Display Month number

Hi,
In our report, we have a requirement to display the month numbers. For example, if the user selects Jan for the time dimension prompt, it should display 1 Month Ended. If selection September, it should display 9 Months Ended.
Is there any way to achieve this? ( we have already tried conditional formatting but it degrades the performance).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aparna

If there is nothing can be done on the essbase side then conditional formatting is the best availabe to do it.
But still I guess you can try asking for a alias defined on the time dimension. Coz that is only the proper way of doing that.

  • Display Month verbiage on chart but sort by month number

    Hello,
    I have inserted a simple bar chart (values by month for a single year) and my goal is to get the data values to group by month.
    I found that I can achieve this by using a formula that extracts the month from my Date/TIme field MONTH({Command.OB_DELIVERY_DATE}).
    This works OK and displays months as 1, 2, 3,  etc. on my chart), but I want to display the month text instead (Jan, Feb, Mar)
    I tried a second variable:  ToText({Command.OB_DELIVERY_DATE},'MMMM')
    This works in displaying the verbiage of the months, however, the problem is that it groups the months on my chart alphabetically now (April is now my 1st month instead of January).
    What is the trick to displaying month verbiage on my chart, but still sorting these months in their proper numerical order?
    Many Thanks!

    Hi Dave,
    Try this please:
    1) Insert a Crosstab and place it on the Report Header. Use the Delivery Date field as the row and add the measure field as the Summary Field with the right Sum function
    2) Highlight the Delivery Date field > Group Options > set it to print 'For Each Mointh'
    3) While in the Crosstab Expert highlight the Delivery Date field > Click Group Options > Options  tab > check the option 'Customize Group Name field' > Select 'use formula as group name' and click the formula button beside. Use this code:
    ToText({Command.OB_DELIVERY_DATE},'MMMM')
    4) Right-click the Crosstab and select Insert Chart. Choose the right Chart Type
    5) Suppress the Section that holds the Crosstab
    Hope this helps.

  • How to get the current month number

    Hi everyone,
    Does anybody know how to get the current month number in Oracle Discoverer Worksheet calculation?
    I try to use EUL_DATE_TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE, 'MM'), but instead I got 01-AUG-00.
    If I change the data display format to MM, it will give me "08" but if I use TO_NUMBER function to convert it to number I get error "invalid number"
    Is there anyway to get the current month value in number? Thanks

    Scott,
    Thank you so much! It works perfectly! :)
    Hope you have a great day ahead!
    Cheers,

  • Have a month number but QaaWs query will not run

    If I type in the parameters for the query it runs with no problem, but when I use the MONTH function that returns the month number the query will not run.
    I think the date serial number is what is being passed even though I see a number being display.  Does anyone know how to conver this MONTH() function to a true number?  This is a converted 4.5 model that works just fine, but looks like they tightened things up in 2008.
    Thanks...
    Tom Nather

    Here is how its setup.  I have a QaaWs query that returns the max date, then Excel functions that calculate the date back 13 months.  One of the functions is MONTH() that returns the month number based on a date stored in a cell, not really a true number.
    I added a vlookup that takes the month from a date field (05/31/2008) and looks up the appropriate NUMBER of the month =VLOOKUP(MONTH(K47),M54:M65,1). Find 5 (which is defined as a number.
    This then is applied to the input side for the Qaaws (Month Number = double) using a Paste Link function from the CONTROLS sheet in excel, and the query then works.
    Anything that is a date always seems to be built off of the date serial number so this was the easiest way to get this to work. 
    I think standards have been tightened up using the Flex language vs. what 4.5 was written in, this works in 4.5 without the necessary conversion.

  • Validate month number as text

    I am trying to validate a text field so that it only accepts the month in numerical form with a leading zero if less than 10. The data type is Text Field, the value is  “User Entered - Required” and the Validation pattern is 99.
    I have the following code:
    ----- topmostSubform.Page1.DateMM::exit: - (JavaScript, client) --------------------
    if (this.isNull) {
        xfa.host.messageBox("Field cannot be blank!");
    else {
        if (xfa.event.commitKey == 2){
            if (this.rawValue >= "01" && this.rawValue <= "12") {
                xfa.host.setFocus("DateDD");
            else {
                this.rawValue = "";
                xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter month number between 01 and 12");
    ----- topmostSubform.Page1.DateMM::validate: - (JavaScript, client) ----------------
    if (this.rawValue >= "01" && this.rawValue <= "12")
        true;
    else
        this.rawValue = "";
        false;
    ----- topmostSubform.Page1.DateMM::change: - (JavaScript, client) ------------------
    if (xfa.event.commitKey == 2){
            if (this.rawValue >= "01" && this.rawValue <= "12") {
                xfa.host.setFocus("DateDD");
            else {
                this.rawValue = "";
                xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter month number between 01 and 12");
    Since the field is required, I want the message “Field cannot be blank!” to be displayed if when entered on the field and nothing is entered. If validation doesn’t pass (month from 01 to 12), delete the text and display error message. As it is now The validation seems to work, but the error messages are not showing except the “field cannot be blank”. If I enter incorrect text I get the “Field cannot be blank” twice.

    Put this code on the exit event of the field. If the user enters a single digit then a 0 will be added.. Make sure the field is a numeric firld and it is set for an integer. This will make sure the user cannot enter a letter.
    if (this.rawValue.length < 2){
    this.rawValue = "0" + this.rawValue
    if ((this.rawValue > 12) || (this.rawValue < 1)){
    app.alert("The field must conatain a value from 01 - 12")
    this.rawValue = ""
    xfa.host.setFocus(this.name)

  • Cinema display serial number from plist

    Hi, I need help getting my cinema display serial number from an old Plist file.  My office was broken into recently and someone made off with the monitor.  It's a long shot but I thought I could find the serial number for the campus police.  I was able to find an old com.apple.windowserver.plist file that had some information for the display.  I tried the command <defaults read ./com.apple.windowserver.plist> and came up with the following.  Problem is they don't look like serial numbers for a cinema display.  Any suggestions? 
                    DisplayID = 69530633;
                    DisplayProductID = 37430;
                    DisplaySerialNumber = 42039688;
                    DisplayVendorID = 1552;

    Hi ,
    Go to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist. Open this with TextWrangler or a similar utility. Look for a DisplaySerialNumber key with an integer value that isn't 0. With any luck, this should be the s/n of your display.
    If you haven't used this display for a while, the records of it may be gone.
    Also, it appears that this isn't guaranteed. Double-check if possible.

  • Display Month and 12 previous Months

    I am trying to create a report (CRXI) which will display month data for the current month and the 12 previous months.   I am going to use subreports (similar to a calendar report) but am having trouble displaying the 12 previous month, year  headers.  
    I get the current month, year from a prompt date and then need to decrease a month for 12 months.  
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Martha,
    If you want to create a report for last 12 months and don't want to include present month then use the record selection for main report as
    (month({DateField}) < month(currentdate)
    and
    year({DateField})= year(currentdate))
    or
    (month({DateField})>=month(currentdate)
    and
    year({DateField})=year(currentdate)-1)
    and in the subreport use the record selection to get current month date as
    (month({DateField}) =month(currentdate)
    and
    year({DateField})= year(currentdate))

  • When I receive text messages, it displays phone number instead of contact name.

    I updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 over the weekend. Since updating to iOS 5, all of my text messages show up with a phone number listed instead of the contacts name. I checked my contact info and all the contact information is listed and the numbers under the contact are correct. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you discovered any resolutions?

    Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
    This worked for me on Verizon.
    I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
    The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
    Ps. PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE
