Format of Extracted Year

Post Author: Dorothy
CA Forum: Formula
I cannot for the life of me get what is probably a very simple thing to work. I have extracted the year from printdate as such,
Year({@PrintDate}) (by the way @PrintDate = PrintDate). I have formatted Year as a number (1123). When I put the Year in an if then formula
it prints out as 2,007.00. Can anyone help me with this? Please help soon. I have another post that did not get answered "Return by Date Problem"

Three things you can try:
1. Depending on the result of the IF-THEN statement, try formatting it as a number just as you did for the Year.
2. Use totext function to convert the result to text i.e. totext({@year},0,'','')
3. Try changing the display string (right click, format field, common tab and x-2 next to display string) to display using totext as above.

Extracting year and date

I am working on the following query
SELECT report_date, EXTRACT (MONTH FROM report_date) FROM program_details;
SELECT a.customer_id, a.report_date as change_date
FROM program_details AS a
LEFT JOIN program_details AS b
on a. customer_id = b. customer_id
AND EXTRACT (MONTH FROM a.report_date) = EXTRACT (MONTH FROM b.report_date) - 1
AND EXTRACT (YEAR FROM a.report_date) = EXTRACT (YEAR FROM b.rpt_date )
WHERE a.code_status = 'Gold' and b.code_status = 'Plat'
AND a.report_date >= '2007-12-01 00:00:00.0'
AND a.report_date < '2009-01-01 00:00:00.0'
I have a table with customer id, yyyy-mm-dd for many years , and status as gold silver or platinum. and I need to work out the month that the status changed, and return a field as year-month.
I am trying to extract the year and date that a customer changed from gold to plat but I am not sure how date arithmetic works. I need to have output like : customer_id and year-month but I keep just getting month.
I know this is vague, but if you could help with the part of the query that delivers year and month back that would be great.
Thank you very much

Plz help me regarding this.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Vineel,
You can use the first four chars of the date field..
w_year = w_date(4)
Else, you can use the FM:
GET_CURRENT_YEAR

Extracting Year from the date field

Hi,
I want to extract year from the date field... I've tried following code but got the error

What error did you get?
maybe your column name is wrong? Is it really A_somthing? This is possible but slightly unusual.
also possible
select extract(Year from sysdate) from dual;
/* with your table and column */

Extract Year (only) from Date Field and Display in Text Field

I need to extract the year from a user entered date field and display the year in a text field. Can someone help me with the correct script to do this?

Hi,
that's quite easy to realize with FormCalc.
In you date fields exit event add the following code:
textField1 = Num2Date( Date2Num($.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY"), "YYYY")
Note: This sample assumes that your date field formats the date with "MM/DD/YYYY". You may have to change the pattern to make it work at your end.

What is the best video format for 50+ year movie storage?

Objective: In what video format should I store my family movies on an external drive? I want these family movies to be viewable by future generations in 50 - 70 years, so what video format / type is recommended?
Background: I have an iMac, OS X 10.7.5. I use IMovie '11, version 9.0.8. My iMac has an internal DVD player and burner and iDVD is installed.
I have dozens of family movies (total 80+ hours) dating back nearly 70 years. All these films have been digitized and I have imported many of them into iMove as events, then I edit them with title pages, transitions, music, etc. When a "project" is completed (Between 1.5 - 2.0 hours or less) I share the project to iDVD where I burn it to a DVD. Within iMovie I save each of these projects (on the internal Mac HD, which consumes very little space) and on an external drive I save for each project:
- a disc image (DVD.img) whose size is about 4.5 GB
- a copy of the iMovie project, whose size is about 60 MB (the original project is in iMovie, in the Mac internal drive)
- the original digitized raw movies imported into iMovie as events and are formatted as .mov (these are large size at 8 GB - 20 GB each)
- the finalized and fully edited iDVD which is formatted as DVD.dvdproj (these are very large size at 20 - 24 GB each)
As you can see with all these disc images, projects, events and DVD projects stored on my external drive I am at nearly 1 TB of storage, on my way to 1.75 before I comple editing all movies.
While I manage pretty well the editing my movies within iMovie, and how to create an iDVD project and then burn a DVD, I have no understanding of the technical aspects of the multitude of different movie formats in the market nor of Quick Time and its format.
I am told that DVDs will only last 10 - 15 years and then begin to deteriorate. And iMovie '11 won't be arond 50 years from now. Nor will the current / recent versions of iDVD. Thus, for posterity:
1. In what format should I store my family movies on an external drive so they can be viewed by family members 50 - 70 years from now? (best chance for viewing, since we don't know what formats they will have then)
2. How do I convert from what I have (disc image, iMovie project, DVD project) to your recommended format?
Thank you,
HDP

There is no such format for movies or even Photographs. Frankly we can't guarantee the persistence of any format past the next 10 years, not to mind 50 - 70.
Codecs are being improved and created all the time, and this process will continue. In 50 years time we may still have .mov and .avi files, but the codecs that create the movies within will have changed.
One thing is reasonably sure: DVD will be as deader than floppy disks are now. Ditto Blue Ray. They're on the way out now, and in 10 years they'll be curiosities.
So, what's the solution:
Best I can suggest is to keep your movies on volatile media like Hard Disks (with back ups on other disks, or course). Progress will be evolutionary - as new formats come along there will be the option to migrate older data to these newer formats, and that's the trick. As always, when it comes to migration, the more data available the better the likely result, so keeping your movies in the least compressed versions possible seems a good approach.
That and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee someplaces, but nowhere fashionable.

Format for Fiscal Year Period 0FISCPER

Hi,
Im uploading the fiscal year period into BW infoobject 0FISCPER. Im uploading it in the format eg: 003.2005 but it is getting read into bw as 003.2000.
Im using Excel/ CSV file and the field is converted to Text.
Does anyone know what format I have to use to upload fiscal year period and get it in the format I want ?
ie 003.2005 ?
Regards,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
0FISCPER is a NUMC 7 infoobject. And it takes your 003.200 seven symbols leaving the last symbol. Though, the output format is length of 8.
A'm not sure if you are dealing with external format (in this case try to enter 0032005) or with internal (then try 2005003).
Best regards,
Eugene

Extract Year/Month/ Week From Date

BW Experts,
I have a Time Char in a New OSD i am developing. Say the Time char is 0Req_date. This 0req_date is updated using some calculation in my update rules (Say 0Req_Date = Act_dl_dt - Conf_date). Now I have to extract month/ year/ week and populate Time Chars 0REQ_MONTH, 0REQ_YEAR and 0REQ_WEEK respectively from 0REQ_DATE. Can I do this via respective rules to 0REQ_MONTH, 0REQ_YEAR and 0REQ_WEEK in the update rules. My concern is as OREQ_DATE itself is a calculated field, can month/year/week be extracted correctly? Hope I have put the question across understandably. Help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
It can be done...you can either put the code for all these derivations in the Start Routine of the update rule, making sure that the 0REQ_Date is calculated before the others. Or you can also calculate just the 0REQ_DATE in the start routine and use the individual update routines to populate the other time chars.
Processing using the Start Routine is recommended for efficiency and better performance.
Hope this helps...

Extract year from date and exclude Null

I have a calculated column that will pull the year out of a date column:
=TEXT([Date Impact Identified],"yyyy")
This formula works fine but if the column is blank then it returns the value as 1899. I have tried several variations of ISBLANK or ="" but nothing has worked so far. I think I am putting the formula in the wrong order. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hello,
In order to save you weeding through other threads, here's what should work in your scenario:

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Extract a year from a date

I have a date
[Period Closed].[Period Closed] in a cube. This table contain only one values which might be a certain date. Not today's date.
I have another date table where I have to use the date value from [Period Closed].[Period Closed] and pass in to another date table so that I can drive off all my data based on the date value. There is no hierarchy in [Period Closed].[Period
Closed] table. How can I extract year and month from [Period Closed].[Period Closed] so that I can pass to main date table.

Try something like this:
StrToMember('[Other Date].[Other
Date]&[' + Format(CDate([Period
Closed].[Period Closed]), 'yyyyMMdd') + ']')
This assumes that the key for [Other
Date].[Other Date]
is an integer with YYYYMMDD.
Hope this helps.
