Fiscal Calendar month

I am trying to create a function within my select statement that will return the fiscal month number. My company's fiscal calendar starts on October 1. The first problem I had is I wasn't sure if there was any easy way to just say if the current month is
X return Y. Instead, I had to use the full date, because the function I knew of would just say "When date is between A and B..." The problem there is I will have to update it every so often with new years, and removing past years so as to avoid
the query getting too large. Is there any way to instead just use the month? Then, I could just say "If current month is X return Y," and it wouldn't matter the year. Either way, below is what I used. When I try to preview it in Visual Studio 2008,
I am getting an error saying "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value."
I've seen some questions here regarding fiscal calendars in the past, but I've never understood the answers people have given. I have found that a little confusing, so I was hoping this simpler (even if not necessarily ideal) solution I found would help.
Unfortunately, I am getting an error, so obviously it did not. Does anybody have any advice they can offer to get this to work?

Funny enough, I think I may have just answered my own question. I'm not sure why the above does not work, so I would still be interested to hear that if anybody can explain and offer another solution.
However, I realized I should be able to instead do something along the lines of:
CASE
WHEN MONTH(GETDATE()) = '10' THEN '1'
WHEN MONT(GETDATE()) = '11' THEN '2' END

I am just showing the first two months to give you the idea of wht I mean. Coincidentally, I have to run to a meeting and therefore cannot test this yet, but I will try it once I get back, and come back here to let folks know if it worked.

  • FM to get previous fiscal month/year and calendar month/year for a date.

    Hi All,
    I am having a requirement to extract some data based on either the previous fiscal month/year or the previous calendar month/year. There is no company code input to find the fiscal/calendar month/year.
    At selection screen, user can select either fiscal or calendar selection.
    Based on the selection, the data will be extracted.
    For the system date, we need to calculate previous fiscal month/year or previous calendar month/year and populate the calculated data back to the selection-screen.
    Can you one of you please suggest an FM to find previous fiscal month/year and previous calendar month/year.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards
    Gowthami

    Hi Gowthami,
    You can use following function module to calculate previous / next day or month or year.
       call function '/SAPHT/DRM_CALC_DATE'
          exporting
            date      = sy-datum
            days      =
            months    =
            sign      = '-'
            years     =
          importing
            calc_date = .
    Here, you can give '-' to sign, if you want previous day / month / year.
    Here, you can give '+' to sign, if you want next day / month / year.
    And depending upon your requirement, you can pass suitable value to days / month / year.
    e.g. To calcualte last month,
       call function '/SAPHT/DRM_CALC_DATE'
          exporting
            date      = sy-datum
            days      =
            months    = 1
            sign      = '-'
            years     =
          importing
            calc_date = wv_prev_month.
    so it will give '23-01-2008' . Then convert it in the required format as per your requirement using string function concatenate.
    Hope this help you.

  • Hot to select last month sales using fiscal calendar

    Hi All,
    I have the following query listed below

    Hi Naomi,
    Thanks for the reply as i was waiting for the answer i tried this one and looks like its working as our calendar month is always +1 of fiscal month

  • SSRS Expression Current month in a Fiscal calendar dimension from a SSAS cube

    How to create an expression for a default SSRS parameter to a SSAS cube when using i Fiscal Year calendar - and where I want to show current Calendar month and year (for example February 2014) 
    This is an example of my Time dimension for February 2014:
    [Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[2013].&[10]
    The fiscal calendar goes from May - May - which means that April 2014
    would look like this:
    [Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[2013].&[12]
    and May 2014 would look like this:
    [Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[2014].&[01]
    Please advise

    Hi HCMJ,
    To represent the fiscal calendar, you shift the current date by 4 months back. Then you can do:
    ="[Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[" & Year( DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "].&[" & Month( DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "]"
    It just gets the year and month of '4 months ago'. I have not tested it, but I guess it should work.

  • Issues with statistical modeling in calendar months vs 13 fiscal periods

    In our demand planning, we plan at the fiscal period level (13 fiscal periods across a year - not matching with calendar months or year).  We are having issues (strange results) trying to run the statistical modeling at the fiscal period level versus the calendar month level.  Is there a way to run the stat modeling over fiscal periods rather than calendar months?  Can we run stat modeling over a specific date range rathn than including the current month?

    Hi Stephen, I guess I can assume the following:
    1) In the master forecast profile, you have maintained the period indicator and the fiscal year variant
    2) You are choosing a forecast strategy in univariate profile (?) that makes use of seasonality, and you are trying to maintain the number of periods in a season as 13 (in our case, our periods are custom, but there are still 12 periods, so different from your case)
    3) Your history horizon in master forecast profile is more than the number of periods in the season i.e. history has more than 13 periods of data
    If above things are already done and you still face issue when you try to use 13 periods in a season, looks to me like a SAP bug, and it would be best to raise an OSS message to SAP.

    Fiscal calendar closing dates for FY2008-2010.
    ‘Fiscal’ month and ‘Fiscal’ year closing dates will always be on Saturday so
    the fiscal month will include either 4 or 5 complete weeks and fiscal
    year will be 52 or 53 complete weeks. ‘Fiscal’ months and ‘Fiscal’
    years do not close in the middle of a week as ‘calendar’ months and ‘calendar’ years may do.
    For example, Fiscal April 2008 started on 3/30/2008 (Sunday, the day after the close of Fiscal March 2008)
    and ended on 4/26/2008 (Saturday). Fiscal Year 2008 started on 9/30/2007 (Sunday)

  • Multiple Fiscal Calendars Displayed in Subject Area Time Dimension

    Hi all,
    Thanks for taking the time to review my post.
    Environment
    Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6 Financial Analytics
    Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10
    Query
    The Time dimension on my Subject Areas (Financial Analytics) are showing more period data than I expected.
    I have configured one Enterprise Calendar (WPG_Calendar) that I set in the DAC parameters - $$GBL_CALENDAR_ID (WPG_Calendar~Month) and $$GBL_DATASOURCE_NUM_ID (4). The warehouse Enterprise Calendar table W_ENT_PERIOD_D is populating with the periods as configured in EBS for that calendar(Jan-09, Feb-0, Mar-09, etc). I noticed that the Multiple Fiscal W_MCAL_PERIOD_D table is also been populated with the Enterprise Calendar data PLUS, the Seeded EBS calendar (JEBE_MONTH_VAT) and a generated Calendar that appears to be a 5-4-5-4 Calendar (Jan-01-09, Jan-02-09, Jan-03-09, etc). The trouble is these W_MCAL_PERIOD_D periods and dates are all coming through in my Time dimensions and make it confusing for the Answers Users when choosing a Time dimension.
    Also, for columns W_CURRENT_MCAL_PERIOD_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_QTR_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_YEAR_CODE there are rows with Current, Previous and Next populated that span these different periods as you would expect, but I'm concerned these return multiple rows for Filters Current Fiscal Quater, Current Fiscal Year.
    Funnily enough, W_CURRENT_MCAL_MONTH_CODE has nothing populated (NULLs for all rows).
    Your comments are most welcome.
    Kind Regards,
    Gary.

    The filtering of the calendar can be done directly on the logical layer.
    for the logical dimension "Dim - Date Fiscal Calendar", Logical Table Source "Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period"
    set the content as :
    "Oracle Data Warehouse".Catalog.dbo.Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period.MCAL_CAL_WID = VALUEOF("MY_MCAL_WID")
    and setup the repository variable MY_MCAL_WID to match with your calendar wid.
    If your calendar depends on any context then you can use session variable instead of repository variable

  • Fiscal calendars in time series

    we are using fiscal year variant for calendars where year start with November 25 and ends with November 24th with 12 periods.
    Trouble is now we are having time bucket profiles where period considered for Fall and Spring seasons.
    Spring Season YS (8/4 Months 2 Seas. FY Variant)Calendar month Period is November – June (Actual season starts from December to May)
    For spring season the values are correct.
    For Fall season Calendar month Period is April end day/May – December (Actual season starts from June to November)
    I am getting correct value for 4 months end period: where April ends that is the 1st period.
    2nd Period from May to December complete and also they are adding previous year January in 2nd period.
    However December comes into next fiscal year.
    For 2017 assumption is 1ST period is up to April 30th and second period is from May 1st to December 31st.

  • Setup time dimension in some different fiscal calendars

    I have the different fiscal calendars.
    Then, I wanna compare the current month fiscal amount and the previous month fiscal amount with AGO function.
    The calendars are like below.
    Calendar A : fiscal month start April
    Calendar B : fiscal month start January
    In this case, how should I define the chronological key in the time dimension?
    For example, I try the below setup in the calendar period hierarchy.
    Year 2008
    Half 1H 2H
    Quarter 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q
    Month 1Q = {Apr-08 in CAL_A, May-08 in CAL_A, Jul-08 in CAL_A, Jan-08 in CAL_B, Feb-08 in CAL_B, Mar-08 in CAL_B}
    and some.
    In this examle, the number of MONTH level members are 24.
    Then I make a column for sort.
    The sort number is below.
    For CAL_A
    Month SortNo.
    Apr-08 1
    May-08 2
    Jun-08 3
    Jul-08 4
    Aug-08 5
    Sep-08 6
    Oct-08 7
    Nor-08 8
    Dec-08 9
    Jan-09 10
    Feb-09 11
    Mar-09 12
    For CAL_B
    Month SortNo.
    Jan-09 13
    Feb-09 14
    Mar-09 15
    Apr-08 16
    May-08 17
    Jun-08 18
    Jul-08 19
    Aug-08 20
    Sep-08 21
    Oct-08 22
    Nor-08 23
    Dec-08 24
    In this case, if I try to get the previous month of Jan-09 in CAL_B with AGO function, the system get Mar-09 for CAL_A. Because the record of Mar-09 for CAL_A is 12 in SortNo. column.
    As far as possible, I wanna use AGO function.
    Does anyone have good ider for this problem?
    Edited by: user3532462 on 2008/08/28 2:57

    Hi,
    I guess it's easier to setup two different time dimensions; one for calendar A and one for calendar B. Use aliases in the Physical Layer.
    Good Luck,

    I have tried to use sameperiodlastyear but there is an error saying that this function cannot be used for non contiguous dates. DATEADD is given the same error...
    Could anyone help me getting the right measure expressions for [Previous Period Value]?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Joss

    Hi Joss,
    In SQL Server Analysis Services, we can can compare revenue with the hierarchy periods (year, month, day) by using the PARALLELPERIOD function, and now you want to compare with custom periods. (NOTE: We cannot compare it with the PARALLELPERIOD function
    since
    PARALLELPERIOD function returns a member from a prior period in the same relative position as a specified member. So if the first time span not equal to the second one (such as the first period is 3 days, and the second period is 2 month)).  Here
    is a sample query about PARALLELPERIOD function for your reference.
    with
    set Hotels as
    [Hotels].[Hotel ID].&[1015],
    [Hotels].[Hotel ID].&[5640],
    [Hotels].[Hotel ID].&[8800]
    set Period as [Arrival Date].[Date].[Month].&[2012]&[1]:[Arrival Date].[Date].[Month].&[2012]&[12]
    member [Arrival Date].[Date].[0] as sum({ Period })
    member [Total Amount N-1] as (PARALLELPERIOD([Arrival Date].[Date].[Year], 1, [Arrival Date].[Date].[Year].&[2012]), [Measures].[Total Amount])
    select
    [Measures].[Total Amount],
    [Measures].[Total Amount N-1]
    } on 0,
    nonemptycrossjoin
    Hotels,
    Hotels.[Hotel].children,
    *{[Arrival Date].[Date].[0]}
    } on 1
    from [Booking_Cube]

  • Fiscal Calendar in Report Variant Dynamic Date Calculation

    We are switching from the standard calendar to a 4/4/5 calendar for our fiscal calendar. We have a number of batch reports that use dynamic date calculation in the variant to get Month-To-Date or Previous Month date ranges. Is there a way to convert these variants to use the new FiScal calendar instead of the regular calendar?

    thanks to answer , praveen.
    I know, VARI has name of FM , but not has Calendar ID.

  • Domains for calendar month and quarter

    Hi,
    I have a fields that are calendar month and quarter fields. Are there a domains for these fields for use to check the data to be filled or would Ihave to write code to check for the format before saving the data intot the table?
    Thanks
    Will

    Hi Arun,
    Actually I am referring to a table that I created a Z data element but I am using CHAR for types. But for the Fiscal Year I created the Z data element with the domain GJAHR. I am looking for a domains for creating Z data elements for the calendar month and quarter. I would suppose the domain GJAHR will check for the correct data format when I update my table to the field Z fiscal Year.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Change calendar month view in iOS 6.

    Can calendar month view be changed in iOS 6? I want my weekend to complete the weeks as I am able to do in iCal.

    I have the same problem. What happened?!?!?
    This is terrible and only occurred over last few days.
    If you hit magnifying glass goes to search, if you hit the computer icon goes as far as split screen.
    Tried to go under general to see if calendar view options but nothing....
    This is horrendous for people that have more than two items in a day ( how about the ENTIRE world)!!!
    Please fix!!!

  • How to merge calendar month dimension on dashboard??

    Hi All
    can anyone get me solution for below issue?
    Report : Vendor Performance
    Reporting tool : Dashboard
    Selection : Vendor1
    Requirement : Should show the report as you see in pic 1
    1. I have three different KPI's which has to be shown in same table like u see in Pic 1 and each KPI values comes from different queries.
    2. When i map this data to excel i am getting values as you see in Pic 2, Pic 3 and Pic 4.
    3. if you see Pic 1 (data comes from query 1)  there is data for JAN where as we dont have JAN data for Pic 2( or query 2).
    Now my question is how we can combine all this values as we see in Pic 1?.. I need all values to be shown for respective month. for example if there is no data for march and it should be blank.
    Can it be done on BW side if not in BO?\
    Note : I am able to done this on webi report by merging calendar month for all three query.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Vijay
    It can be on BW side also. Check with your BW team if all three queries are built on different infoproviders if yes built a multiprovider on top of all infoproviders and create a new query. This query will have calendar month and your KPI1, KPI 2 and KPI3 key figures in it.
    You can use this single query in Dashboard now.
    As suggested by others you can use webi merged dimension functionality or HLOOKUP also.

  • Multiple Fiscal Calendar in a single context

    Hi,
    I know that for each context we can only have one PAS database, as a result, only a single Fiscal Calendar definition for a each context.
    My question is: there is any way of creating a workaround for this? I need to have in a single context KPI's that use different fiscal calendar's
    Thanks in advance for the tips
    Regards
    Pedro

    Hi Bob,
    so, if I understand correctly there is only two options:
    1 - Have a single PAS database with a single fiscal calendar and use that in a single Context. The user's will have the option to then create specific reports for the metrics that should be displayed using a different Fiscal (using for that the different options in time that already exist in the reports component).
    2 - Create an individual PAS database for each Fiscal and have a different context for each of those databases.
    Is like this?
    If you think strategically, that shouldn't change the usefullness of Strategy Management, since the status of objectives and KPIs will still be driven off your current numbers, whatever the fiscal calendar.
    Yes, but for instance if we have KPI's that use Fiscal form Jan to Dec and other from Jul to Jun, when we select yearly data for 2009 for example, the information displayed for both is not the "same". For KPI1 is from Jul 2009 to Jun 2010 when it should be Jan 2009 to Dec 2009 (this for a database with Fiscal Calendar starting at "Jul"). Is not like this?
    PS: It's strange than no one have this problem in the past. Is not normal to have a customer that want to see in the same Scorecard/Context, KPI's that use different Fiscal calendar?
    Thanks in advance
