FM for First and Last Day_Current Month

Hello All,
Inorder to update the TVARV table, two new variables were needed which will get the First and Last Day of current month.
One FM i was able to find was BKK_GET_MONTH_LASTDAY which takes the Todays date and outputs the Last date of the month. IS there any FM for FIRSTDAY Current month....

Hi Sravan,
Following help may help you.
FM - BUILD_PERIOD_TABLE
code is mentioned below.
data: it_cperiod type table of range_prds with header line,
define one variable as range like -
ranges: r_cperiod for sy-datum,
CALL FUNCTION 'BUILD_PERIOD_TABLE'
 EXPORTING
 YEAR = <current year>
 TABLES
 PERIOD_TABLE = it_cperiod.
read table it_cperiod with key per_id = <current month>
refresh r_cperiod.
r_cperiod-sign = 'I'.
r_cperiod-option = 'BT'.
r_cperiod-low = it_cperiod-begda.
r_cperiod-high = it_cperiod-endda.
append r_cperiod.
Now, you can see begin and end of moth in r_cperiod.

How to split 'Full Name' into two columns for 'First' and 'Last' name??

Any ideas on how to achieve this? http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/split-names-by-using-convert-text-t o-columns-HA001149851.aspx

If:
A1 = Fistname Lastname
For firstname:
(First Name) B1 =SUBSTITUTE($A1," " & $C1, "")
For the Last name:
(Last Name) C1 =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","#",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
If
A1 = Lastname, Firstname

Let me know if you need one that traps multiple commas or middle names.

Adomacro,
you could do a function, like this
<cffunction name="getReportdates" returntype="struct"
hint="Given an arbitrary month and year, the function returns a
structure containing the first and last day of the previous
month">

<cfargument name="mnth" type="string" required="No"
default="#monthAsString(month(now()))#">
<cfargument name="yr" type="numeric" required="No"
default="#year(now())#">
<cfset firstDayOfGivenMonth = parseDateTime("1 " &
arguments.mnth & " #arguments.yr#")>
<cfset lastDayOfPreviousMonth =
dateAdd("d",-1,firstDayOfGivenMonth)>
<cfset numberOfDaysOfPreviousMonth =
daysInMonth(lastDayOfPreviousMonth)>
<cfset firstDayOfPreviousMonth =
dateAdd("d",-#numberOfDaysOfPreviousMonth#,firstDayOfGivenMonth)>
<cfset reportDates = structNew()>
<cfset reportDates.firstDayOfPreviousMonth =
firstDayOfPreviousMonth>
<cfset reportDates.lastDayOfPreviousMonth =
lastDayOfPreviousMonth>
<cfreturn reportDates>
</cffunction>


Given month: March

Thank you for useful post , How to change Culturinfo as a Turkish Month name ?
your's code is work if I use English month name But it was get error when use the turkish month name
If you are running your application on a Turkish Windows you could use the System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture:
int month = DateTime.ParseExact(monthName, "MMMM", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture).Month;
Or you could use create an explicit culture object like this:
System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("tr-TR");
int month = DateTime.ParseExact(monthName, "MMMM", ci).Month;

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

Get First and last day of Month..

Hi Friends,
I am trying to fetch First and Last day of a month and would like to implement that in the following code:
SELECT COALESCE(Date_A, Date_B, Date_C)
FROM dual
Here Date A and B are in Format of MM DD YYYY (March 14, 2008)
and Date C is like MM YYYY (March 2008)
How can I get the Date_C as March 1, 2008 OR March 31, 2008 format if Date A and B are NULL ?
Thanks!

Hi,
In my earlier message, I thought that you were starting with strings like '03 12 2009' and that you wanted to display them as 'March 12 2009'. If what you have is just the reverse, then just reverse the format strings in my first message. Add a comma, if you want one, in the appropriate format string.
I believe this is what you want:
COALESCE ( TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( Date_A, 'fmMonth DD YYYY'), 'MM DD YYYY')
         , TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( Date_B, 'fmMonth DD YYYY'), 'MM DD YYYY')
         , TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( Date_C, 'fmMonth YYYY'),    'MM DD YYYY')
         )Notice how, on the 3rd line, TO_DATE is called without DD in the format string:
TO_DATE ( Date_C, 'fmMonth YYYY')When you do this, the day defaults to the 1st of the month, so this is all you have to do to convert the VARCHAR2 'March 2009' to the DATE 01-Mar-2009.
If you want the last day of the month, not the first, when Date_C is chosen, then use LAST_DAY:
COALESCE ( TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( Date_A, 'fmMonth DD YYYY'), 'MM DD YYYY')
         , TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( Date_B, 'fmMonth DD YYYY'), 'MM DD YYYY')
         , TO_CHAR ( LAST_DAY ( TO_DATE ( Date_C
                                          , 'fmMonth YYYY'
             , 'MM DD YYYY'
         )

HT202058 iphone 6+ somehow has switched my name on emails into my nephew's name. We share a first and last name but not a middle name. For example, my name might be John George Doe and his name John James Doe. How did this happen? How do I correct it.

iphone 6+ somehow has switched my name on emails into my nephew's name. We share a first and last name but not a middle name. For example, my name might be John George Doe and his name John James Doe. How did this happen? How do I correct it.

So if the solution recommended by Ralph is not working then the other option is this:
Please make sure that the emails work correctly when signed into, on a computer
Then delete the account off your phone - you will not lose the emails
Reset the phone
Re add the account back in and see if that helps the issue
Thanks

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)

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.

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.

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

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,
Prince

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.
SELECT CASE TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('&year','YYYY'),'D')
WHEN '1' THEN TO_DATE('&year','YYYY')+((&week-1)*7)
WHEN '2' THEN TO_DATE('&year','YYYY')+((&week-1)*7-1)
WHEN '3' THEN TO_DATE('&year','YYYY')+((&week-1)*7-2)
WHEN '4' THEN TO_DATE('&year','YYYY')+((&week-1)*7-3)
WHEN '5' THEN TO_DATE('&year','YYYY')+((&week-1)*7+3)
WHEN '6' THEN TO_DATE('&year','YYYY')+((&week-1)*7+2)
WHEN '7' THEN TO_DATE('&year','YYYY')+((&week-1)*7+1)
END BEGIN_FISICAL_WEEK
FROM DUAL
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers,
Davide
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('
01-JAN-05
SQL> As soon as we roll into February:
SQL> alter system set fixed_date = '2009-2-1' scope=memory

SQL> select TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') from dual

TO_DATE('

SQL> alter system set fixed_date = NONE scope=both
2 /
System altered.
SQL> select sysdate from dual

SYSDATE
08-JAN-09
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:

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.

How can I display the first and last name using a paramater as employee ID?

Hi SAP,
I have a parameter that is called {? Employee ID}. What I want to do is display the first and last name based on the employee ID value entered in {? Employee ID} in the page header of the report. Right now, when I put the following formula in the page header only some pages get the right result while other pages dont....
if table.employeeid = {? Employee ID} then
table.firstname" "table.lastname
It appears as though if the first record in the details section on the beginning of each page happens to be the employee under {? Employee ID} then it prints it correctly, if it isn't I get a null value in the page header.
Anyone have any ideas?
Z

Hi Try this,
Whileprintingrecords;
if ={?EmpID} then
Also check the option "Default values for null" in the formula editor.

Vinay
