Dynamic date range

I'm on ECC6.0, and looking to set up a dynamic date range in a variant.
The date range is a select-option on my selection screen.
I can easily setup the dynamic date for the 'low' value in the range,
but I can see no way to also declare a dynamic date in the 'high' value.
I also looked in TVARV maintenance and it doesn't seem possible there
either, as there's no way to declare variable values.
If I can't resolve this, I will have to change my program to include a
default high date and use that.
But even that may not work if we call the variant, which may overwrite
my default in the high value of the range with a blank value.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jagan,
If you save the variant you can choose some options for the select-option. If you choose selection variabel type D (dynamic date calculation) you can choose out of several Names of Variables that provide for a LOW and HIGH value.
If you use type T, you can choose a variable that is stored in tabel TVARVC. You can add your own variable to table TVARVC using SE16.

Scheduling WebI reports for Dynamic Date Ranges

Hello Everyone,
Our Env is BOBJ XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5 integrated with SAP NW BW 7.02 EPH1
We are trying to schedule few WebI reports which can be used on ad-hoc basis as well. Some reports need to get data from starting of the month to today (like MTD) and few are with dynamic date ranges.
In case of relational universes i used to do Magic Date as mentioned here : http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts
But for OLAP Universes i have written a MDX filter prompt as :
<FILTER KEY= "@Select(Debit Memo Date\Debit Memo Date LOV)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION= "Between">
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0)='First Day of Month','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0))"/>
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0) > '1/1/2100 12:00:00 AM',''1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM'',(@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0))"/>
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
We are getting MDX erros because IIF can only return numeric values. So are there any other approaches for dynamically scheduling the reports or can the above MDX prompt be modified to make it work ?

Ingo,
When we schedule the WEBI report we use the BEX query with a variable based on a customer Exit .
There are good examples in
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
In order to avoid providing a hard coded date restriction in the BEX query we want to have a flexible date range solution (e.g. data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday).
Is the folloing scenario possible:
Scheduled webi report with a hard coded date e.g. 1.1.1900 (for the BEX variable)
The BEX query should return the data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday (dynamically) if date = 1.1.1900
else it should return the data (for the e.g. adhoc reporting)
Is a customer exit like this possible ?
Pseudo code:
IF date = 1.1.900 then return sysdate-1 else return entered date
For a relational universe I always used a magic date condition

Dynamic date range in the variant

Hi,
We have a background job that is scheduled to run on every 25th. One step of the job has a selection screen which has a Payment date range which is to have the dates 25th of previous to the 24th of the current month.
So every month this needs to be updated dynamically. For ex: If I look at the variant of the step of the job in period 04 the date should be "03/25/2010 to 04/24/2010". If I look in Period 05 then it should be "04/25/2010 to 04/25/2010".
Can anyone tell me if this can be achieved through a variant or does this have to be put in the code?

You can create a dynamic variant using STVARV following the steps in the given link...
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Creatingdynamicvariantusingtable+TVARV
Now, the values in TVARVC need to be updated for each period. It can be done scheduling a separate BDC program, which runs for each period and updates the values. So, your date values will be changed for a new period by the background job and program variant wil pick up automatically the values from TVARVC. Check this link, which depicts a similar kind of requirement.
Re: Update TVARVC Table Dynamically
You can also calculate the values in intialization event each time the program runs as suggested by Sumit. But, if you need a variant then it won't help. The advantage with TVARVC is you can maintain different set of variants with different values.

Dynamic date range creation for WebI query

Hi
I have a webi query where I need to provide a date range as selection. But the from date will be based on number of days that user will provide during query execution. For e.g. user will give no of days as 10 so the date range need to be created as (system date -10) to (system date).
I am not sure how to provide the option for user to input no of days and then calculate the date range.
Could you please help me here.
Regards,
Amit

Amit.
it can be done but by creating multiple objects.
create Obj1: @prompt("Enter Number Of days",N,Mono,etc..) and capture the number of days in it.
Create your second object infact a filter object: Obj2: Sysdate
Third Object(filter) Obj3: (Sysdate-(@select(class\Obj1)))
give the between condition in webi using these two objects
between Obj2 and Obj3

Conditional Sum... dynamic Date range MDX

Hi
i had question just now and got the right answer for it. That was great. However, I ran and the result was not right.
It turned out I can not just sum up sales from the current date to the last date of sales but add one extra condition.
I have three dimensions: Invoice Date, Licence Start Date, Licence End date. I need to add a condition saying only sales with licence start date is equal or early than current licence end date for the below query.
I am looking at Filter function in MDX book right now. ahh It's been too long since I used the MDX last time. This is kinda urgent. Any help would be appreciated.
I have added the condition as follows. It is not right because I got the same result as the first one. It should be less.
And I think it's because the current member of licence start date for the expired month invoices are not applied right.
With member MEASURES.ActiveLicences as
sum (
Filter(
{[License Expiry Date].[FinancialYear].CurrentMember: null },
([Licence Start Date].[Financial_Year].CurrentMember <= [License Expiry Date].[FinancialYear].CurrentMember)
[Measures].[No of Students]
select {
MEASURES.ActiveLicences,
[Measures].[No of Students] } on columns,
[License Expiry Date].[FinancialYear].[YY-MMM].members on rows
from [Sales];
from
With member MEASURES.ActiveLicences as
sum (
{[License Expiry Date].[FinancialYear].CurrentMember: null },
[Measures].[No of Students]
select {
MEASURES.ActiveLicences,
[Measures].[No of Students] } on columns,
[License Expiry Date].[FinancialYear].[YY-MMM].members on rows
from [Sales];
Kind regards

Hi Sqlma,
According to your description, you are going to sum the measure for the members with the dondition that licence start date is equal or early than current licence end date for the below query, right?
In this case, you need filter out the members that licence start date is equal or early than current licence end date for the below query. And then sum the total measures using sum function. I have tested it on my local environment, here is a sample query
for you reference.
with set [aa]
as
filter
([Product].[Product Categories].members,
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]>30000)
member [measures].[b]
as
sum([aa],[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
select {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],[measures].[b]} on 0,
[aa] on 1
from [Adventure Works]
where [Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2008]

Dynamic Date Range Filter - Rolling 15 Months

Hello All,
I'm having an issue with the below report filter:
Date.Date >= (TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 0, CURRENT_DATE)) AND Date.Date <= (TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 14, CURRENT_DATE))
The aim is for the above to return 15 months of data, today's date being 31/07/08 I would like all data to be returned from the 01/07/08 - 30/09/2009. The above filter however returns everything from the 31/07/2008 - 30/09/2008.
I have seen similar posts but never but have not come across a solution, any ideas?
Thanks
Innoveer

Ok.. Sorry guys, I found the post. For all who are interested:
Date.Date >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 0, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -(DAY(CURRENT_DATE)-1), CURRENT_DATE)) AND Date.Date <= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 15, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -(DAY(CURRENT_DATE)), CURRENT_DATE))

Dynamic Date range validation

Hi all,
I have 2 date fields in a page: Start Date, End Date. The Start Date should not be later than End Date.
I don't know how to write a validation to control TWO fields. I cannot use the built-in ADF declarative validation at Entity Level, since I want to set the autoSubmit=true to do validation at realtime.
What I have done is I created validator function for both fields, the function works fine except this:
1. user input 1-1-2000 to Start Date, user input 1-1-1999 to End Date. the invalid dialog appears for end date
2. user input 1-1-1990 to Start Date, but the End Date is still Invalid.
Is there anyway to fix this problem?
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 with ADF BC.

Samson Fu

I found the solution for this, post here for anybody have the same problem.

Creation of Dynamic Date Variables to be used in WebI reports

What we are trying to achieve is to create 4 optional filters (Current Day, Current Week, Last Week, Last Month) on 4 different dates which will allow the users to use them in WebI reports.
When using an optional SAP Customer Exit variable in BEx and creating a Universe on top, the filter becomes mandatory (i.e. the whole Universe is filtered by the SAP Exit, irrespective of whether the filter is used in the WebI report). Even if the filter is flagged as optional at the Universe level, it still behaves as mandatory.
If each filter becomes mandatory then we'll have to create 16 different Universes (for each optional filter and date combination)! This is not feasible.
I've seen in other posts that MDX Statements are not currently supported for Universes base on BW and SAP Exit should be utilized.
So with the existing BO version, is it possible to create optional dynamic date variables or is that a product limitation?
We are on XI3.1 SP3 FP3.1
Thanks

Hi Adam,
In BEx, I would create this query very easily using the "Amount" key figure twice in my results and restricting each with a different SAP standard out-of-the-box delivered variable. For your reference, the variables in BEx are: 0FPER and 0FYTLFP.
If I expose these variables in my OLE DB for OLAP query, they are not transfered into the universe, but rather act as filters on the entire universe. I've seen in documentation that only "Ready for Input" variables can be transfered as options into the universe which is not something that I have seen mentioned in this thread.
>> In the BEx Query you have the option to either make the variable "ready for input" or not. The behavior is the same in Bex or in the Universe / Web Intelligence. "Ready for input" means the user can actually provide an input and without the flag the user can not provide an input. Yes those variables are supported in the Universe.
Why this is a problem: I can't create separate universes based on potential variable periods that users might want to see. Additionally, many financial reports require concurrent use of these measures in the same report. Also, in reality it's not 2 variables, but dozens.
>> Which is a decision you make already on the BEx query level. if you decide that the variable is not ready for input then the user can change the timeframe in BEx either.
Also, I don't have a good way to mimic the standard out-of-the-box functionality given with BEx in BO. If I custom create all my variables in the universe, how do I do a lookup from the system date to the fiscal calendar that is stored on the BW server? In other words, how does BO know which date belongs in which period? (the same would be true with factory calendars for a different functional area).
>> Variable are created in the BEx query and the Universe will leverage those.
If you want a dynamic date range then EXIT variable as part of the BEx query - ready for input or not - is the solution.
regards
Ingo Hilgefort
The only work around I can see is to require users to enter the current fiscal period and have the BO reports filter based off that user entered value. This is unfortunate as the entire purpose of SAP Exit variables is to avoid having to require user input at report time.

Creation of internal table dynamically based on the Date Range entered

Hi SAPgurus,
I have been facing one issue i.e creation of internal table dynamically based on the date range entered in the selection screen. For example the date range I am giving as 06/2006 to 08/2006, it should display the Fieldcatelog dynamically, this part i have completed but the only issue I am facing is to populate the sales data into that fields.
Right now my program is displaying the ALV like this.
Ex:
<b>CSR    District   06/2006 07/2006 08/2006 totals</b>
Shiva      New York                             10.00
Shiva      new york                             30.00
Shiva      new york                             40.00
but it should display like this
<b>CSR    District 06/2006 07/2006 08/2006 totals</b>
Shiva New York 10.00   30.00 40.00
80.00
Please help me in this scenario, how to acheive like this..
Thanks & Regards,

Dynamic Variant for Date Range

Making the Variant for Date or Date Range Dynamic in the Selection Screen of any Program.
There are actually many ways you can make the Variant for Dateu2019s Dynamic.
1.     Providing he Values in the Variant Variables.
2.     By creating the variables in the table TVARVC
3.     By Initializing the values in the program itself.
I saw many posts with respect to these and found that everyone has their own way of dealing. Even I wrote code in the program initialization to get this done.
Here in this post I am showing you the easiest option which is available in the Variant creation.
EX : If you want to execute the batch job based on a date range.
     SY-DATE u2013 60 days , that means always your program should execute the batch job based on System Date. And the variant should change accordingly.
Following are the step by stop to do that.
1. Select your program and select the Variant Radio button and then Click on Display.
2. It will pop up a screen with variant option below the program name.
3. Enter the Variant name and click on Create
4. You will see a screen, with the Attributes button.
5. Once you click on the Attributes button, it will take you a screen with selection option.
6. In my scenario my input is based on Calender Day, so select the Selection Variable for Calender Day: You will find 2 options T & D.
7. Select D: Dynamic date Calculation, then select the Name of Variable (input using f4). You can find many options.
8. Scroll down the Variant Attributes and select current date u2013 xxx, current date + yyy
9.Though it seems to be inactive, just double click on the row to provide the date range.
10. Just enter the value for xxx and yyy to get you dynamic range based on number of days
11. In my scenario I have to consider System Date u2013 60 days. 0 means current day.
12. Click on OK to check the range has been reflected or not. Then save the Variant and check the value by executing the program with saved Variant.
You can check the same in blog with all the screen shots attached but this thing is so easy you don't require screen shots.

Cascading Pick List with date range as first, second pick list is dynamic

Specifically, how is this accomplished?
It does not seem possible to make first pick list static. If allowed this would be perfect.
The system seems to only allow the first parameter to be dynamic if the second parameter is dynamic. No range seems to be available for date when second parameter is dynamic.

Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution (for a list of such tools, see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html).
There is at least one Crystal report viewer with its own special implementation of dynamic & cascading parameters. It would allow you to use any type of parameter within the cascade. However, you will need to create a separate rpt to implement each dynamic parameter. So in your case, you will have one main report, using a dynamic parameter that's implemented as a separate rpt, which has a date range parameter.

Dynamic variant date range

Hi experts,
i need to create dynamic variant for date range (so_date-low, so_date-high): sy-datum-1.
that will bring the data in the report for yesterday.
How can i do this?
i know how can i make variant for so_date-low
i dont know how can i do that on so_date-high.
thanks,
Michal.

1. Execute the report and you will get your selection screen then press save
2. system will take u to variant screen , select the line of your date select-options field from the list and scroll right
3. double clik on "selection variable " column and select "D"
4. double clik on "Name of variable" last column and select "Current date - xxx,current date + yyy" system will provide you popup with "Enter a value xxx" and "Enter a value for yyy" and enter value 1 in xxx and 0 in yyy
and save the variant . now your S_DATE_LOW will be system date - 1 ie yesterdays date

Dynamic Date Value for Date Range Parameter - Scheduling in BI

Hi,
I am New to BO Enterprise XI R3. I want to schedule the Crystal report which takes Date Range as parameter. Is any option available to calculate From Date automatically based on Current Date based on the range required?
Currently, Parameter option accepts parameters and enterprise process the report for configured parameters. In this case, report always prints only for configured date range eventhough report generated after one month. I am expecting report has to print data for date range (eg. 1 weeks, 4 days, or any range) based on system current date.
Thanks in Advance,
Venkateswaran.P

I'm am in the same situation. I need to be able to have the date parameter dynamically change based on the current day's date when I schedule a report. However, because this parameter comes from a Stored Procedure from the database, it cannot be modified in the Report Designer (as far as I know). I've tried to set a default for it to use "currentdate" but it doesn't seem to take. Anyone know if this can be accomplished in the scheduler?
Thanks

Creating dynamic value range, one week at a time

Every Monday, I query a table to get data for the past week, every Monday (last Monday) to Sunday. I do some calculations with the data and insert the data and dates into a table.
I then use cfchart to create a graph using this data. The drilldown uses the same weekly date range to produce a report. So the record count for the chart and the report should be the same.
What I just discovered is that more data can be added to the query table after I have already obtained the data. Since the data for the chart is already in the table, it is static. But the report is dynamice since it uses the weekly date range everytime the drilldown is selected. This causes the count of the report to be different than the count of the chart.
Instead of gathering data every Monday and inserting into a table, for the chart, how can I make the chart data dynamic ?
I need to plot a rolling 12 weeks worth of data, always from Monday to Sunday, inclusive. So if I decide to run the chart on a Wednesday, how would I gather the twelve weeks worth of data, always from Monday to Sunday ? I need to make this dynamc.
The reports always work because the drilldown is pasing it the dates, thats why the count is always correct. But I do not know how to do this with the chart, which needs to be dynamic also, since static will not work.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Trojfn,
For gathering the data and inserting the same in to a table, why can't you use the scheduled tasks?.
