Crosstab - Quarterly Date Range Column - Need to Print 1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr,etc

I am using Crystal 2008.
I have a column in a cross tab that pulls from a date field. In the crosstab expert, in the group options for the column, I have indicated to sort in a specific order, by quarter. In the specified order tab, I have created the orders for 1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr, 3rd Qtr, and 4th Qtr.
However, the colum heatding prints with the the dates of 01/2010, 04/2010, 07/2010, and 10/2010 instead of 1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr, 3rd Qtr and 4th Qtr.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The date in the column (which is the only column) is a date field MM/DD/YYYY. The column name use to print correctly (1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr, 3rd Qtr, 4th Qtr) and now it suddenly started printing 01/2010, 04/2010, 07/2010, 10/2010. In the crosstab expert, I have the date field in the column section and under group options, I have set it to print in a specified order. In the specified order tab, I added named groups for each quarter. When defining the named groups, each group was set to look at the date field for the correct quarter. For example, the name group "Qtr 1" is defined as "in the period " "Calender1stQtr". That is what is in the drop-down boxes for me to choose when defining the named groups.
This data is correct. It is pulling data and putting the information in the correct columns. It is just the heading that will no longer print in the format I want. This report has been available for some time and it has always worked correctly. We have not modified or upgraded the Crystal product, so I'm not understanding why it won't still work the same way without having to try to create other formulas. The named group section has the criteria I need in the drop down boxes.

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.

Date Range Column Selection

Hi world,
I've encountered rather weird behavior with Numbers 2.0.3 (iWork '09, update 3 or whatever they've called it). When using the AVERAGEIFS() function, when I select a range of dates to use as a conditional, the range also selects the header cell. All the rest of my ranges (of text and numbers) do not include the header cell. Is this by some kind of design (that I'm not getting) or have I discovered a bug?
Here is a file that demonstrates this:
http://files.me.com/link.dupont/6wx2xe.numbers.zip

Hello
Most of the time, it's useful to write formulas matching the application's required syntax which is:
AVERAGEIFS(avg-values, *test-values, condition*, test-values…, condition… )
In your formula you wrote:
avg-values: Data::B +is a range (the column A in table Data)+
I don't know how you may hope to get an average of city names !
test-values: A2 +is a single cell+
condition: MONTHNAME(MONTH(Data::A)) +this is not a condition and the fonctions can't apply to a range+
test-values: B1 +is a cell (must be a range)+
condition: Data::C +is a range (the column C in table Data but it's not a condition)+
Here:
in Data column D the formula is:
=MONTHNAME(MONTH(A))
in Table 2 :: B2 the formula is:
=AVERAGEIFS(Data::C,Data::D,"="&B$1,Data::B,"="&$A)

Populate dates within the date range columns in a table

Hi ,
I have a Students table with StudentID, StartDate and EndDate. For one of the requirements, I need to populate all the dates within and includeing the StartDate and EndDate for all the students. Please find the DDL for the source table samples and also below
samples of Source table columns and how the output should be.
create table #Students (ID int,startdate date,Enddate date)
insert into #Students values (1000, '2014-01-01',
'2014-01-10')
insert into #Students values (1000, '2014-02-22',
'2014-02-28')
insert into #Students values (1001, '2013-07-01',
'2013-07-12')
insert into #Students values (1001, '2013-08-01',
'2013-08-03')
insert into #Students values (1001, '2014-04-01',
'2014-04-05')
--select * from #Students order by id,startdate
--drop table #students
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi vskindia,
A recursive way to achieve the expected output.
create table #Students (ID int,startdate date,Enddate date)
insert into #Students values (1000, '2014-01-01',
'2014-01-10')
insert into #Students values (1000, '2014-02-22',
'2014-02-28')
insert into #Students values (1001, '2013-07-01',
'2013-07-12')
insert into #Students values (1001, '2013-08-01',
'2013-08-03')
insert into #Students values (1001, '2014-04-01',
'2014-04-05')
;WITH cte AS
SELECT ID,startdate,Enddate FROM #Students
UNION ALL
SELECT ID,DATEADD(DAY,1,startdate) AS startdate,Enddate FROM cte
WHERE startdate<Enddate
SELECT id,startdate FROM CTE ORDER BY ID,startdate
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Dimention values with date range

Hi All
We have a requirement to have dimensions which have date ranges like
today's
yesterdays
last week
last month etc
When tried to add dimension I can see only string integer and float values
Do anybody knows how to add Date with the range??
TIA
Lalit

The solution we've worked with in the past is to convert the dates to YYYYMMDD and store in the index as Integer values. Thus you can use range filters by converting any incoming values to the same format. Your interface layer will have to written to accommodate those mappings.

Crosstab or Crosstabs with different date ranges not lining up.

I have a crosstab with a dimension (item) in the vertical axis, and different date ranges on the Horizontal (top) axis.
I want to display counts of a measure over specific ranges of time. For instance, count of items sold for weeks 1,2,3,4, horizontally, then count of items sold for months 1,2,3,4 horizontally, next to each other.
Problem is that count rows by item do not line up. Count by week has fewer items, so it has fewer rows than the counts by month. I need it to have the same number of rows, and just show 0 or blank in that row, instead of just not being there. I need all rows to line up by item.
Its like there needs to be an outer join, but I haven't been able to make it work. What am I missing?
Does that make sense?
Any ideas welcome. Thank you!

Wavery,
You are looking to display a grid with a high degree of consistency, regardless of the data present. There is no "single" step capability provided by WebI to achieve this, so it requires creativity on your part. A second data provider (DP) for your report is necessary and can be either a view in your database, a custom SQL, or some folks have even built a derived table in their universe to accommodate. At any rate, there are one of two ways to achieve. If you are familar with SQL and the "union" statement, you would run the basic SQL, then via union, dummy up a second query that has all the requisite columns, but for the measures you would use a value of zero so as not to affect the generated facts. For example, suppose you had a report for a hardware store, and you wanted to track the following items: Nails, Flashlights, and Screws. Your basic query might look like this:
select item,sum(inventory) from inventory_table where item in ('nail','flashlight','screw') group by item
Then your next portion of code:
union select 'Nail',0 union select 'Flashlight',0 union select 'Screw',0
See how the union is providing "dummy" info? To do this in WebI with a second DP, you would not use union, but a separate view perhaps, then in WebI apply Merge Dimensions on the item column (and the equivalent of an outer join).
Thanks,
John

Need help with date range searches for Table Sources in SES

Hi all,
I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
TRACKNUM Varchar2
TITLE Varchar2
SUMMARY CLOB
SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
Timestamp Date
OBSDATE Date
GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 10-MAR-07, 22-SEP-07, 02-FEB-08, etc.)
And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.
Can someone help me figure out how to allow my client to search for specific dated records in a db table using a single column for the date? This is a major requirement and they are anxiously awaiting my solution.
Thanks very much, in advance….

raford,
Thanks very much for your reply. However, from what I've read in the SES Admin Document is that (I think) the date format DD/MM/YYYY pertains only to searches on "file system" sources (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.). We have 3 file system sources among our 25 total sources. The remaining 22 sources are all TABLE or DATABASE sources. The DBA here has done a great job getting the data standardized using the typical/default Oracle DATE type format in our TABLE sources (DD-MON-YY). Our tables have anywhere from 1500 rows to 2 million rows.
I tested your theory that the dates we are entering are being changed to Strings behind the scenes and on the Advanced Page, searched for results using OBSDATE equals 01/02/2007 in an attempt to find data that I know for certain to be in the mapped OBSDATE table column as 01-FEB-07. My result set contained data that had an OBSDATE of 03-MAR-07 and none containing 01-FEB-07.
Here is the big issue...in order for my client to fulfill his primary mission, one of the top 5 requirements is that he/she be able to find specific table rows that are contain a specific date or range of dates.
thanks very much!

Need to create a report to show values for a particular date range

I have to create a report, out of which I need two columns : << Customer Value Variance and Churn Score Variance >> to show values only for a custom date range, which will be entered via a dashboard prompt.
These generic date columns are not present and cannot be added. I have to make use of Pres variables
What I have currently done is:
1) Created a prompt with 2 different date columns and passing those values into variables vStartDate and vEndDate. (I don't actually need those 2 column which I have selelcted, but I have taken those so that I can prompt the values in calendar format and pass onto the variables)
2) Created report with necessary columns, with 2 extra columns (hidden) as vStart Date Column and vEnd Date Column which take the values from the presentation variables defined in the prompt. I have created these columns as then I can reference these in the two required columns if necessary.
I am already facing error in report after doing this and I am confused how to proceed. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Yes, but it only has one generic Date column, no start date and end date. I can't use that twice in the prompt. Although I can specify it to be 'between', but I'm not sure I can pass values to both variables like that.
Currently I have used Campaign Start Date and Campaign End Date to enter values in calender format to the variables.

Document printing ignoring posting date range

I am in Banking/Document Printing and selected my bank account,
doc type = checks for payment,
print checks = to be printed.
Posting date from/to fields = 2/1/09 - 2/28/09.
I click the OK button and the results show me 2 checks with 3/13/09 posting dates. I only have these 2 checks iin my test db, but I was testing the february date range to verify it would exclude them from the results as it should.
Why are my 2 march checks showing in the results when my posting dates are only for February?

This date has not relation to your posting date.
The 03/13 is the check date. Your transactions are still from your February date range.
You created the checks today and a check needs to have a date on it and this 03/13 is the date that will be printed on the check
By default the date you process the checks will be the date check date.
Posting Date is nothing but the date the transaction / JE is posted on.

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.

Date range related query needed

I have table 'ratemast' with following columns and data
begindate      enddate           rate1
01-12-2006      10-12-2006     750.00
11-12-2006      25-12-2006     950.00
26-12-2006      02-03-2007     1500.00
the data in begindate and enddate may fall between any date range.
it may be for a week or for a month or even more than that.
i need a query to do the following:
my query will have begindate and enddate for any date range which is not defined in a single row of ratemast.
I need to pick indiviudal date and its respective rate and sum them and it should be divided by number of days.
eg:- if begindate: 09-12-2006 enddate: 13-12-2006
result should be : (750+750+950+950+950)/5
Please help.

Need to print sheet of multiple identical labels from one data record

Post Author: mhamill
CA Forum: General
I need to print 18 labels on a sheet 3 columns x 6 rows of the SAME LABEL based on a single data record,
I've got the label size all set but can only find a way to produce 1 label if I only have 1 record in the data.
Is there a repeat or other function which will let me do this similar to the MS WORD Repeat label functionality?
ThanksMike

Try replicatestring function. You might have to use chrw(13) for carriage returns to make it go to the end of the label before printing the next one.

Need help to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range.

I am trying to develop a query in MS Access 2010 to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range. The tables are contained in Access. The reason
the tables are contained in access because they are imported from different ODBC warehouses and the data is formatted for uniformity. I believe this cannot be developed using MS Visual Query Designer. I think writing a query in SQL would be suiting this project.
ABCPART links to XYZPART. ABCSERIAL links to XYZSERIAL. ABCDATE links to (between) XYZDATE1 and ZYZDATE2.

Thank you for the looking at the post. The actual table names are rather ambiguous. I renamed them so it would make more sense. I will explain more and give the actual names. What I do not have is the actual data in the table. That is something I don't have
on this computer. There are no "Null" fields in either of the tables.
This table has many orders (MSORDER) that need to match one order (GLORDER) in GLORDR. This is based on MSPART joined to GLPART, MSSERIAL joined to GLSERIAL, and MSOPNDATE joined if it falls between GLSTARTDATE and GLENDDATE.

This is the SQL minus the between date join.
SELECT GLORDR.GLORDER, MSORDR.MSORDER, GLORDR.GLSTARTDATE, GLORDR.GLENDDATE, MSORDR.MSOPNDATE
FROM GLORDR INNER JOIN MSORDR ON (GLORDR.GLSERIAL = MSORDR.MSSERIAL) AND (GLORDR.GLPART = MSORDR.MSPART);

HT4946 I need to print & back-up a series of abusive/threatening SMS (on iphone 5c) for my solicitor. Is there a way to do this which will show the time, date & sender info? How can I preserve (full) SMS data as evidence for future court proceedings?

Does anyone know how to access sms text messages from iphone 5c backup from icloud or itunes? Apparently SMS can be restored so data I need must be stored in backup. I need to print a series of abusive/threatening SMS messages received on my iphone 5c from one sender. I need the time, date & whatever data is stored about source/sender of messages, as well as content. How can I access this data to create a chronological record of the abusive SMS messages and can I preserve the iphone's message log specifically-- so I can access records of these texts without having to restore a back-up? I need to do this to provide evidence for my solicitor and preserve that evidence for future court proceedings, thank you.

I want to print a calendar by specifying the date range

I want to be able to print from ICal in a 4 week block but not by month. Our calendar is updated regularly and I want to be able to print out the forward 4 weeks, not this month which gives me dates already past.
And I do not want to print out 4 individual weeks.
I know how to print Month and Week but these don't do it for me.
How can I specify a date range?
Cheers
Rusty
