DATE formula bug

Hello everyone,
As i said in subject, I have a problem with a DATE formula. It's funny I think but it may be a little problem in the future. My date which should be ok is not. Year and month is ok but day is tricky because I have to put an expression after a DAY (-2). If I don't a date is 2 days later from the one that I want to make. If anybody can help me fix this I really appreciate that.
Thanks in advance.

Is it so tiring to read carefully the available resources ?
As you may see, Apple took time to give us the needed infos.
Given what we may read in the forums, it seems that users are more often buggued than the applications themselves

Date Difference between to date formula variable

Hi Expert,
                I have create two formula variable one for Document Date and another one for Goods reciept date
and through formula variable I am subtracting these two formula variable and getting the no. of days between
document date and GR date.
This Shows me the correct value for one document date because i am filtering my query according to document
date,
while i am giving the date range for document date is shows me incorrect result. bucause document date formula
variable contains only one date.
Eg. i am giving the document date range like 01.02.2010 - 28.02.2010.
      In document date formula variable it contains only 01.02..2010 and GR date formula variable it contain correct
value, thats why the date difference is incorrect because those PO which has PO date like 12.02.2010 for that Doc
formula variable bring the same date like 01.02.2010.
Please tell me the solution
Thanks and Regards
Lalit Kumar

Hi Expert,
                 Actually i have created two formula variable on for PO date and another for GR date
and i've restrict the query through PO date.
while i am taking the single PO date in Selection parameter it showing me correct difference
eg: Selection Parameter for PO: 01.01.2010
But while i am taking the date interval for PO date
eg: 01.01.2010-30.01.2010
PO No: XXXXX123 , Doc date: 01.01.2010 GR date: 7.01.2010 then date difference is : 6
PO No: XXXXX432, Doc date: 03.01.2010 GR date: 8.01.2010 then date difference is : 7 but it is 5
Thanks and Regards

Creating a Fiscal Date formula

I have created a Crystal Report and wrote a formula that allowed me to match my database entries to my fiscal months. However, my subsequent year to date formula based off my month to date formula will only bring in current month data. It won't bring in previous month data. Is there an easy method within Crystal Reports to set the MonthtoDate function to a fiscal month? Or a formula that will use the MonthtoDate function based on a fiscal month rather than a calendar month?

Ian,
Formula below selects the cost to use for the current month costs. It works well.
if ({@Cur_Mon})= "January" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "February" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "March" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "April" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "May" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "June" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "July" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "August" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "September" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "October" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "November" then {COST.TOTAL}
else if ({@Cur_Mon}) = "December" then {COST.TOTAL}
Formula below creates "Cur_Mon". Selects the dates that the costs were incurred correctly into the fiscal month.
if {@Fiscal_Month}in DateTime(2011, 01, 01, 0,0,0) to DateTime(2011, 01, 29, 0, 0, 0)
then "January"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 01, 30, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 03, 05, 0, 0, 0)
then "February"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 03, 06, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 04, 02, 0, 0, 0)
then "March"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 04, 03, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 04, 30, 0, 0, 0)
then "April"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 05, 01, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 06, 04, 0, 0, 0)
then "May"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 06, 05, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 07, 02, 0, 0, 0)
then "June"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 07, 03, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 07, 30, 0, 0, 0)
then "July"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 07, 31, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 09, 03, 0, 0, 0)
then "August"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 09, 04, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 10, 01, 0, 0, 0)
then "September"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 10, 02, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 10, 29, 0, 0, 0)
then "October"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 10, 30, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 12, 03, 0, 0, 0)
then "November"
else if {@Fiscal_Month} in DateTime(2011, 12, 04, 0, 0, 0) to DateTime(2011, 12, 31, 0, 0, 0)
then "December"
else "Frog-guts"
Fiscal_Month actually compares two date fields in the database and uses the one which is not empty.
The formula below is my "Year to Date" formula. I've tried several different ways to write it, but it just mimmicks my current month formula.
In the end is just is a simpler way to write my first formula above. How can I make my year to date formula add all the costs that have occured to date?
if ({@Cur_Mon}in ["January", "February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September",
"August","October","November","December"]) then {COST.TOTAL}

Time and date reset bug

hu guys, recently ive been experiencing a time and date reset bug, sometimes when i open up my computer it says something like your date is set to (i forgot the exact date but the year is 2001) so i change it back to the correct time and date, im not sure how i got the bug, can anyone help me fix this problem, its beginning to be annoying. thanks in advance!!

Sherwin,
Those symptoms indicate that you need to get your backup (PRAM) battery replaced.If your computer does not retain parameter RAM (PRAM) settings when it is turned off, this generally indicates that the battery needs to be changed.;~)

Even though it is a severe bug the chances of it happening to you are low. You have to unmount and immediately remount an EXT4 partition twice in a row for it to happen. On a normally operating system that is not a normal thing to happen. Just wait on your desktop for 5 minutes before rebooting again.
Arch, as a general rule, tends to stick as close to upstream as possible. I'm sure the devs are very competent people but a quick hack or branch revert has the possibility of introducing issues of its own. With the chance of the bug occurring low on a normally operating system I think it is better to wait for a fix from upstream.
Well maybe i am a bit over stressed about this since with this computer i have quite a lot of troube which i cannot find solutions to. Also a kernel panic after a reboot this morning -probably not related to this- got me in a bad mood.
Anyway.

Massive data loss bug

Leopard's Finder has a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, leading to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in progress. This author first came across it when Samba crashed while he was moving a directory from his desktop over to a Samba mount on his FreeBSD server. Here's the link - http://tomkarpik.com/articles/massive-data-loss-bug-in-leopard/ I hope Apple would get this fixed soon.

That is actually the safest and easiest option.
Seems easier to command-click drag and drop to me. Losing data is not acceptable under any circumstance.
Everything has been precisely calculated
I don't think that data loss is something that was purposefully precisely calculated.
A short term fix would be for Apple to disable the command-drag n' drop altogether, long term would be to fix the root issue in the first place.
Am shocked to hear that this data loss bug has been known about since 10.3.

SQL DM - Copy/Export data models - bug?

SQL DM - Copy/Export data models - bug?
I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughts on following.
We used saved as/export of the SQL DM copy the model into another location. We kept our models in harddrive as folder. We did not store it in database.
We opened the copied model from target model. We found all the links to defined domain was lost. We find the data type shows as Varchar2 instead of Varchar2(20)etc. It creates error on sql.
Why are loosing the domain definition/linkages during export/save as option?
Is it a bug?
Did anyone face such issues?
What is the workaround?
Thanks in helping us out.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I followed the steps. I did copy the folders/files as Kent suggested.
As we installed the SQL developer on new desktop, it showed the domain definitions as unknown and count as 1 in Design Tree --> domain node. We copied all the xml files under C:\datamodeler\datamodeler\types folder of Desktop A to Desktop B. It brought all the domain definitions of Design in Desktop A.
Why does it not keeping this domain definitions as part of Design folders?
If we copy or save as the design , then domain also cane be saved as part of design. It will be difficult to make a sync of datamodels among multiple desktops.
How do we establish a shareable/sync data models using SQL data Modeler on such situations?
Thanks in helping.

Issue with date formula when running a report on the 1st day of the month

We have a formula that compares last month data against last year last month, the report runs on the 1st of every month although the report errors when it tries to run in January being the first month of the new year it tries to look for a month begining with Zero instead of looking back at decemeber which would be 12.
Does anyone any solutions for this issue?
Thanks,
Chris
Example of some formula's we have tried but none seem to work.
if {@MonthName} = "December" then year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT}) in year(currentdate)-1 to year(currentdate)-2 else year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT}) in year(currentdate)
OR
(if {@Last Full Month Name}= "December" then year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT})= year(currentdate)-2 or
{CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastyearytd else {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastyearytd or
{CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in yeartodate)
OR
({CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateserial(year(currentdate)-1,month(currentdate),01)-1 to dateserial(year(currentdate)-1,month(currentdate)-1,01) or
{CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastfullmonth)
OR
if {@monthname} = "December" then {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateadd("m", -28, (currentdate)) to (currentdate)-14 else {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateadd("m", -14, (currentdate)) to (currentdate)

Chris,
Give these formulas a try...
Beg of Last Month
DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m",#1/1/1900#, CurrentDate) - 1, #1/1/1900#)
End of Last Month
DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m",#1/1/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/1/1900#)
Beg December of Last Year
IF DatePart("m",CurrentDate) = 1
THEN DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -2, 12,1)
ELSE DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -1, 12,1)
End December of Last Year
IF DatePart("m",CurrentDate) = 1
THEN DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -1, 1,1)
ELSE DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate), 1,1)
Note that the "End" formulas produce a value that shows midnight of the following day that you would normally expect to see... For example, if you are expecting to see 12/31/2009, it will show 1-1-2010.
The reason is that the formulas come out to be midnight of the day shown... So a range of 12/1/2009 - 1/1/2010 will include 12/31/2009's data but none of 1/1/2010... (12/1/2009 - 12/31/2009 would actually cut off 12/31/2009).
If for some reason your data is stored w/o time values then an adjustment would need to be mande.
HTH,

A sorting songs by the "date added" bug on iPhone and iTunes?

So I've run accross a bug (maybe) that has really been annoying me for a few months now. It has been present since like iOS5 beta 3. It has to do with how my songs are sorted on my iPhone. I've always had my songs sorted by "date added" and I have never had a problem with them showing up in that way. During the beta, my songs started showing up backwards on my phone. My oldest songs would show up first on my phone's iPod even though in my iTunes they were sorted with the newest songs on top. I figured this was a bug and that it would be fixed by apple in the later versions of iTunes and after the official release of iOS5, but I was wrong. It didn't fix after I receieved my 4S. On a side note, I was having this problem initially on my iPhone 4, and it continued on to my iPhone 4S. This is probably one of the MOST ANNOYING problems I've had with my iPhone because my car displays my songs in the order they are on my phone too, and in my car I have to use a wheel and not a touchscreen to scroll all the way to the bottom (you get my point). I haven't actually found a fix for this to where everything works as it is supposed to, but today as I was tinkering with my iTunes to finally fix this problem I decided to sort all my songs by "newest songs modified" just to see if it would fix my sorting problem. It worked. My phone now has all my new songs on top of each of my playlists in ONLY the playlists I choose to have sorted in that specific way. After I realized this fixed my problem, I tried to re-sort all my songs by "date added" again just to see if it would fix my problem because having them sorted by "date modified" is an annoying problem I just dont want to have. It didn't work. So right now, I am sorting my songs on my phone by "date modified" because "date added" doesnt sort them the way it is supposed to when any playlist is transferred from my iTunes to my iPhone. Anyone know whats up? How can I let apple know about this annoying problem? Could it just be me and my computer? I've gone through multiple versions of iTunes, iOS5s including beta, and I've had the problem on two different iPhones. Coincidence? By the way I'm running windows 7, and no, I haven't searched much for this problem on forums or on google because it seems too specific to my situation (and im too lazy to look hard enough).

my problem started with the recent upgrade and this idea (sort on PC iTunes by date modified) worked. I did have to remove my playlist from my phone first and then resync to get things to respond but it seems to work. Why on earth Apple does not provide a mechanism for sorting ON THE F*&^ING PHONE is beyond me. For a company who's mantra is building things that 'they'd want to use' this gaff cannot possible fit into that paradigm.

Excel 2013 Powerpivot datamodel error with DATE formula

Hello forum users and Excel guru's alike.
I have a question relating the datamodel in Excel 2013 Powerpivot. I am using a Dutch version of Excel (on Office 365) but formula's in Datamodel are all in English so I think most of you will understand the issue:
What I want to do: Take a date and adjust this date to incorparate a number of months that is added in a other column.
Example:
Start of contract date: 24-5-2014 (this is a date field in the datamodel and it is called [StartContract])
Contract duration in months: 10 (this is a number field in the datamodel and it is called [DurationInMonths])
Output: 24-03-2015
(this is the calculated field that doesn't work)
My current formula looks like this:
=DATE(YEAR([StartContract]);MONTH([StartContract]+[DurationInMonths]);DAY([StartContract]))
It shows an error as soon as I hit Enter. The formula works fine when I replace [DurationInMonths] with the value "10" or when I leave out "+[DurationInMonths]". But that isn't an option!
The following variation also doesn't work.
=DATE(YEAR([StartContract]);MONTH([StartContract])+[DurationInMonths];DAY([StartContract]))
Please, is there any one with a solution?
Kind regards,
Erik van Hurck

Hi Tony,
I have tried your solution, to no succes I am sad to say.
I do agree that the formula works in Excel, but now switch over to the
PowerPivot Data model and try the formula there. And it will repport an error:
=DATE(year([StartDate]);month([StartDate]+[DurationInMonths]);DAY([StartDate]))
is the formula I used in the Datamodel.
The DurationInMonths field is:
Whole numbers and formatted as: General
The StartDate is:
Auto (Date) and formatted as: Short Date
For more Information I get this error:
Cannot query internal supporting structures for column "EndDate" because they depend on a column, relationship, or measure that is not processed. please refresh or recalculate the model. Maybe this link will help further:

Date Picker BUG on APEX 4.2.1

Hi all could you please open a ticket for the following bug.
Reproducing the bug very simple.
Apex specification :
version 4.2.1.00.08
I'm not using HTML 5 template but the classic "Blue and Tan" one.
1) Create a page with date picker with mask (DD-MON-YYY HH24.MI).
2) set as default value the SYSDATE using the PLSQL expression (not specifying the mask to_char()).
3) Try to use it and you will see that the year shown is not the correct one but is something like 1911.
I fixed using to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYY HH24.MI') in the PLSQL expression.

Hi Zere,
one very important thing to remember when dealing with session state (the value of a page item) is that everything is stored as string.
If you specify SYSDATE as your default expression, then the Oracle database will evaluate that as date data type, but as soon as it's stored in session state, the database will do an implicit data type conversion using the default format mask specified for your database session.
That's why it works when you do the TO_CHAR with the explicit format mask.

Data Guard Bug, which patch to fix?

It seems as though there is a bug in the Data Guard configuration through the Enterprise Manager. As I'm going through the process of setting up a physical standby database it asks me to specify a working directory. I specify the directory on a disk that has 250GB of free disk space and when I press next it does not proceed. It gives me an error "Insufficient Disk Space".
I googled for a solution to the problem and the only thing that came up was someone that had the same problem. This person mentioned that it is a known bug (3895311).
Any help would be appreciated!
(This is an Oracle 10g install on a Windows 2003 server).

Great, the patch worked like a charm. I can now proceed. However, 2 steps after specifying a working directory on the primary database host, you have to specify a working directory on the standby database host. And again, I'm getting the "Insufficient Disk Space" bug (now on the standby database host). I applied the patch to the Management Agent ORACLE_HOME on the standby host, but it didn't work.
Should this have worked? Or is this another patch that I must get?
Thanks
