Calculating a difference between 2 dates

Hi, I'm new to forms.
I have 3 text fields, 2 of them formatted as Dates mm/dd/yyyy.
Text5 and text6
The third text box Text7 I have formatted as a number, no decimals.
I want to find the number of days between text 6 and text5.
I am not sure how to do this in the calculate field.
I am using Acrobat 6.0
Tahnk you

SELECT O.OrderNo,
       VO.Hire_Start_Time,
       VO.Hire_End_Time,
       V.Vehicle_No,
       V.Hire_Rate Rate_per_day,
       (VO.End_Time - VO.Hire_Start_Time) No_of_days,
       (VO.End_Time - VO.Hire_Start_Time) * V.Hire_Rate,
FROM ORDER O, Vehicles_Ordered VO, Vehicles V
WHERE O.Order_No = VO.Order_No
   AND V.Vehicle_No = VO.Vehicle_No
   AND O.Order_No = 3>> I can't seem to make it work.
What exactly do you mean by this? I hope you know that difference in dates is the 'number of days'. Is that what you are looking for? If so, your rate better be: 'Rate per day'.

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

[Urgent] Need help calculating difference between two dates

I'm trying to write a code to display the current day and time, then accept two dates from the user and display the difference between the two dates. To display the current date and time, I've used the SimpleDateFormatter library but I'm having difficulty calculating the difference between two dates. Could someone please help me with this?
Below is my code so far
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class DateFormatter {
     public void displayNow()
          Date todaysDate = new Date();
          SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");
          String formattedDate = formatter.format(todaysDate);
          System.out.println("Today's date and time is: "+formattedDate);
     public void calculateDifference(Date startDate, Date endDate)
          /* This is whre i need help! */
     public static void main(String[] args)
          DateFormatter df = new DateFormatter();
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
          df.displayNow();
          System.out.println("Please enter a date: ");
          String date1 = sc.next();
          System.out.println("Please enter another date: ");
          String date2 = sc.next();
}The methods displayNow() and calculateDifference(Date startDate, Date endDate) are essential and cannot be skipped out.

Dude. I've tried doing assignments under pressure, and it doesn't work. Here's a piece of free advice. Start earlier next time, don't put "urgent" in the title of your post b/c it just pisses people off around here--and is a sure sign of an overdue homework assignment which no one around here likes helping with, and try to ask intelligent questions--don't just say "Help me!"
Of course, it takes some time to learn what the intelligent questions are. You have my sympathy. Try asking questions about how to do a particular task, instead of asking people to tell you what to do. It starts to get easier after a while.
actually dude i started on this on monday.. but there were so many other stuff to do along with this.. and i did try referring up the Calendar utility but it was a bit confusing actually.. it was only after that did i come to this forum.. nor am i very good at Java.. anyhoo thanks for your sympathies :P

Difference between two dates

Hi
I have two date fields in the ODS..Both are characterists
1. Requested delivery date
2. Actual shipment end date.
I would like to create a calculated KF field for the difference between two dates in a query.
How can I accomplish it?

You have to make Expiration data as nav attribute and create a formula variable then only this date can be used in calculations.
refer this How to...for the same

Difference between Posting Date & Baseline date in MIRO

HI,
What is the difference between Posting Date & Baseline date in MIRO?
Regards
Chandan
Edited by: Chandan H N on Dec 14, 2009 11:11 AM

Dear,
Posting Date:
Posting Date in the Document
Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling.
Use
The fiscal year and the period for which an update of the accounts specified in the document or cost elements is made, are derived from the posting date.
When entering documents, the system checks whether the posting date entered is allowed by means of the posting period permitted.
Note
The posting date can differ from both the entry date (day of entry into the system) and the document date (day of creation of the original document).
Baseline Date
Baseline Date for Due Date Calculation
Date to which the periods for the cash discount deadline and the due date for net payment refer. This is the case for line items in open item accounts.
For line items in G/L accounts, the item is due immediately on this date because there are no cash discount specifications.
Procedure
During document entry for open item accounts, the date may be defaulted. For this, a terms of payment key must have been specified in the customer's/vendor's master record for which a default value is requested in the document.
The proposed date can be overwritten.
If the cash discount rates (and days) have not been entered, the baseline date for payment is the same as the due date.
Regards
Utsav

Difference between two date in bex query

Hi all,
I need to do a difference between two date using formula variable processing type customer exit beaucause I must use factory calendar in the formula.
How can I do it?
Can you give me an example of the routine?
Thanks a lot
Gianmarco

Hi,
You can still use the same code to copy it and customize as per your need. All you need to do is to subract the dates using the class: CL_ABAP_TSTMP after converting to timestamp and resulting seconds you convert back to days....Please get help from the developers to do this...
Also, ensure that you write back this difference value to your variable so you get it on the reports for your calculations...
Cheers,
Emmanuel.

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.

Difference between two dates in seconds/milliseconds with Expressions

Hi,
I need to write a query using Expression(Builder) which calculates the difference between two columns (date/timestamps). As of other requirements I am not able to use JPQL, so I tried to create the query with the Expression framework. The difference between the two dates can be calculated with the
ExpressionMath.substract(...)
method. The result is a Date-like object storing the difference between both dates. But how can I cast this difference to a long or something like this with expressions?
Thanks,
Thomas

Date functions are very database dependent, as each database has its own set of functions for processing dates.
The functions are defined in the Expression class, you can try,
truncateDate, roundDate, or datePart

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

As to the data type of the data type of the difference between two date type of datas

Hi,
I have a question about the data type of the difference between two date type of datas.
There are two date type of datas as:
SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME
SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME
I try to use the following SQL Script in Oracle SQL*Plus as:
SELECT CASE
WHEN (SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME - SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME) < '000 01:00:00.000' THEN 'OnTime'
WHEN (SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME - SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME) < '000 01:30:00.000' THEN '60-89 Minutes'
ELSE '3+ Hours'
END
FROM SSHIPMENTS;
The error message of "Invalid Number" for the '000 01:30:00.000' happens.
I don't know if the data type of the interval is wrong.
Many Thanks,
Cathy

SELECT CASE
WHEN (to_char(SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME,'hhmiss') - to_char(SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME,'hh24miss')) < '010000' THEN 'OnTime'
WHEN (to_char(SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME,'hhmiss') - to_char(SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME,'hh24miss'))< '000 01:30:00.000' THEN '60-89 Minutes'
ELSE '3+ Hours'
END
FROM SSHIPMENTS;

Difference between Invoice Date, GL Date and Accounting Date Oracle AP

Hello,
I have a question that might help a lot of people too later.
I tried to run these queries
select aia.INVOICE_ID
from AP_INVOICES_ALL aia, AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL aida
where aia.INVOICE_ID = aida.INVOICE_ID
and aia.INVOICE_DATE <> aida.ACCOUNTING_DATE
select aia.INVOICE_ID
from AP_INVOICES_ALL aia, AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL aida
where aia.INVOICE_ID = aida.INVOICE_ID
and aia.GL_DATE <> aida.ACCOUNTING_DATE
I can see that there are lot of results for these queries, where the Invoice Date is not equal to the Accounting date and the GL_Date of an invoice is not equal to the accounting date in the distributions table.
So, what is the difference between these dates.
And if I had to take the Invoice Accounting document entry date, which date do i have to take for these invoices in AP
Thanks
Bob

Hi
Let me try to explain this with an example.
Suppose I buy some stationary from a vendor and he provides me with a detailed invoice of the goods puchased.
In this case the invoice will always have a date printed on it and this date should ideally be entered in the invoice date at AP_INVOICES_ALL level.
Now suppose the invoice happens to be received by me in february and for some reason I could not capture the invoice in my books in february and made a provision for the liabilities and close the books.
However in march i want to book the invoice say on 10th of march in my books and pay the vendor the amount payable.(I Have to reverse the already provided liability in march to reverse the accounting effect).
In this case my book entry date of invoice is the accounting date i.e. 10 March.
In case of oracle, the accounting is maintained so that the invoice header hits the liability account while the invoice distribution hits the charge account(expense account so to say). And to gain more flexibility oracle provides date in both header and distributions to provide an option of booking liability and charge on different dates..
As per the 11i checks there is no check on any of these dates except that accounting date at header and ditribution level must be in an open AP and GL period.
Thanks
MAV.

Difference between doc date,posting date and invoice date

hi bw guys
can someone give a brief on the difference between doc date,posting date and invoice date.and the invidual definitions
thank you

Hi,
Posting Date: Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling. The posting date can differ from both the entry date and the doc date.
Document Date: The document date is the date on which the original document was issued. Ex: Inv date, Bill date etc.,
Invoice Date : Usually the date when goods are shipped. Payment dates are set relative to the invoice date.
