Date Format Display on report

Is there a way to set a custom date format on a report column? I am trying to use a format mask and it doesn't appear to be working. Maybe someone can spot my mistake:
Query: Hours Worked = Clock_IN - Clock_OUT
Format mask for Clock In/Clock Out - DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI (from list)
Format mask for Hours Worked column: HH:MI (hand typed)
actual display (Timecard ID is edit link):
Timecard     Employee     Vehicle     Clock IN     Clock OUT     Hours Worked
6     20044     26045     30-JUN-2006 13:28     30-JUN-2006 13:31     +000000000 00:03:43.000000
28     20044     144     06-JUL-2006 10:11     06-JUL-2006 10:39     +000000000 00:28:43.000000
48     20044     144     07-JUL-2006 09:03     07-JUL-2006 16:30     +000000000 07:27:50.000000
108     20044     26045     18-JUL-2006 15:35
128     20044     144     19-JUL-2006 14:57     19-JUL-2006 15:02     +000000000 00:05:06.000000

Long Date Format in Crystal Reports

Good evening Crystal Reports Experts:
I have the following trouble, when displaying the long date format ex. 1, March, 1999, my print layout requires that all the format is written in caps, but i have been unable to manipulate the month of the date in order that instead of March the print layout would display MARCH.
If anyone could help me to manage that all letters of the month read in CAPS i would appreciate it very much.
Thank in advance.

The following formula should work for you...
UPPERCASE(ToText({TableName.FieldName}, "d, MMMM, yyyy"))
It's Don's suggestion... Without the searching.

Date format mask in report

I'm having difficulty using a format mask on a DATE field in a report. The format mask is 'HH24:MI:SS'; however, when the date field is displayed in the report it shows up as '00:00:00'. I know that the DATE field in the database is correct because it displays correctly when I do an SQL query. Any suggestions?

Ken,
Try TO_CHAR(Date_Field, 'HH24:MI:SS') with alias in you report based on SQL Query.

Data Wrap and data Format in OBIEE Reports

Hi
When we select few columns , the data is getting wrapped. To avoid this we had chosen "Plain Text (Without broken spaces)" available in the data format tab and it resulted in unwrapped data.But we are unable to get the same format as that of database.
Please , suggest us how can we get the same dataformat for the columns similar to the database format in reports .
Thanks.

Hi
Our requirement is not to display multiple column values in the same cell in OBIEE .
As mentioned earlier we do have a column named " Comments" . This column in database contains the data in the following format :
- Statement 1
- Statement 2
- Statement 3
- Statement 4
FOLLOW-UP:
- Statement 5
- Statement 6.
- Statement 7
Now when we create a report with this column , the data for this column in the report is as follows :
- Statement 1 - Statement 2 - Statement 3 - Statement 4 FOLLOW-UP: - Statement 5 - Statement 6 - Statement 7 .
But we do have a requirement where the dataformat for this column in the report should be same as that of the database ie., the data displayed under this column in the report should be same as it is in database as follows :
- Statement 1
- Statement 2
- Statement 3
- Statement 4
FOLLOW-UP:
- Statement 5
- Statement 6.
- Statement 7
BUT NOT AS
- Statement 1 - Statement 2 - Statement 3 - Statement 4 FOLLOW-UP: - Statement 5 - Statement 6 - Statement 7 .
Thanks.

Complete data not displayed in Report

Hi forum,
I have a cube based on data source 0FI_AR_4,which is updated via an ODS.I have created a query for ageging analysis.The query uses Referrence number ( invoice number) to display the receivables of various customers and number of days from due date.
To my surprise many invoice numbers are not being displayed in the query, but when i restrict the query to the invoice numbers which are not being displayed the report generated is able to display all the doccuments.
I have checked the data in the cube and all the invoice numbers are flowing well fro R/3.
My only way of saying thanks to the people who solve the issue or provide helpful answers is by assigining points.
Regds
Suhel

hello
This is simple problem
The result the query fetches is not able to display in the number of cells provided in the excel sheet
So when you restrict the data, the query is able to show all the data fetched by accomadating in the columns available in the excel.
Here in your case , there are not enough columns in the excel sheet to display all data

Date format in ALV report

Hi all,
I want to change date format in ALV list that is displayed in wrong format.
I use this piece of code:
CALL METHOD r_alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      i_structure_name = 'ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA'
      is_layout        = gs_layout
    CHANGING
      it_outtab        = it_stanja
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS           = 4.
Problematic field of structure ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA is defined like this:
VRIJEDI_DO     ZEVO_VRIJEDI_DO     DATS     8
Now, date is displayed like this: 09.20.3009 insted it should be like this: 30.09.2009.
How can I change this? Thanks.

The data is internally stored in an external format. Go back to the program that filled this field, there is something missing there.
Look at FM like
- CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT
- CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_INPUT
You only keep date in external format when filling a BDC, for most other input mode (BAPI and the like) data must be converted to internal format.

HI Kishore
Thanks for your reply i checked all the things but with no success. do think there could be any other place where i should check .
1. nqsconfig date format
its same for both the two installations
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
" hw i can check this
finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html

Date format in Discovere Reports

We have created a workbook with a parameter which is supposed to show up an LOV for a parameter in the MON-RR format. Now this LOV shows up
correctly in the Discoverer Desktop edition as MON-RR format, but when we view
the same in Discoverer Viewer it shows up as DD-MON-RRRR.
Earlier we had got a partial resolution on this issue (TAR 3891425.996), wherein by changing the ICX
profile value in Oracle Applications, we are able to set the date mask to MON-R
R.
But now the above profile applies to all the reports and all the dates show up as MON-RR, whereas we want to continue showing the date in DD-MON-RRRR forma
t in some of the reports.
How can this be achieved ?

HI Kishore

Date Format in Portal Report

Hi,
I have created a SQL Report with following select statement. Looks like portal has default format mask for date type as 'DD-MM-YY'.
If I put DD-MM-YYYY or DD-MM-RRRR in Format Mask field in Column Formatting screen, the reports generates 04-10-0002 . It should
be 04-10-2002.
select process_id, last_update_date
from obm
where process_id like (:process_id)
I tried to use the to_char function as following. But it errors ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error. Even though it works fine in
my sqlplus session.
select process_id, to_char(last_update_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY')
from obm
where process_id like (:process_id)
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using? The error with to_char comes in 30984. This is a bug. The bug no is 2567445. A one-off has been issued. Please look in metalink for it. And for the date formatting in the column formatting section the formatting should work fine. Please check the data in your table.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Date format in BW report

Hi All,
When i execute a query in BW 3.5, the date format is displayed as dd.mm.yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy.
for some values it is coming in dd/mm/yyyy and for some values it is displaying as dd.mm.yyyy in the same query.

This is determined by your personal configuration setting for date format. On the SAP GUI Easy Access menus at the top of the screen, go to System --> User Profile --> Own Data, then choose the Defaults tab and change the setting for Date Format to "DD/MM/YYYY".
There is probably a "global" setting for this in the IMG, as well.
Hope this helps...

Date formatting on updateable report

I have an updateable report with a date column. I would like the user to be able to use mm/dd/rrrr format.
Is this possible?
Thanks

when you use our tabular form wizard to generate a tabular form, you're somewhat limited in what you can do to the data that's being selected out of your table. it's currently set up that way because we do some optimistic locking stuff behind the scenes to maintain your data integrity for you. there might be other ways to deal with your specific request, but this approach seems easiest to me assuming that changing your db's default date format isn't an option:
put html db pl/sql processes on both your page rendering and page submission sections that set your nls_date_format for each of those db sessions. so both of your new html db processes would be of type "PL/SQL Anonymous Block". one would fire with a process point of "On Load - Before Header" and the other would fire "On Submit - Before Computations and Validations". both processes would look like...
begin
execute immediate 'alter session set nls_date_format = ''mm/dd/rrrr''';
end;
...and after those two changes, your tablular form should handle dates in the mm/dd/rrrr format you're looking for.
hope this helps,
raj
