and I created the below query which working fine but it is not calculating the fractions of hours, I mean when an employee works
for example 7 and half hours, its showing just 7 hours instead of 7.5 hours.
SELECT a.attendance_date As 'Date',e.emp_id As 'ID',e.emp_name As 'Name',e.emp_tel As 'Telephone',left(a.attendance_timein,8)[Time in],left(a.attendance_timeout,8)[Time out],
   + CAST(DATEDIFF(second, attendance_timein, attendance_timeout) / 60 AS NVARCHAR(50)) As 'Total minutes',
   CAST(DATEDIFF(second,attendance_timein,attendance_timeout) / 60 /60 % 60 AS NVARCHAR(50)) As 'Total hours'
    from attendance a join employee e on e.emp_id=a.emp_id and a.attendance_date between '2014-11-06' and '2014-11-08' and e.emp_tel='65098009'
I would appreciate any help about this.
Thanks in advance
Mohamoud

If I understand correctly, according to
Mohamoud's data sample, there is already Total minutes in the input (the above
table Mohamoud posted)
and all he need is a simple convert to decimal and the divided by 60.
select [Total minutes] / 60.c
Mohamoud,
is that correct?
The result show that you might need some rounding. for example 31/60 is 0.516666 while you show us 0.5
Please clarify if you need rounding and how many characters after the dot you need (this can be done using declaring decimal(x,y), converting, or multipla and using floor function, etc')

Calculating Business Days in a Date Range

I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know a better formula for calculating business days in totals?
I am currently using the formula in https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/701a52c3-6b1e-2b10-21b3-a6e101be1a0f
I tailored to my needs. However, there are still a lot of manual maintenance every year.
2. I have many reports that need the formula. It is very consuming to update the formula in each report. Does anyone know a better way to do it?
I use Crystal XI. 11.0.0.895. We do have a Crystal Enterprise server hosted in another department.

Not sure if this is any simpler but you could save this as a custom function, that way you will have to modify it once a year for the holidays.
numbervar days;
datevar date1 := minimum({?My Parameter});
datevar date2 := maximum({?My Parameter});
days := DateDiff ("d", date1, date2) -
DateDiff ("ww", date1, date2, crSaturday) -
DateDiff ("ww", date1, date2, crSunday); // this will give you the number of business days
// (excluding Saturdays and Sundays) for a given date range.
// then, for each holiday, you can enter lines like this
if date(2008,01,01) in {?My Parameter} then days := days - 1;
// The final tally of DAYS should give you the total business days in a date range.
totext(days,0);
where {?My Parameter} is the date range.

Date range column in SharePoint List?

I have a request to provide a date range in a custom list. Other than providing two Date columns in a custom list, any recommendations on a snazzier way to provide this?
Thanks!
Scott

you will be better off with the two columns.
there aren't any other options built-in... but even though it'd be possible to (custom dev) add a "date range" field, it wouldn't be nearly as useful as you'd like it to be.
you're better off with two columns.
