Display of month insted of date in report!

Hi Experts,
Question 1:
I want to display month instead of date as a characteristic in my report. Is this possible in BEx without using Virtual Characteristic and without changing existing data module.
Question 2:
I am able to display the month as keyfigure using formula variable, but it is displaying as 201.106 insted of 201106. How to correct this? means with out displaying the thousand separator for this keyfigure.
Thanks.
Herozoh.
Help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Herzoh,
In order to display calday as calmonth.. create a formula variable with replacement path to get the date into formula.
While creating in replacement path tab give offset start and length. In the currency unit tab under dimensions select date.
Note :But the problem is you have to drag 0calday in rows.
so 0calday also visible in the report.
I don't know how to hide a charecteristic.
Regards
Ranganath.

Display Current Month's calendar

Hello,
I have a calendar that will display several months worth of data. I would like the calendar to display the current month's data initially and allow the user to scroll back to previous months. Obviously, when you set the start_date and end_date you can only view the curretn month.
Is there a way to control the month that is initially displayed on the calendar?
Thanks,
Curt

Krishnamurthy,
This workaround does work quite well and I've implemented it successfully, but I do have a question:
I need to place this calendar into a page as a portlet. When I click the 'next,previous,current' buttons, it does take me to appropriate month, but opens up in a new page and I need it to stay as a portlet within the page. Have any ideas on how to implement this? I'm using Portal Release 2. Thanks for the help in advance.

To Display "Calendar Month/Year" at report level from Calendar Day

Hello Friends,
I have a scenario in which I have 0CALDAY (e.g. 01.01.2009) along with other fields available in my report. My requirement is to display "Calendar Month/Year" (e.g. 01.2009) in my report.
Is it possible to have "Calendar Month/Year" in my report from 0CALDAY, by making changes to the query, as I cannot remodel the underlying InfoCube?
Many Thanks,

Display previous month value in report

Hi,
I have a requirement to display the previous month amounts on monthly basis. here is the example.
In the Cube I have data like this:
Customer Month Amount
C1 Jan 2004 $500
C1 Feb 2004 $600
C1 March 2004 $1000
I want to display in Report with another key figure to show the difference between current month and previous month. Report should look like:
Customer Month Amount Prev_Month_Amount Diff.
C1 Jan 2004 $500 0 $500
C1 Feb 2004 $600 $500 $100
C1 Mar 2004 $1000 $600 $400
I have tried using restricted key figures.but it is showing the same amount in prev. moth amount colunm till feb 2004. anyone had similar req. please advise me.
Thanks in advance,
Ram

Hi,
I can only think about a 2 structure approach with cell calculations.
This will result in a static report with 12 rows for each customer. Then you would need to use the new feature of zero supression, to hide those month where no data exists.

Need to show Previous months data in report

Hi All,
I have a crystal report 2011 which shows monthly Cash data. It has 3 other columns like Previous 3 months cash data, previous 6 months cash data, Previous 12 months cash data in report.
My report also has two parameters- start date and end date. If I give Start date as 1/1/2012 and end date as 12/31/2013 (two years date range) then correct data comes in all columns and for 2013 year, correct data is coming for Previous 12 months column. But if I give only one month date range like start date as 1/1/2013 and end date as 01/31/2013, then it is not showing correct data for these 3 columns - Previous 3 months cash data, previous 6 months cash data, Previous 12 months cash data. Ideally as per requirement, it should calculate previous months data regardless of parameter values and put data in respective columns.
Any help/suggestion? Any trick which can help me to show correct data in all columns no matter what date range or months I am taking in parameters.
Is it mandatory to have previous 12 Months data in report to calculate column-Previous 12 months Cash data?
Thanks,
Remi

Hi Remi,
You can try like this:
I have given a some suggestions i.e You just take one parameter only because u can imagine 3 columns previous data display correctly i.e From Date
Month parameter is also a alternate option.
For Ex: Column1: From Date - 90 Days/3 Months - we get the three months previous data correctly etc.
Finally, create a stored procedure that returns the required columns and does all the calculations on the database side.
Follow abhilash suggestion as well.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Header Fields are not displayed when there is no data in the report

Hi,
I am having this strange situation in my webi report.
When I refresh my report and when there is no data, column names are not being displayed in my report. All it is showing is two empty rows. When I have data, then report is displaying data along with column headings.
Please suggest me where I am going wrong.
Thanks,
VenMen

Thanks for the update.
Can you try this.
Run the report first time for some data.
When the report is rendered select the table that is displayed.
On the left pane side properties tab.
Expand display and check all the options
Show rows with empty measures
show rows with empty dimensions
Show when empty
Hope this will help

What you mean with huge - 100 Mio dataset?
The import of the new infocube will be also take a long time - the database must be insert a new field for every dataset.
=> is this a big infocube, then don't use virtual infoobjects.
=> on a big infocube is important to have a good datamodel - please insert always all 11 infoobjects for the time dimension.

Display number as Date in report

Hi,
We are getting the date info in the format ddmmyyyy and have to map it in the number field. I want to show this date info in the report as dd/mm/yyyy.
For example, if the date is 10072009 (10th July 2009), it should be displayed as 10/07/2009 in the report.
I tried to
a) CAST the number to string, but that was not allowed.
b) First cast the number to integer and then cast it to character. But when I used RIGHT function to get the last 4 characters, it did not return any values.
Any suggestions how to approach this?
Ady

Hi,
You can do this using CAST and String functions.
Here is an example of the formula- note that I'm using Account Revenue as the base, this can be replaced by any number, integer or currency field:
LEFT(CAST(Account."Annual Revenue" AS CHAR), 2) || '/' || INSERT(SUBSTRING(CAST(Account."Annual Revenue" AS CHAR) FROM 3),3,0,'/')
Refer to the online help for full descriptions and usage of the various functions:
LEFT - clips off the first few characters
INSERT - adds chars to a string
SUBSTRING - clips off the last few characters
CAST - convert from one type to another
|| - double pipe is concatenation
Your error may have been trying to Cast to String - there is no "String" type, CHAR serves the same purpose.

Report grouped by month, need months with no data to appear.

In my report, I have the data grouped on a formula field that concatenates month and year, so all of my months are returned in order with summary data for the months in headder along with the group name. The details are supressed.
I have two issues.
1) I need the headders to show up for all months, even months with no data. I've had a similar issue in the past, which I've worked around, but I was grouping based on a finite ordinal set that existed in my database. I simply let in a little more data than I needed, and supressed the extra rows. This isn't going to work here.
2) I need the zeroed data points to appear in a graph. Right now, the graph just ignores months that don't exist in the dataset, and as a result the time scale isn't an accurate representation of the actual data trend. ie: if Jan was 13, Feb was 0, and March was 13, on the graph, the line is continuous from 13 to 14. For a user who isn't paying attention to the axis would miss that there is actually a zero in there.

Month view off "Date" app on Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2

I have Windows XP (Home) with Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
I also have a Palm Z22 and a HP TouchPad.
My problem is with the Palm Desktop. In the "Date" application it will not display the Month view. There is no problem with the Day or Week view, but when I click on the Month view,
a screen pops up that says "Application has encountered a problem and needs to close".
It then says "Send report" or "Don't send".
After clicking on either of these, the Palm Desktop window closes.
I do not know where to retrieve the "Send Report" information if it has been sent.
Any help would be appreciated as the Month view is very helpful when planning future appointments or activities.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH....

Display current month records only

Hi Experts,
I have the following requirement.
Report should display current month records only.
For example If the report is run on 20090324, It should display records from 20090301 to 20090324.
That means, report may run on any date of that month, It should display from 01 (of that month) to current date.
I have a select statement saying
SELECT * FROM likp
WHERE wadat_ist BETWEEN month_start_date AND sy-datum
    AND vkorg IN s_vkorg
    AND vkbur IN s_vkbur
    AND kunnr IN s_kunnr.

Thanks in advance

How to display 3 month columns and YTD column

Hello,
I need a help. My report layout requires to display the data in 3 dynamic month columns and one Fiscal year Year-to-date column for a period of time. For example, ending month is FEB:
Items : DEC : JAN : FEB : FY YTD
A : $10 : $11 : $12 : $100
B : $1 : $2 : $3 : $10
(Note: FY YTD is the total sum from OCT to FEB (5 months), not 3 months to be displayed)
I tried to create a query and use Matrix with group, but the report always display five (5) month columns
from OCT to FEB instead of displaying three (3) month columns. If the query is limited to display
three months as desired, then the total sum will be 3 displayed months only (instead of 5 months).
How to create a query or how to display three months and FY YTD or do anything else with Oracle Builder9i?
Thanks,

You could use the DECODE function and variables
i.e. have a four column report
in your query use somthing like
, decode(period,:P_PERIOD1,1,0)* amount as period1
, decode(period,:P_PERIOD2,1,0)* amount as period2
, decode(period,:P_PERIOD3,1,0)* amount as period3
, amount as ytd
In your before report trigger poulate the variables with your required values

{$LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH()$} - last day of the current month
{$FIRST_DAY_OF_YEAR)$} - first day of the current year
{$LAST_DAY_OF_YEAR)$} - last day of the current year
you can also add or subtract as mentioned below..these are all the functions that are avilable on Dates.

How to use cusomer exit to set month-revelant auth setting for reporting

Hi,
Our Client has a req regarding reporting authorization in BI2004s. They don't allow their employees' to view sales revenue and gross profit of LAST MONTH. But this restriction only effective in the beginning three days of each month.
We realize that we can activate setting "Auth revlevant" for Calendar Year month and restrict certain month for viewing data purpose. But if we want the auth req "data of last month not allowed in the beginning thress days of each month", can we do it with Customer exit for "Calendar year /Month"? If YES, can anyone please tell us how, or any better idea to solve this issue??
Thank you very much.

HI hsing,
define custom defined month at taregt level.
Means, from Day3 of Month1 to Day2 of Month2 need to calculate as CM1 (Custom Month 1) and use this Custome Month for restiction.
If the InfoProvider already in production, not in a position to change the transformations, define a Virtual Key figure (VKF) in the InfoProvider and write customer exit on the key figure,
if calday <= day2 of Month1 VKF = 0,
else VKF = 1.
Display the records where VKF = 1.
Hope it will help you to find the solution for ur requirement.
Regards,
BVC
