Disappearing Calculated Data

Running a worksheet in Discoverer 3.1.36 with some calculated columns that are having some very odd problems. Worksheet is a crosstab structured as follows:
Orders Gross Profit Cost Mailed Net Profit Net Profit %
Offer Code ### ####.## ####.## ####.## ##.##%
Offer 1 ### ####.## ####.## ####.## ##.##%
Offer 2 ### ####.## ####.## ####.## ##.##%
Net Profit is calculated as:
DECODE(Orders,0,-Cost Mailed, Gross Profit-Cost Mailed)
Net Profit % is calculated as:
DECODE(Orders,00, Net Profit/Cost Mailed)
The worksheet is the 14th worksheet in the workbook. This is meant to be a summary sheet of the prior 13 worksheets based on offer code. If it matters, each of the prior worksheets has a field named "Orders". The other column headings are unique.
What is happening is this: The worksheet was created with the Net Profit and Net Profit % columns expressed as DECODE calculations. Run the sheet calculates fine. Works for a few days and then someone else opened the sheet. Net Profit and Net Profit % are blank. Close the sheet and reopen, the columns calculate. Close the sheet, reopen, the two columns are blank after a refresh.
Five days later I come back from vacation, the two columns calculate. Close the sheet and reopen - Blank. Make two new columns with the same calcs and it they calc while the original columns don't. Close the sheet, reopen, my two new columns don't calc and neither do the originals. Edit my new column calcs to take out the DECODE and it's been running ok for now, while the original columns will not calc.
ANY HELP!?! TIA.

Sum calculated data results from three queries in another query

Hello,
I would like to read calculated data from three different queries and sum them in another query. Is it possible to do it, please?

Hi there,
We have done this in Excel with a debtors report. I have five queries, each on a different sheet in a workbook. I have their total line appearing at the top of the results area.
Then I have an Excel worksheet with Excel formulas to bring through the totals on the other reports.
i.e. +Sheet1!C30 + Sheet2!C35 + Sheet3!D40 = Result
Hope this helps,
Regards

Fee calculation if fee calculation data change after start of academic year

Hi,
If I change "Fee calculation data" on student file (piqstm) after start of academic year, fee calculation doesn't use new data even I enter a fee calculation date later than new fee calculation data valid date. If I adjust validity date of "fee calculation data" at the beginning of start date of academic year It works. But I couldn't manage changes on fee calculation data after "start date of academic year".
Is it possible to calculate fees with new "fee calculation data" if the data changes after start of academic year?
Thanks

Hi Joachim
We have not yet implemented the BAdI, we are using the standard to do the fee calculation. I guess we are gonna have to post a OSS message, cause as soon as I calculate the fee for a student and I run again the fee calculation for the same student without any changes at all, the system creates 2 new documents. I had this effect in the past but only as if you stated I changed something, like a condition or something but now is without any changes that this happens.
About the BAdI, the problem is that in our college they have more than 70 SC per campus (and the school has more than 12 campuses). The Campus Management team decided that they were going to use only 70 central SC instead of (12 x 70). By doing that we have to use a new derivation system cause the SC is attached a central school. But the reports have to be per campus. So we have plan to derivate the company code and the business area using some registration data (instead of getting it from the SC links). The same will be happening to the cost centers and profit centers.
Thank you Joachim

Benefit calculation date

I need to change the benefit calculation date from first day of pay period to last day of pay period. Where is this in the IMG? I have searched several areas, but cannot seem to find it.
Thanks.

I found the solution myself....the benefit start date is controlled in the payroll schema. Function P0169 calls the health plan, parameter 1 sets the date control.

Month calculations: DATE() vs EDATE()

In a recent topic (Challenge to get a date correctly), I mentioned using the DATE function to calculate a date that is (for example) one month later than a given one. Specifically, if cell A1 contains the given date, then I suggested using this formula for a date one month later:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1))
Yvan Koenig suggested instead using the simpler EDATE formula, here equivalent to:
EDATE(A1,1)
There is, as it turns out, more than simplicity in favor of Yvan's approach. While one might expect the two formulas always to produce the same results, they do not! This is easily seen by constructing the following three column table with a column header:
1. In cell A2, enter the last day of the first month of this year (January 31, 2008 in the U.S. system, for example). In the cell below it, enter the last day of the second month of this year (Feburary 29, 2008, for example).
2. Next, select both cells & use the circular fill handle, drawing down to fill the column with a year or so of last-day-of month values.
3. Select cell B1 (a header cell) & enter in the formula bar & press return:
=DATE(YEAR(A),MONTH(A)+1,DAY(A))
4. Likewise, in cell C1 enter:
=EDATE(A,1)
Note that the B & C column values are sometimes the same, sometimes not. The same results occur if the "1" in both formulas is replaced with another number of months.
What seems to be happening is the 'MONTH(A)+n' expression uses the number of days in the month of the "A" cell value as the basis for the 'n months later' calculation, which is not the convention usually used for such things as billing cycles. The EDATE formula follows the normal convention, & is thus the preferred choice for almost all uses imaginable ... unless perhaps you are the one being billed.
This also applies to 'YEAR(A) + n' calculations.
So, it would seem that any calculation involving the DATE(year, month, day) form with an arithmetic operator in the year or month element should be used only with great care, if at all.
BTW, the comments about the month unit of calendar time having "no real purpose today" in http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html may be of interest.

I'm aware of the blue warning triangle appearing in these "overflow" situations; however, even when it does not, the results may be different -- for example, with a starting date of January 31st, adding one month in my long formula produces a month argument that is in bounds but (for 2008) yields a date 2 days later than with the EDATE method.
I don't view this so much a bug as a consequence of the vague nature of the "n months later" or of the "month offset" concept. As the cited scholarly article points out, the concept of the months of the year are of somewhat obscure mystic origins, & there lengths were arbitrarily set, often for reasons more political than practical. Between the 1st & 28th day of any month, the concept is unambiguous -- it is the same numbered day in the other month, but for the 29th through 31st day of the month it is not, depending on the starting month.
From what little I have been able to discover from casual research, the EDATE results are the standard more by custom than by any well-defined rule: what we mean by the offset references the first, last, or some near-the-end-of-the-month day number, whichever seems the most suitable at the time.
I do not have Excel on my Macs, but since the functions are similar, I would be interested in learning how that application behaves with this table.

Carry-forward Calculating Data, but not Updating

Currently having difficulty in getting results to generate for the Balance Carryforward in BPC 7.0M version. Receiving the following in the log message after the logic is executed:

Questions:
- Why only 336 rows Calculated?
- Why 0 rows Updated?
Background:
-     Loaded 453 records of data into Time member 2007.012 for Actual category u2013 all records are related to balance sheet accounts.
-     Added DIMLIST property to Account dimension and specified u2018BSu2019 for all base level balance sheet accounts and u2018ISu2019 for all income statement accounts.
-     Actual category dimension member has OPENING_YEAR property with value of u20182007u2019 and OPENING_PERIOD property with value of u20182007.012u2019
-     Configured Carry-forward Business Rules for the following:
o     Source Account: u2018BSu2019 (in reference to all balance sheet accounts via the DIMLIST property of account)
o     Source Flow: u2018TotalActivityu2019
o     Destination Account: I left this blank as help documentation suggests that by doing so, the account will remain the same once carried forward
o     Destination Flow: u2018OpenBalu2019
o     Reverse Sign: I left this as unchecked
o     Data Source Type: Input only (data was loaded into an Input data source)
o     Same Period: I left this as unchecked

   (Have also tried RunCopyOpening (FINANCE, LC, ACTUAL, [%SCOPETABLE%], [%LOGTABLE%]) and received the same results)
-     Executed the logic via Data Manager package and selected the following parameters:

I would be grateful for any assistance you can provide and please let me know if you need any further details.
Regards,
Jim Link

Kranthi,
Thank you for the reply. I understand what you are saying; however, when I run a report for 2008.Total, the balances that were loaded in 2007.012 and subsequently carried-forward are not showing up in the report. I'm assuming that the beginning balances should be showing up on this report, correct? I am running the report for all members of each dimension in the application, so I don't believe its an issue with my current view.

Jim

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.

Workflow email reminders on calculated date column - Paused

I am having an issue in trying to setup a SP designer workflow to be able to send a notification if an approval is not met by a certain date. I was hoping someone could point out where I am going wrong with the
workflow details below?
The workflow is based off an infopath form. The form when submitted sends an email to the appropriate person that an action is required (which works fine). I
have created a calculated column (Reminder-2A) which is [Created]+20. So the approver has 20 days to approve the form. The workflow is required to send a notification to the user if the form has not been approved.
I have tried to use the "Start on item change" workflow context & paused the workflow until the ReminderDate is greater than or equal today. There are 2 steps for this approval so I have 2 approval steps based off the FormStatus when the approval
takes place.
So the issue stems from the first step not getting released from its pause state. I was hoping that once the form is approved the FormStatus field would force the workflow to complete that step (unpause) and move to the next step but how I have it currently,
it does not work that way. Can someone point me in the right direction as how I go about achieving this?
I have attached a snippet of the 2 stage approval and the workflow state on the SharePoint site
Many thanks

Hi Luca,
I think you can use event handler associated with item for item changed. Every time an item has been edited, check whether a workflow instance is still running. If so, cancel the running workflow. This link would help you. http://chrissyblanco.blogspot.com/2007/08/cancelling-running-workflow.html
If you don't want to go for coding, you can try below approach, SP designer workflows have this behavior that they do not stop when the item is updated.
Create 2 lists (parent and child) and a workflow on each (wf1 and wf2) respectively. When your condition meets in the workflow(wf1) of parent list, create an item in child list on which the wf2 workflow starts and pauses till the specified date. Once the
pause is completed, you can send the mail from workflow 1 or 2 and then delete the item in child list.
Modify your Parent list workflow to handle the below scenario. If you ever update the item in parent list, delete the corresponding item in child list that was paused/waiting and create a fresh one.
You need to store the fields Parent list Item ID, version(optional).
Parent list is your actual list. Child list is a staging one which you never expose to anyone.
Thanks Sandy

ADF Libary Issue - Application Module disappear from data control

Hi All,
I am facing an issue while adding an Application module to an ADF project as an ADF libray.
I have two applications - ADF Application1 with Model1 project having an Application module AM1, ADF Application2 with Model2 project having an Application Module AM2
I have created an ADF library jar file of Model1 project.
When I add it to Model2 project, the Application Module AM2 of Model2 disappears and Application Module AM1 from the library appears in data control.
Please suggest what could be wrong.
Regards,
Rekha

Hi,
verify that both application modules don't share the same ID in their databindings.cpx file. Which release version of JDeveloper 11g are you on ?

Why hasn't Adobe fixed the "disappearing form data" problem???

I am using Acrobat 9.2 and people are emailing me a fillable, savable form that I CAN'T READ WHEN I GET IT! What the...?
I'm using Windows 7. The PDF form opens blank and I can only see what the user typed in if I click on one of the fields. When I click on any other field, I can see that field only -- the first one disappears and there is no way to print it. Exporting the data gives me a useless text of .fdf whatever file that is also useless and require further processing. Is there no simple solution to this? Guess I need to start using Google Forms instead of lousy Adobe products!

This is a User 2 User forum not an Adobe help line.
There is a known problem caused by Macintosh's Preview application and an Adobe blogger has posted a tool to fix these forms. The solution has been posted many times so you should be able to search for it. As a user,
The reals question is why is Apple not fixing their program to operate properly on PDF forms.
As a fellow user, I do not need you childish attitude.

Stop a calculated date from updating each time the form opens

I have a calculated "read only" Date field, that populates the current date. how do I stop this from re-calculating the date once it is submitted?

Hi Niall,
Is there a way I can change this script (below) to populate the date field only if the form is "dirty", so it will automatically update once something is changed on the form. I just dont know what to put in the Javascript to make it update the date. I only know how to do it automatically in Form Calc
Sample:
var
MyDoc = event.target;MyDoc.dirty
= true;app.exec("???");

Excel to PDF while preserving calculation/date functions

I am developing electronic chemotherapy ordersets for my pediatirc hospital. I am interested in converting them to PDFs that preserve the calculations and data validation functions (drop-downs). I believe LiveCycle will allow me to to do this, but any advice that you havwe would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, LiveCycle doesn't have capability to preserve functions while converting ms excel file to pdf. LiveCycle yields out a pdf with the data which is there in excel at the time of conversion.
Though, you might be aware, using livecycle you can create automated processes which will help you in fasten up your business process.
Thanks,

Calculating Date Fields in SQ01

Hi Friends,
I'm new to SAP so I apologize if my question sounds rudimentary. I've created a query in SQ01. I would like to be able to report on data from the current year regardless of the year. My ultimate goal is to schedule the query to run as a batch job so I never have to touch it again. Within my query I created a custom calculation field from which I can enter a formula for the date, however, it seems that I cant get the syntax correct.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Olyn

Thanks Pratik for your response. There are two things which I would like to clarify with you before proceeding with this development.
1> Is there a standard way by which we can control this requirement (mean without development) ?
2> We are using EP 6 (Netweaver 2004s). If we do the custom development as suggested by you in CRM GUI, does this change reflect directly in PCUI? or do we need to do something in EP to reflect this change?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks
Kumar

Displaying calculated data in JSP pages

This is a general question about displaying data in JSP pages which has been calculated through ViewObj Routines. I have exposed the methods to the application level however, I want these methods to automatically run on the launch of the page. I can so this with a data action in the struts file. However, I have lots of these methods (all bringing single values of data), it seems inelegant to have 10 data actions or so. What's the best way to expose and show data on a JSP page automatically which has been calculated from the database rows.
Thanks in advance

You could convert the vo row to a hash using BeanUtils and then you could do what you want with it programmaticaly to automatically dissplay the lhash values.
