Date formulas/javascript

Morning,
I am creating a PDF form that will be used for expense reports. I have figured out how to do basic calculations within the form, but I would also like to do some functions that would look like this in Excel (=b13 + 1) for taking a date of 11/20/14 to add one day to make the result 11/21/14? We also want to make one date field be the exact same date as another date field where our salesman will give explanation on expenses. Help?

Hi PattyE82,

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}

How to compare dates using javascript?

Hi,
I have to compare dates using javascript. The dates are in format "mm/dd/yy" for eg "10/09/06".
I have written a script to compare the dates but the problem I 'm facing is with the year.
For example if I compare "10/09/06" with "10/04/98", then "10/04/98" is coming out to be greater than "10/09/06" because it is considering year "98" to be greater than "06".
Please advice/suggest.
Thanks in advance...

Dude, you're here in a Java forum, not in a Javascript forum. Those are two entirely different languages.
The answer in Java is to use java.text.SimpleDateFormat to convert String to Date and use java.util.Date and/or java.util.Calendar to compare dates.

Passing data from JAVASCRIPT to SAP database

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to connect or access RFC function module through JAVASCRIPT? I want to send data from JAVASCRIPT to SAP database table.
Is it possible to pass data from JAVASCRIPT to SAP database table?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arindam Samanta.

OData services can be one option to achieve this.
Another possibility can be use of Generic REST enablement with SAP NetWeaver Gateway.
If you are not considering Gateway at all, then A JSON adapter like the one mentioned in JSON Adapter for ABAP Function Modules can be handy.

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

Transport data from Javascript file to BSP application

Hi,
How can we transport data from Javascript file that is stored in MIME repository to the BSP application that uses this Javascript?
To elaborate :
I have a BSP application which calls few functions from a Javascript file that is stored in the MIME repository. Now, i need to pass one of the values that is obtained dynamically in the Javascript function to the BSP application inorder to store it in DB.. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Vasuki

Hi,
you must only identify in which variable the javascript function stores the values. So you can enrich
your bsp application with such a function. Then you must transfer the value to a hidden input field.
This field content can be requested via request->get_form_field( 'name_of_the_field' ).
On the other side, check out, if ther is a getter function in this library.
Use firwefox with firbug plugin an set breakpoint in the javascript function to get an overview about the dom modcel.

Calculating and Displaying Dates in Javascript

Hello,
I'm working on a flowchart form for my work, and am having issues getting a date to a) add correctly and b) display only certain portions of the date.
I have four fields:
CurrentDate - Displays the Current Date in MM/DD/YYYY format
DropDownList1 - Contains a list of projects end users can choose from
TextField1 - Displays text that tells the end user how many days the proejct will take
DateField1 - Should add the CurrentDate + the Number of days the project will take and return a new date in the same MM/DD/YYYY format
*Disclaimer* - I am not very experienced with scripting, and chose to go with JavaScript as I do have some previous past experience.
Here is what I have for my code right now:
if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1){
TextField1.rawValue = "2 Days";
var AddDate = (Date.valueOf(CurrentDate) + (2*1000*60*60*24));
DateField1.formattedValue = Date(AddDate);
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 2){
TextField1.rawValue = "1 Day";
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 3){
TextField1.rawValue = "2 Days";
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 4){
TextField1.rawValue = "2 Days";
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 5){
TextField1.rawValue = "4 Days";
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 6){
TextField1.rawValue = "5 Days";
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 7){
TextField1.rawValue = "4 Day";
The end result is that the TextField1 displays the correct day, but the DateField1 displays a long string of the exact time and date of... well, the time - so no adding takes place. What I need is for the date to be displayed as MM/DD/YYYY. What am I doing wrong? I've only added the calculation to the first "if" statement, and will continue on to the rest once it is functioning.

The following code will work in a LiveCycle Designer button using the "JavaScript" language option:
var oNow = new Date(); // get date time object
console.show(); // oepn and clear the JavaScript console
console.clear();
console.println("oNow = " + oNow);
console.println("oNow.getFullYear() = " + oNow.getFullYear());
console.println("oNow.getMonth() = " + oNow.getMonth());
console.println("oNow.getDate() = " + oNow.getDate());
console.println("oNow.getDay() = " + oNow.getDay());
console.println("oNow.getHours() = " + oNow.getHours());
console.println("oNow.getMinutes() = " + oNow.getMinutes());
console.println("oNow.getSeconds() = " + oNow.getSeconds());
console.println("oNow.getTimezoneOffset() = " + oNow.getTimezoneOffset());
The following script uses FormCalc and can be used with a button for testing:
var oDate = Date() // get today's date
var Year = Num2Date(oDate, "YYYY") // get year four digits
var Month = Num2Date(oDate, "MM") // get month 2 digits with leading zero
var Date = Num2Date(oDate, "D") // get date without leading zero
xfa.host.messageBox( Concat("oDate: ", oDate, " Year: ", Year, " Month: ", Month, " Date: ", Date) )
var MyDate = "Feb 23, 2008" // a string data
var Year = Num2Date( Date2Num(MyDate, "MMM D, YYYY"), "YY" ) // 2 digit year
var Month = Num2Date( Date2Num(MyDate, "MMM D, YYYY"), "M" ) // month without leading zero
var Date = Num2Date( Date2Num(MyDate, "MMM D, YYYY"), "DD" ) // day with leading zero
xfa.host.messageBox( Concat("MyDate: ", MyDate, " Year: ", Year, " Month: ", Month, " Date: ", Date) )

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,
Jason

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:

Short Date Validation Javascript

For those of you who use the nls_date_format = MM/DD/YYYY date format and want the same functionality for validation as isDate found in 9iAS, here is a function that you can use. It works in WebDB 2.2 as well. It checks for a valid date, including leap year adjustments, and allows for "short" short dates: if just the month and day are entered, a year assumption is inserted. Two digit years are corrected to four digit years with an assumption as well. Any date separator syntax is allowed as well, for example if you prefer dots (.) or dashes (-). Try it - pretty much any date that is "close" is corrected to the proper format. Here it is:
function isUSShortDate(e){
tda =new Array(31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31);
v=e.value;if (v==""){return true}
r= new RegExp("\[^0-9\/]","g");v=v.replace(r,"/");
a=v.indexOf("/",0);b=v.indexOf("/",a+1);
ndd=new Date();nfn=ndd.getFullYear();nfs=nfn.toString()
if (a==-1){err(e);return false}
else{ims=v.substr(0,a);
if (ims.length>2){err(e);return false};
if (ims.length==2){rms=ims};
if (ims.length==1){rms="0"+ims};
if (b==-1){l=v.length-a-1}else{l=b-a-1}
ids=v.substr(a+1,l);
if (ids.length>2){err(e);return false}
if (ids.length==2){rds=ids}}
if (ids.length==1){rds="0"+ids}
if (b!=-1){iys=v.substr(b+1);
if ((iys.length!=2)&&(iys.length!=4)){
err(e);return false}

rcs=ncn.toString();rys=iys}
if (iys.length==4){
rcs=iys.substr(0,2);rys=iys.substr(2,2)}}
else{rcs=nfs.substr(0,2);rys=nfs.substr(2,2);
tfn=new Date(rms+"/"+rds+"/"+rcs+rys);
x=1.5768E10;diff=tfn.valueOf()-ndd.valueOf();

rcs=tfs.substr(0,2);rys=tfs.substr(2,2)}}
rfs=rcs+rys;rfn=Number(rfs);
if((rfn%4==0 && rfn%100!=0)| |(rfn%400==0)){tda[1]=29}
rdn=Number(rds);rmn=Number(rms);

Date Formula In Detail Selection

Hello
I'm really new to business objects and could really do with some advice.
I have to use Business Objects 6 although, judging by what I have seen from this website, it is quite old!
I have selected the universe that I need, I have selected the fields that I need and my report is working perfectly. So far so good.
Now, what I would like to do is automate my report so that it will run over night but (and this is the bit that is giving me trouble), I would like it to run everynight but only run sales that were keyed on for 62 days from todays date (whatever today's date may be). This is so that it can run over the weekend without anyone logging in and having to physically run it.
I know that I need to do this in the first screen where I select my criteria but I can't seem to get it to accept a formula, it's seems to only want to set it up as a prompt.
Also, if anyone has any advice on getting it to automatically email the file out in .csv format, that would be great too!
Sorry if I am asking for the moon on a stick!!!
Any help on this would be fantastic.
Many thanks
Claire

Claire,
I don't think you're asking for the moon, but what you are asking to do would best be handled as a filter within your universe (the filter is added via Designer). Once the filter is built you would add it to your DeskI report (just drop it in the filter pane while you're editing "Edit Query" mode...). You have a good business statement, sales that were keyed on for 62 days from todays date, which should be easy enough for an experienced universe builder person to accommodate you ... good luck.
thanks,
John
