Date function to return prior period

Hi there,
I am wondering if there can be a function that can return prior month date based on current date, e.g., PriorPeriod("01-Jan-2015") to return "01-Dec-2014".
Thanks in advance for help.
Regards,
AR

Let's say that you have a field or text box MyDate that contains a date.
The date one month prior to the value of MyDate is
DateAdd("m", -1, [MyDate])
If you want to return the first day of the previous month, you can use
DateSerial(Year([MyDate]), Month([MyDate])-1, 1)

Date function not returning any rows

I am trying to pull back rows for data of people who were born in the 90s
 a.birthday >= to_date('01/01/90','dd/mm/yy')
 and
 a.birthday <= to_date('31/12/90','dd/mm/yy')
I know that there is definately users born in the 90s in my database but it returns 0 rows with the above ouptut Date format is like "05-FEB-93", have tried using dd/mon/yy but that gives an error

Secondly a.birthday >= to_date('01/01/1990','dd/mm/yyyy') and a.birthday <= to_date('31/12/1990','dd/mm/yyyy')
is not everyone born in the 90's, it's everyone born in 1990. If you want everyone born in the 90's you need:
a.birthday between to_date('01/01/1990','dd/mm/yyyy') and to_date('31/12/1999 23:59:59','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')I realize your birthdays are most likely trunc'ed so the time portion probably isn't necessary but I included it just to be safe.

Function to return the Entry Value based on Assignment, Element and Date

Hi Guys,
Is there a function that returns the Entry Value for the Assignment Element, based on the Assignment Number, Element Name, Entry Segment and the End of Period date?
Example:
==============
Input Parameters:
Employee: Iana
Assignment Num: 123
Element: D480
Element Entry: Fund Name
Output Parameter:
Element Entry Value: MLC Super Fund
Thanks,
Iana

For element entry values you can use:
select petf.element_name, nvl(peevf.screen_entry_value,0) screen_entry_value
from
pay_element_entries_f peef, pay_element_types_f petf,
pay_element_entry_values_f peevf, pay_input_values_f pivf,
per_all_assignments_f paaf
where petf.element_type_id = peef.element_type_id
and :p_date_earned between pivf.effective_start_date and pivf.effective_end_date
and :p_date_earned between petf.effective_start_date and petf.effective_end_date
and peevf.input_value_id = pivf.input_value_id
and paaf.assignment_id = peef.assignment_id
and petf.business_group_id = :p_business_group_id
and peevf.element_entry_id = peef.element_entry_id
and :p_date_earned between peef.effective_start_date and peef.effective_end_date
and :p_date_earned between peevf.effective_start_date and peevf.effective_end_date
and :p_date_earned between paaf.effective_start_date and paaf.effective_end_date
and pivf.name = :p_input_value_name
and petf.element_name = :p_element_name
and peef.entry_type = 'E'
and peevf.effective_start_date = peef.effective_start_date
and peevf.effective_end_date = peef.effective_end_date
--and peef.assignment_id = :p_assignment_id
and paaf.assignment_number = :p_assignment_number;
For payroll results you can use:
select sum(prrv.result_value)
from pay_run_results prr, pay_run_result_values prrv,
pay_assignment_actions paa, pay_payroll_actions ppa,
pay_element_types_f petf, pay_input_values_f pivf,
per_all_assignments_f paaf, per_all_people_f papf
where
petf.element_type_id = pivf.element_type_id
and :p_pay_date between petf.effective_start_date and petf.effective_end_date
and :p_pay_date between pivf.effective_start_date and pivf.effective_end_date
and paa.assignment_action_id = prr.assignment_action_id
and petf.element_type_id = prr.element_type_id
and ppa.payroll_action_id = paa.payroll_action_id
and prrv.input_value_id = pivf.input_value_id
and prr.run_result_id = prrv.run_result_id
and petf.element_name = :p_element_name
and pivf.name = :p_input_value_name
and ppa.date_earned = :p_pay_date
and papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
and nvl(prr.start_date,ppa.effective_date) between paaf.effective_start_date and paaf.effective_end_date
and nvl(prr.start_date,ppa.effective_date) between papf.effective_start_date and papf.effective_end_date
and paaf.assignment_id = paa.assignment_id
and papf.employee_number = :p_employee_number;

Function module for getting periods for date range

Hi,
Can anybody tell me the function module which will return the periods along with the year, when we give a date range.
e.g
01011999 to 120112000
so it shoud return peroids between these date with year. Its possible thru programatically, but i m checking if there is any FM, so i can use FM.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can use function module which works exactly what you are expecting FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS.
please reward points to useful answers.

PLSQL function body returning an sql report returns ORA-01403 No Data Found

I am on APEX 3.1.2.00.02 and Oracle 10g.
I am developing a report with SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) type. But on running the report I am getting
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
Region Source
declare
qry varchar2(32767);
begin
--Procedure call
my_pkg.get_query(qry);
htp.p(qry);
return /*select 1 from dual */ qry;
end;
Procedure
PROCEDURE get_query (V_QRY OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
qry varchar2(32767);
begin
qry := ' select name
     , max(decode(to_char(service_date,''Mon-YY''), ''Jan-09'', value, null)) as "Jan-09"
     , max(decode(to_char(service_date,''Mon-YY''), ''Jan-09'', value, null)) as "Feb-09"
     from MY_TABLE
     group by name ';
V_QRY := qry;
end;
The query will be enhanced later to add more months and year based on user parameters once I am successfull in running report on this.
I wish to use Query Specific Column names. I have seen this suggestion from Scott in a number of threads to use /*select 1 from dual */ with query but not working in my case.
Can someone please suggest what can I do to make it working?
Regards,
Amir

Firstly, have you unit tested the procedure (namely, within the SQL Workshop, SQL*Plus, SQL Developer,etc, etc.) to see if it produces the right output in the first place?
If you have, and the query string generated is valid, try assigning the output to a page item (thus allowing you to view it in the session browser) or even pass the procedure output into the debug window (with the use of the wwv_flow.debug function). This might reveal some state or session change which is causing it not to return.You might find this easier to achieve if you change from a 'procedure and out parameter' combination to a 'function returning string' approach.
Alternatively, try re-creating the report in a new region - occasionally I've come across weird bugs with report regions which resolved themselves in this manner.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL - report error:ORA-01403: no data found

Hi,
I am working on Application Express 4.0.2.00.06, and 11G database.
I have a problem with classic report area of type - PL/SQL function body returning SQL query. Query works if I define region area as - Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only), and does not when I define it - Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query.
I am getting error:
report error:ORA-01403: no data found
This is my query that is returned from function, and displayed with htp.p, and it works ok and returns data in SQL Developer and SQL Workshop (in Apex).
<code>

As you can see, I even tried with workaround that I found on the previous post on the forum, and that is to put /* select 1 from dual */ to start query.
Any help would be appriciated.

Getting Same Store functionality to work across prior periods, not just current

I have a basic Sales table, with a Store Key, Date Key, and dollar amount. I also have a SameStore table, which for every combination of StoreKey and DateKey, says whether or not that store should be considered "Same Store" (was operational
last year for the same time period) on a month to date, qtr to date, and YTD basis. The MTD Y/N, QTD Y/N and YTD Y/N are available via the same store dimension. Via my date dimension, I have all the usual date calcs, such as prior month, prior
year, QTD, etc...
It is very easy to query the totals for all of my stores as of Sept 2014 and get the current sales amout, as well as get the prior month, prior year, and so on. Now, if I only want to see the totals for stores that should be considered "same store"
as of Sept 2014, I can throw the MTD=Y up into my filter and then the current month's total will adjust to only show stores where their same store flag for Sept 2014 is set to a YES. All of the NO's for Sept 2014 get removed... however, if one of those
NO's was considered Same Store in August, their $$$ number is still being incldued in the Prior Month date calc. I don't want it there, becuase as of September (the focus of my report) they are not considered same store anymore.
I am getting this:
As of September 2014, Same Store=Yes
Store Current$
Last Month$ Last QTR$
1 (closed 8/15) $0.00
$100.00 $125.00
2 $50.00
$75.00 $60.00
3 $60.00
$65.00 $85.00
But I really want this:
As of September 2014, Same Store=Yes
Store Current$
Last Month$ Last QTR$
1 (closed 8/15) $0.00
$0.00 $0.00
(or this whole row can just be gone completely)
2 $50.00
$75.00 $60.00
3 $60.00
$65.00 $85.00
Just because Store 1 was considered to be a "Same Store" in August doesn't matter since I am running my report as of September. It is not "Same Store" as of September, so it should vanish from all my calculations.
Currently, dimStore, dimDates, and dimSameStoreStatus all hang off of the main Sales fact table. I know this is part of the problem. We are going to try and connect the dimSameStore to the dimStore and dimDates tables rather than the fact table,
but I not sure if my overall design is right for this or not in general.
Has anybody had to do something similar? If I get a solution from somebody (or a great hint that helps me solve it), I'll send you a Starbucks gift card.
Thanks in advance!
Mgr, Data Warehouse Svcs

Hi D,
The way I typically deal with this is to use a table, like you have, to mark whether the store was comparable for that Period. Then, when you run a query, you are comparing two or more periods. So, your query should restrict the scope to only
include stores that were marked as comparable in all periods.
For example, if you are comparing this month with same month last year, you should only include stores that were comparable this month and same month last year. If you have a query that is showing month on month growth for all the months this FY, you
should only include stores that were comparable for all months so far this year. This is more common for a rolling n period report.
I find it quite interesting that most retailers use some variant of "Same Store Sales" with the express purpose of being able to compare performance with other retailers. However every retailer has their own definition of what a comparable
store is.
Hope that helps,
Richard

Date issue in processing billing documents that shipped in a prior period

Date issue in processing billing documents that shipped in a prior period that is now closed:
SAP values those deliveries with the current document date in A/R when it should be the original delivery date. Baseline date needs to stay the delivery date, but is getting copied from the billing date in the new period. A user exit exists (& needs to be applied) to manipulate the baseline date when the accounting document is being created.

Hi,
I'm new in ODP.NET, i'm make a package that contains a function that returns a date i.e.

vd_day date;
Begin
select sysdate into vd_day from dual;
return vd_day;
end Get_Day;
End General_pkg;
i use the next code to execute the function:
OracleCommand cmdData = new OracleCommand("General_pkg.Get_Day", cnx);
cmdData.CommandType = Commandtype.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter PRM;
PRM = new OracleParameter();
PRM.ParameterName = "VDATE";

When i execute this code, i have and exception, which say "identifier GENERAL_PKG.Get_Day must be declare..."
Obviously the package is correctly created in ORACLE i tested first in sql plus and it works but in ODP.NET they don't recognize the package or the function i don't know... please help!!!

OOOOOPSS.... i forgot that i change the user in my conecction string that's why it didn't work...

Calc with Current and Prior Periods Data

Hi Everyone - I would like to come up with two types of calculations usingamounts from prior periods (dynamically) 1. "Net Sales" (current period) + "Net Sales"(current period - 3 months) + "Net Sales" (current period- 6 months) + "Net Sales" (current period - 9 months)i.e. If current period = June ... Net Sales Amount in June + NetSales Amount in March + Net Sales Amount in December of the yearbefore + Net Sales Amount in September of the year before. 2. Sum "Cash" for the past 12 months (current period tocurrent period - 11) In both cases, we'll need to handle getting amounts from the prioryear, as well. I can feed the "current period" in thru a sub var, yet(assuming that is the correct function, I am not sure how to set up@PRIOR with Current Period - n Periods... I appreciate your help. Grazie ...lb 

Hi David,
I'd suggest you use a Query filter (or a report filter) to retrieve only rows that match this criteria on years. Since you need two values, I may have to use the filtering operator 'in list'
Difference between those two is query filter will only retrieve to values where year = 2008 or 2009 from the datasource (so if you want to change the year values, you will have to refresh document), while report filters are active on the query output (which means that no refresh from the DB is required if you need to change values), which might bring a better experience if you need interactivity in the report. Moreover, if interactivity is important and you are working with WebI XI 3.1 SP2, you can embed these report filters into Input Control, and command the filter from a graphical widget like check boxes, to let user control which years he wants to view/ compare in the table (or chart).
Hope that helps,
David.
