First and Last Date. Is is possible in Essbase?

Hello All, Here are the dimensions in my outline: - User - Application - Dates - Measures (Count, FirstLoginDate, LastLoginDate) I am trying to create a report in Essbase that shows the first and last date that each user accessed each Essbase application. I created an ETL process that builds a relational table with one record for each unique combination of User/Application/Day where a user was logged into an application. This process gets its source data from the Essbase application log files. I am loading a count of 1 to each intersection of User/Application/Day. I also want to add the first and last day to the cube but can not figure out how. 1) Is there an easier way to get at the source data then the application log files? 2) If the application log files are the way to go, how do I indicate in the cube what the first and last login days are for each combination of User/Application? I was thinking of loading the serial dates to the FirstLoginDate and LastLoginDate measures. The trouble I am having is where to load the dates data. Do I load it to level 0 (individual dates) and then use time balance to get the dates up to the higher levels (month, year) or load it at the higher levels? If I should load it at the higher levels, do I assume correctly I will need to create another relational table with one record for each User/Application/Month and User/Application/Year that shows the first and last dates? Any other ideas? Thank you in advance, Bill Handelman 847-989-1758 [email protected]

While you may have natural ordering in your date dimensions, Essbase doesn't handle first and last dates well. The one area where ther is at least some funcionality in date manipulation is inattribute dimensions, however, the easy use there allows only one date attribute using normal date processing. It gets a great deal more complex using two dates. Look up the DBAG references to the date type of attribute dimensions, you might find it a partial solution to your problem. If you go the serial date method, load at level 0 and want to use time balance to bring the values up, you still need a time dimension. If I were designing something, I might use the first access date as a time dimension and the last access date in an attribute dimension, but I'm rambling rather than analyzing. In any case, look at the date type attribute dimension as one possible option for your cube.

Hi,
Use the below FM to find the Last day of month and them u can easily calculate the first day.
DATA : v_startdate TYPE sy-datum.
DATA : v_enddate TYPE sy-datum.
DATA : v_temp TYPE dats.
v_temp = sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'

How to find first and last date of a fiscal week using SQL

Hello,
I want information about FISCAL Week, means a Week based on ISO standard. I know format strings ‘IW’ or ‘IYYY’ gives fiscal week and fiscal year respectively from a given date. But I want to find the first and last date of a fiscal week. Say suppose I have a fiscal week is 2, and fiscal year is 2008, how to find the start and end date of the given fiscal week.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciable.
Thanks,

The following query evaluate the begin of a fisical week, where &year and &week are respectively the year and week you want to calculate.
To evaluate the end of the week you have to add 6.
Note that my database is set to have monday as day number 1 of the week, and sunday as day number 7; if your database settings are different you should modify the query accordingly.

Edited by: davide gislon on 08-Jan-2009 07:19Your query does nothing you say it does. TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') returns first day of the current month for year &year. And the only reason it returns January 1, &year is that we are currently in January:
SQL> select TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') from dual
2 /
Enter value for year: 2005
old   1: select TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') from dual
new   1: select TO_DATE('2005','YYYY') from dual
TO_DATE('

2 /

SQL> But even if TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') would always return January 1, &year, or you would fix it to TO_DATE('0101&year','MMDDYYYY') it still would be wrong. ISO week rules are
If January 1 falls on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, then the week including January 1 is the last week of the previous year, because most of the days in the week belong to the previous year.
If January 1 falls on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, then the week is the first week of the new year, because most of the days in the week belong to the new year.Therefore, next year:

Getting first and last dates of a month

Jello all,
I am really sorry I am posting this topic here, not actually owned by this forum but in fundamental forum i am not getting it attended.
I am generating monthly, quartelry and yearly reports, for which I need to get first and last dates of a given Month taking in to account leap year. I searched the API and docs for Calendar class. I could not find any useful methods / fields. I wonder this being a very common requirement, how SUN has not provided these essential features. I still feel, it must be some where. Please help me and reply. Also if you came across any other forum for util package, let me know.
Thanks
Varde

First and Last date of any Month.

Hi Friends,
I have 2 fields in my table
FROM DATE & TO DATE
User can enter any date in these two fields, but at time of commit i want to change the FROM DATE to the first date of the Month user have entered. And for TO DATE i want to change the last date of the month.
For Example :
User Enters-
FROM DATE 12-Mar-2003
TO DATE 27-Jun-2003
I want to change these date to:
FROM DATE 01-Mar-2003
TO DATE 30-Jun-2003
How can I write a database function or procedure to control this thing.
Please help.
Best regards,
Imran Baig

It depends on your requirements, but I usually use TRUNC(date, 'D')
to get the first day(Sunday) of the week, because TRUNC(date, 'W')
returns the same day of the week as the first day of the month.
See http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a85397/function.htm#80101

To display first and last dates of a month

I have the date format in 10 Mar 10.
My requirement is when ever I select the any date in the dashboard for whole month it should display whole month results.
I got query in obiee101.blogspot.com.but if I use that sometimes it is not returning the last day results. Any body please give me the query to display results for first day and lastday?
Ex:if I select any day in the drop down of the prompt it should display whole month results
If I select either 1 mar 10,2 mar 10,30 mar 10.....
It should give the results for whole month of march.
Can you please provide me the query for last month also?
If I select march date in date print want to display whole march results in one column,previous month results in other column
Anybody help me to get this done?

Yes, you are correct. In John's SQL for last day of the month, if the "last day of the previous month" ends on the 30th, than "adding one month" will result in the 30th of the following month. But if the following month has 31 days, you miss that day.
Use this for the last day of the current month.
TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH,1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)*-1, CURRENT_DATE))))
The above SQL will ensure that you will always get the last day of the "current month" regardless of how many days are in the previous or current month.

Select first and last records in grouped results - Oracle 11g

Say I have the following information in an Oracle 11g table:
Qty

Date and time
20
00000000000000001
12-JAN-14 00:02

12-JAN-14 00:20
30
00000000000000002
14-JAN-14 00:29
I would like to write a query that would return the following:
Qty
Production order
First
Last
80
00000000000000001
12-JAN-14 00:02
13-JAN-14 00:09
120
00000000000000002
12-JAN-14 00:11
14-JAN-14 00:29
That is, the sum of the Qty column grouped by Production order, and the date/time of the first and last records for each Production order.
I came up with a query that yielded this result:
Qty
Production order
First
Last
80
00000000000000001
12-JAN-14 00:02
14-JAN-14 00:29
120
00000000000000002
12-JAN-14 00:02
14-JAN-14 00:29
Which means that the First and Last columns show the overall first and last date / time of the whole table. Please note that this is a dummy table. Sorry I am now allowed to write the actual query
I came up with since work policies do not allow me to share it. Also, I tried with windowing functions such as rank()and row_number() but my user does not have enough privileges to do so.
Any help or hints will be greatly appreciated.

Due to the fact that Oracle does not record the rows in any particular order, it would be wrong that the "first date" would be the first row processed by the query.
Therefore you would have to supply some other column if you do not want to consider the table as ordered by date.
Also, any analytical functions will need you to supply the "order by" and if its the date, then just a simple query will do:

I would post what I have tried so far but I have been trying many different types of queries over the last few days. In short I need the employees first and last reads for each date. They could have many entries per date or just 1. I am certain that this
is a trivial thing for a SQL expert but not trivial for me :).
Thank you in advance!

Thank you!
This is almost what I need. The LocationGUID has to be included in the output. When I include it, I have to put it in the Group By clause. When I do that the reads are based on the LocationGUID (see below).
** I added a few more data entries and included the LocationGUID in the output.

Query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range

Hi,
query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range
according to filter:
mobile_no : 989.....
call_date_from : 25-april-2013
call_date_to : 26-april-2013
Please help

Hi,
It sounds like you want a Top-N Query , something like this:
WITH got_nums AS
 SELECT table_x.* -- or list columns wanted
 , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date ) AS a_num
 , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date DESC) AS d_num
 FROM table_x
 WHERE mobile_no = 989
 AND call_date >= DATE '2013-04-25'
 AND call_date < DATE '2013-04-26' + 1
SELECT * -- or list all columns except a_num and d_num
FROM got_nums
WHERE 1 IN (a_num, d_num)
;This forum is devoted to the SQL*Plus and iSQL*Plus front ends. This question doesn't have anything to do with any front end, does it? In the future, you'll get better response if you post questions like this in the PL/SQL.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

For example does it really start on monday? And will it always start on monday?
And what day does the 'week' end on for 2010-12-29? In some businesses it will end on 2010-12-31 (friday)

Is it possible to select multiple layers by selecting first and last layers?

I frequently get Illustrator files in that have individual objects such as paths on individual layers that could be grouped to make the layers more concise. I find that I have to shift click each individual layer to select it to eventually group it. At times, I have 25 or so layers that I need to select. Is there a way to select the first and last layer in the layers palette, and have Illustrator select all layers in between?

Katrina,
And I guess it's the way I work. 1) I routinely select objects by selecting them from the layers palette, and not the canvas, so that I can't accidentally move an object that is the clients artwork. I prefer to work this way, as I consider it "safer". (I lock layers I'm not using) I routinely run into artists work that for instance, converted fonts to outline, and now each compound layer that is an individual letter is an object on it's own layer. 2) I need things grouped together and titled so that if I need to come back to this file and quickly fix something on press, I can tell what layer holds what object.
3) Therefore, I frequently need to select objects in a two mile long (slight exaggeration ) list of layers/sublayers and group them, retaining them in their same layers in the event an effect has been applied at the top hiearchy of that layer.
It would be great if a key, or combination of keys, would allow me to select the top object, scroll down and select the last object, and have Illustrator select all between those two.
If you create and use selections as suggested in post #12, you do have to select individual objects when they share layers with other objects (but you can select whole layers as well) in exactly the way you are used to (1), but you only have to do it once instead of having to repeat it (3), and you have them collected with a title so you can find them again (2).
At least it is part of the way.

Format first and last record of result query

Hello
I have the following query
<tt>select 1 seq, 'This is First record' data from dual union all
select 2, 'Data ' || tname from tab union all
select 3, 'This was last record Last record' from dual
order by 1</tt>
When i spool this statement to a listfile with col seq noprint option i get:
This is First record
Data MLA_ACCESS_LIST
Data MLA_APPLICATIONS
Data MLA_VPD_PCK
Data MLA_VPD_TABLES
This was last record Last record
But i want:
This is First record MLA_ACCESS_LIST
Data MLA_APPLICATIONS
Data MLA_VPD_PCK
MLA_VPD_TABLES This was last record Last record
I tried it with 1 statement with usage of lead and lag, because first and last record have to differ from the other result records. But i get ORA-30484: missing window specification for this function
Is this possible with 1 statement or am i doomed to edit the results by myself?
Thanks Auke

select case row_number() over (order by tname)
when 1 then 'This is the First record '
end || tname ||
case row_number() over (order by tname desc)
when 1 then ' This was the last record'
end
from tab
order by tname
