Exact date range comparison

I have payment table like this,
Date | Store | payment
01/01/2012 | A | $300
01/01/2012 | B | $400
01/01/2012 | C | $500
01/02/2012 | A | $500
01/22/2015 | C | $300
I want to make a report like this,
A
B ........ Totals
Current year | Last Year | Difference Current year | Last Year | Difference ..... Totals
Jan
Feb
March
Dec
However for comparing last year & current year, I only want to take into account the number of days in the current month. For instance, if current year-month sales are only up-to-date until 22 then for previous year, i want to show sales for Jan only
until 22.
I know I can hardcode this for previous year sales by specifying harcoded dates, but anytime I try using something like calculate(sum(payment), formula to calculate last date in current year and use dateadd() formula move this back by one year) always
results in error like "cannot use formula in calculate filter"
is there any solution to this?

PaymentYTD:=CALCULATE(SUM([Amount]),DATESYTD(Dates[Date],"12/31"))
PaymentPriorYear:=CALCULATE([PaymentYTD],
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Dates[Date]))
The dates in Dates tables are contiguous, however there are missing dates in payment table (as the store for closed for some of the holidays). Below
is sample data,

Date range parameters are off by one day

I have a Start Date and End Date parameter in my SSRS report. The results are off by 1 day. For example if I enter 4/2/2015 and 4/20/2015 it will return a few results from 4/1/2015 to 4/19/2015. I think maybe it's a problem with my date
conversion in T-SQL, but thought someone more experienced than me would have seen this before.
Thanks

Yes
The safest way to write a date range comparison would be as below
WHERE DateField >= @StartDate
AND DateField < DATEADD(dd,1,@EndDate)
If you want results with @EndDate inclusive

No Data in Reports Details in Custom date range

Hello, iTunes U Public Site Manager Admins.
As the iTunes U Public Site Manager admin, I've been trying to access our institution's iTunes U Reports Details for a couple of days. (I send a monthly report of usage to our course/collection contributors.) When I custom the date range, under Details, there is zero entry; "No data available in table" message is shown.
This feature had been working well since Apple iTunes U added this enhancement on August 13, 2013. The report Details showed the exact stats for Browse, Subscribe, Download, Stream, and Enclosure for each course/collection in the custom date range.
Now under "Details", the data is shown only when the date range is Last 30 Days. It shows no data in custom date range when the Calendar is used to select a Start Date and End Date.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Thanks.
Q. Wang

Erik.
I used your suggestion and it worked very well. This is how I did it.
Export the range of data that includes Feb. 1-Feb. 28, 2014 as .tsv file.
Open that file in Excel.
Add a blank column next to the Date column. Use function =Month() to just extract the month into the new column. Fill down the whole column. Then copy and paste special (value) into the same column (I have over 26,000 rows of data in the file.) Converting to Value will allow for the next step of PivotTable.
Create a PivotTable for the 26,000 rows of data. Use Month as the Report filter, iTunes_ID as the Row Labels, Select Browse, Subscribe, etc. as the Sum Values. (The result is a summary table with about 200 rows.)
I then do a Vlookup to my premade Master file to add Category (course, collection, resources) and Instructor Name to each of the 200 rows.
That will do it for my monthly report.
Thanks for your tip again. I did not know the .tsv file would have DATE for each item.
Sincerely,
Q. Wang

Passing a date range to a Crystal Report using OpenDocument

Hi,
I am trying to call up a Crystal report in InfoView using a hyperlink with the OpenDocument function call.
It is working fine with the following URL:
http://<server name>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=ARcnOcErTA1FidjRJ_sT0Yw&sType=rpt&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany+Code=1300&lsMCost+Center=[12345],[67890]&lsSCost+Element=0000100123
However, once I added the date range into the parameter string, like this:
http://<server name>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=ARcnOcErTA1FidjRJ_sT0Yw&sType=rpt&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany+Code=1300&lsMCost+Center=[12345],[67890]&lsSCost+Element=0000100123&lsRFiscal+Year+Period=[Date(1,1,2011)..Date(1,9,2011)]
It returns an error message, "An error has occurred: java.util.Date ", to my browser.
I am wondering if I am missing any Java library or Java class path.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Joyce
Edited by: Joyce Chan on Aug 30, 2011 12:25 PM

How do I check if the parameter passing in is in date type?
the following is exactly what I've tried:
&lsRFiscal+Year+Period=[Date(2010,10,10)..Date(2010,10,15)]
Would the error message be logged in the server, maybe I can find more information for the error log?

How to limit data range in a Line chart with Time Refresh Control

Hi All,
I have a Line chart with Time Refresh Control and I would like to make some constraints to this navigation.
For example, I would like to limit the user to navigate in a data range of 8 hours.
Is this posible?
Thanks in advance

Hi Pedro,
as far as I know, this is not possible using the time controls on an iChart. However, you may have some success by using your own time controls which call JavaScript methods exposed by the applet.
For example, you could begin by hiding the time and calendar buttons on an iChart, and creating some buttons of your own. For instance, to set the start date of a query (and thus the start date of the iChart using the query), you can use the following:
document.getElementById("appletID").getQueryObject().setStartDate(<date string>);
Using code like the above (look into the xMII script assistant and documentation), you should be able to build time controls which satisfy your requirements. The exact format of <date string> in the sample above will depend on the date format defined in the query template this script calls.
Hope this helps,
Sascha

Multi Mailbox Search Date Range Results Inaccurate

Hi All,
I have an Exchange 2010 server with SP3 /RU3 installed. When I do a multi mailbox search using OWA /ECP and put in a start and end date from the Date Range dropdown box, my search results shows me more than just the intended date range of emails. For
example; if I request just a particular month and year, my results will show a couple of years worth of emails not just the one month that I requested.
If I do the same exact search using PowerShell command the results are accurate, they will show only the one month. We could use PowerShell commands but we'd would rather use the OWA /ECP console instead. To me it seems like a bug in the code. Has anyone
else experience this issue or have a resolution?
Thanks in advance.

Possibly, this could be BUG.
Haven't experience this kind of issue...

Assign Month within a date range (by most days in a given month)

I have a begin and end date, sample data as such
select to_date('01-13-12','mm-dd-yy') from_dt,
to_date('02-23-12','mm-dd-yy') to_dt
from dual
union all
select to_date('03-15-2012','mm-dd-yy') from_dt,
to_date('04-16-2012','mm-dd-yy') to_dt
from dual
union all
select to_date('05-13-2012','mm-dd-yy') from_dt,
to_date('07-23-2012','mm-dd-yy') to_dt
from dual
How do I assign a month by the most days in a month within that date range? Sometimes the date range might have the exact same amount of days in a month (like 3/15/2012 has 16 days and 4/16/2012 has 16 days). In this case, I want the earlier month (march).
So from the sample data:
01/13/2012, 02/23/2012, February
03/15/2012, 04/16/2012, March
05/13/2012, 07/23/2012, June
Thanks

How to get XLR to show BPs with no transaction data for a given date range

Hi -
I am building an XLR report that does a comparison of net sales data across two periods for a given sales employee's BPs.
The report has the row expansion:
FACT BPA(*) SLP(SlpName = "ASalesPersonNameHere") ARDT(Code = "ARCreditMemo", "Invoice") Group by BPA.CardName
and column expansions:
FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate:@EndDate)
and
FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate2:@EndDate2)
where @StartDate, @EndDate, @StartDate2, @EndDate2 are parameters that define the two ranges of dates.
The column formulas are, from left to right:
=ixDimGet("BPA", "CardName")
=ixGet("SO_DocTotal") <-- filtered by column expansion for first date range
=ixGet("SO_DocTotal") <-- filtered by column expansion for second date range
The report works fine except for one problem, I would like it to include BPs for which no transaction occurred in either date range as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Lang Riley

Really appreciate your feedback! Those are good suggestions. I should have mentioned that I had already tried both those suggestions.
Removing FACT on BPA in this case ends up returning all the BPs and not respecting the SLP(SlpName = "aName") part of the query.
Using **, i.e., * or #NULL, makes no change in the resulting data in this case. I had thought that ** would be the solution, but it didn't change the outcome. I still have BPs for which when their sales employee is used as the filter and they have no transactions for either date range, and yet they still do not appear.
I should further mention that the IXL query, as it now stands, does return BPs for which one of the periods has no data, just not both, and I have verified that applicable BPs with no transaction data for both periods do exist in my data set. It seems that perhaps the IXL query needs to be restructured? Please keep the suggestions coming including how this query might be restructured if necessary.

Format Date Range in Select Statement e.b. 4/10/14 - 4/09/15

So far thanks for all the help you've provided me on here. I'm a long time Access developer and have just worked with SQL very little throughout the years but now I'm working full-scale in it, so a learning process for me.
I am familiar with the DateADD function in SQL DATEADD(mm, 1, GETDATE()) AS MyDate. The part that I'm struggling with is that I need to show a date range in a single field. I can not do it by having that function twice because of the character"-",
which will throw and error. I played around with the "Convert" function some and I am thinking that a combination of the Convert and DateADD functions would be the way to accomplish this but I'm not sure.
Basically what I need is using today's date as an example, I would need the result to return 04/10/14-04/09/15. Any assistance would be appreciated.

This is not being used as a back-end to any type of user interface, so doing it on the front-end is not an option. The data is being exported out to text files, so it needs to be exactly as I had in the example as a single field.
Thanks all for the feedback. Latheesh's post is the closest to what I need, in fact it's exactly what I'm looking for, which is below.
Select Convert(varchar(20),DATEADD(mm, 1, GETDATE()),10 ) +' ---- '+ Convert(Varchar(20),DATEADD(mm, 12, GETDATE()),10)
Ok, I got it working. Actually, turns out that it's not much different than Access syntax other than convert is used in place of Format. DateAdd, DateDiff, etc. are all used in Access as well. Thanks for all the help.

Using analytical function to calculate concurrency between date range

Folks,
I'm trying to use analytical functions to come up with a query that gives me the
concurrency of jobs executing between a date range.
For example:
JOB100 - started at 9AM - stopped at 11AM
JOB200 - started at 10AM - stopped at 3PM
JOB300 - started at 12PM - stopped at 2PM
The query would tell me that JOB1 ran with a concurrency of 2 because JOB1 and JOB2
were running started and finished within the same time. JOB2 ran with the concurrency
of 3 because all jobs ran within its start and stop time. The output would look like this.
JOB START STOP CONCURRENCY
=== ==== ==== =========
100 9AM 11AM 2
200 10AM 3PM 3
300 12PM 2PM 2
I've been looking at this post, and this one if very similar...

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.
Thanks,

I have a characteristic of type date in the additional data of a DMS document. If I enter the date (for example validity date) as 08/31/2009 and search using cv04n and give a date range for the characteristic (i.e. 01/01/2009 - 12/31/2009), the search result will bring up the document.
However, I cannot do this from the EasyDMS find function. I need to specify an exact date. This is not very helpful for user who need to find documents with a validity date between 01/01/2009 - 12/31/2009 for example. Is there a way users can search for date range in EasyDMS find function?
Thanks,
Lashan

To search a date range with EasyDMS Client you have to set the registry key
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\EasyDms\Generel\DateSearchPick to Value 0
Then you can use the input field like in SAP-Gui. (01.01.2009-31.01.2009)
If you set the value to 1 or the key is not defined you can only search for one specified date.
If you don't find this key on your PC create it as dword.
Maybe you must restart you PC for takeing effect.
Hope this will help you.

Getting Record Count From Date Range - IDE: PLSQL Developer

I would like to count the number of member records that fall within a specified date range based on the members effective and expiration dates and their 'elg_code'. I have posted the SQL for some sample data. What I would like to see returned is three columns of counts where the members eff_date exp_date fall within the date range specified by the SQL and have an Elg_code of ' ' (one blank space).
So, what I would like is all members with elg_code ' ' where there eff_dt and exp_dt range falls within APR 2012, MAY 2012 & JUN 2012. So, based on the sample data I posted, Mark, where his elg_code record is ' ', his eff_dt is 1/1/2011 and his exp_dt is within APR 2012 (4/30/2012). Mark's range falls within APR 2012, but not MAY or JUNE of 2012. Marty would tally for both APR and MAY since his eff_dt is before MAY 2012 and his exp is within MAY 2012. etc..
Based on the data below, the results should look like:
APR MAY JUN
4 3 2
APR should have FRANK, MARK, MARTY, MARY,
MAY should have FRANK, MARTY, MARY
JUN should have FRANK and MARY
NOAM and JEAN should not show up as their records with elg_code ' ' do not have eff_dt and exp_dt records that fall within APR-JUN 2012.
So what I tried without success as it appears I have some kind of Cartesian issue (?), is:
select count(m1.mbr_name) APR,
count(m2.mbr_name) MAY,
count(m3.mbr_name) JUN
from mbr2 m1,
mbr2 m2,
mbr2 m3
where m1.eff_dt < '01-may-2012'
and m1.exp_dt > '01-apr-2012'
and m1.elg_code = ' '
and m2.eff_dt < '01-jun-2012'
and m2.exp_dt > '01-may-2012'
and m2.elg_code = ' '
and m3.eff_dt < '01-jul-2012'
and m3.exp_dt > '01-jun-2012'
and m3.elg_code = ' '
Below is the DML
Thanks for any assistance!
create table mbr2 (mbr_name varchar(10), grpid varchar(1), eff_dt date, exp_dt date, elg_code varchar(1))

insert into mbr2 values ('MARK', 'A', to_date('01-01-2011', 'MM-DD-YYYY'), to_date('04-30-2012', 'MM-DD-YYYY'), ' ')

Hi,
Here's one way:
WITH     all_months     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL                         AS month_num
     ,     ADD_MONTHS (first_month, LEVEL - 1)     AS month_begin
     ,     ADD_MONTHS (first_month, LEVEL)           AS next_month_begin
     FROM     (
               SELECT TO_DATE ('04-01-2012', 'MM-DD-YYYY')     AS first_month
               ,     TO_DATE ('06-01-2012', 'MM-DD-YYYY')     AS last_month
               FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     level     <= 1 + MONTHS_BETWEEN (last_month, first_month)
SELECT    COUNT (CASE WHEN month_num = 1 THEN 1 END)     AS month_1
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN month_num = 2 THEN 1 END)     AS month_2
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN month_num = 3 THEN 1 END)     AS month_3
FROM       all_months a
JOIN       mbr2        m ON a.month_begin       <= m.exp_dt
                        AND a.next_month_begin      > m.eff_dt
WHERE     m.elg_code      = ' '
;This assumes you know how many months will be in the output. If you want to derive that from the data, or to give the columns meaningful aliases (such as APR-2011 instead of MONTH_1), then you'll need dynamic SQL (to get separate columns for each month) or string aggregation (if you don't mind one big VARCHAR2 column, formatted to look like several columns). See {message:id=3527823}
If you don't mind modifying the query a little every time you run it, you can hard-code the number of columns and the month names. In the main query, put exactly as many lines as you need, with the alias you want at the end. That is, instead of
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN month_num = 2 THEN 1 END)     AS month_2say
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN month_num = 2 THEN 1 END)     AS may_2012I'm not sure exactly what the problem was with the query you posted. It looks like this site cut off parts of the query.
One thing that is definitely a mistake is that you're comparing DATE columns to VARCHAR2 literals. Never compare a DATE to a VARCHAR2; compare DATEs to DATEs (or compare VARCHAR2s to VARCHAR2s). So instead of
and m1.exp_dt > '01-apr-2012'you should say
and m1.exp_dt > TO_DATE ('01-apr-2012', 'dd-mon-yyyy')Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that's very helpful.

Date range validity evaluation in BRM table

Lectori salutem, Gurus salutem,
I'm using 7.3 sp03. I would like to achieve the following with BRM (bit simplified):
a parameter, ABC, is passed to a ruleSetService, and needs to be evaluated.
The table is as follows:
ABC startDate endDate Value
1 01-01-2011 31-12-2011 A
1 01-01-2012 31-12-2012 B
2 01-01-2011 31-12-2011 X
4 01-01-2012 31-12-2012 Y
When ABC-value '1' is passed to the ruleSetService in the table the first row needs to be selected. CurrentDate (24-11-2011) is in between 01-01-2011 and 31-12-2011, making this the valid row. The value that should be returned is A.
Beginning of next year it should change to B.
How should I set this up in BRM?
Thanks in advance!
Martijn.

Hi Martijn,
Appreciate that you've simplifiied the scenario... but do you have any idea how many of these entries you are likely to have in total as that may change the answer.
You have a couple of choices that might work here...
1. You could a decision table... to hold your values (i.e. ABC and date range as conditions, value as action) and use the rule that evaluates the decision table to pick up the current date for the comparison. e.g. date conditions would be "greater than than 01-01-2011", "less than 31-12-2011", etc.
2. Alternatively, if the plan is to have a simple end of year change over, you could use Effectivities (in the Project Resources of the rules project) to determine which values are selected and use a decision table or even just a rule script to determine the value.
But the thing is... HOW you organise your rule is going to depend a lot on:
a) How many entries in total do you expect
b) Is there a nice neat cutover of all ABC values at the same time or do effective date ranges vary a lot between different ABC values
c) Who's responsible for maintaining these and if multiiple people are responsible do you need to organise your rule to cater for that? E.g. Are different people responsible for different ABC entries
Does that help at all?
Regards,
Jocelyn
