Hi.......
As already said....you can use 0F_ADAY.....
Usually global variables (as formula) are available for every query (and not specifically to a single provider)...in addition, you can find all the formulas when you build a new object (new formula) in your query (you can choose from formula hierarchy)...
Check this..........

Formula variable using date char - unable to use conditions
Hello Experts,
I am sure I am making a silly mistake here - but after spending lot of time I am unable to rectify this - please help if you can:
I basically want the report to show only latest employee actions for a selected period (usually month).
1. I am using formula variable that is based on 0CALDAY and defined as number.
2. A calculated keyfigure uses this formula variable. Both calculated keyfigure and CALDAY char are included in the report / navigation.
3. There is a condition defined using calculated keyfigure. No matter what logic I use, I just cannot use calculated keyfigure to filter records on the report. My original idea was to use Top N - 1 with char combination as 'Employee' to get me the latest employee records for each employee.
Can anyone help spot where I am going wrong?
Thanks.I haven't looked at that, but as a first guess idea- why not use the picker to get a date, then save it as a number of seconds from a given date?
See:
dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:
Creates and returns an NSDate object set to the given number of seconds from the first instant of 1 January 1970, GMT.
+ (id)dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:(NSTimeInterval)seconds
Or you could store it as a string, but I think the number would be easier. -
Formula variable for date in report
Hi All,
I have to display the last date value of a particular date in the report.
For a better understanding,
I have Customer, Equipment, Service date, Amount
In the report, I have to display
Customer, Equipment, Last Service date, Last Service Amount.
I have created a formula variable (Formula variable for Service date) for Service date with Replacement path.
Replace Variable with Infoobject, Replace with Key, Dimension dates.
And in Key figures, I have created a formula (Last Service date) with Last value in the Aggregation using the "Formula variable for Service date".
The Last Service date is displayed as 'X' in the report since the Service date is not in the row. I cannot have the service date in the row either (not even by hiding the display).
Kindly tell me how to rectify this problem.
Thanks and Regards
Adhira Anand.The X is appearing because, with the drill downs you have added, you have more than 1 date value to choose from when you attempt to aggregate.
Have you tried using APD instead of exception aggregation?
Have you built the exception aggregation calculated key figure globally or just locally (i.e. as a structure element)? It must be built globally to work properly. -
Condition formula variable on date key figure
Hello, I would be grateful for any help on this
I want to have a condition that has a user input formula variable
But the Key Figure on which I want to base the condition is a Date
And when you create the formula variable it allows only the following Dimensions :
Amount
Number
Price
Quantity
ie Date is not one of the allowable Dimensions - is there any way round this apart from an Exit variable ?
thanks
JonHi,
You have to create a formula variable with replacement path based on the date you want.
so that you can get the date for calculation.so you can apply condition.

Formula Variable for Date/year not possible
Hi, I have a query where I want to create a formula variable for a year that I can use in a user exit to populate other variables. When I go to create a formula variable there is not option for a date or year variable. I only see Amount; Quantity; Price; Number. Is it possible just to create a formula variable for a year input without having a year time characteristic in the query?
Thanks!I just ended up creating a Formual Variable as a number. Thank You

Formula variable - Maximum Date in result output
Hello Guys,
Scenario -
Data in Cube
*Reseller Sales Date*
RS1 01.01.2010
RS1 01.01.2011
RS1 01.01.2012
RS2 01.01.2008
RS2 01.01.2009
RS2 01.01.2010
Required Output - Display one record for each Reseller with recent Date.
*Reseller Sales Date*
RS1 01.01.2012
RS2 01.01.2010
What I did till now --->
Created a Formula and included a Formula Variable (replacement Path ref char - Sales Date) hence I got the date as keyfigure.
Reseller Sales Date Sales Date Formula
*RS1 01.01.2010 201,00,101*
*RS1 01.01.2011 201,10,101*
*RS1 01.01.2012 201,20,101*
*RS2 01.01.2008 200,80,101*
*RS2 01.01.2009 200,90,101*
*RS2 01.01.2010 201,00,101*
For the Sales Date Formula (Calculation tab - Calculate result as Maximum) to display the result as maximum.
The issue is that when I remove the Sales Date from Drilldown the Sales Date Formula display X. I was expecting the result row to be displayed i.e the maximum value for RS1 and RS2.
Can you guide where I am going wrong... or any other method to achieve the above output is appreciated.
-AmitHi,
Through replacement path you can achieve this.
On row side put *Reseller.
on Column side create a formula(and on Aggregation Tab: Exception Aggregation: Last Value, Reference Characteristics: Sales Date)
and there create formula variable and use replacement path.
Details
Type of variable: Formula
Processing By: Replacement Path
Reference Characteristics: Sales Date
Replace variable with: InfoObject
Replace With: Key
Dimension: Date -

Hi gurus,
I am trying to fill a formula variable of type date via manual entry, but I cannot find which is the correct way to do it. I can introduce any other type of data (amount, prices...) via manual entry but I can´t do the same with dates. Any help about this??
Thanx.Hi Ortiz,
You can do it like this:
1. Create one variable based on any date field.
2. In you query In column create 1 selection, restrict any key figure with this variable (created above). In display property set Hide.
3. Create 1 formula variable with processing type customer exit and choose dimension as date.
4. Now in CMOD, write the below code for your formula variable:
Suppose the source variable name is ZDATE1,
Forumla var name is ZFinal_date
Code it like this:
when 'ZFinal_date'.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa_value WITH KEY vnam = 'ZDATE1'.
wa_range-low = wa_value-low.
wa_range-opt = 'EQ'.
wa_range-sign = 'I'.
APPEND wa_range TO e_t_range.
Now u will get the date inputed value in your formula cariable.
5. Create 1 CKF and do the subtraction in there:
if ur key figure name is KF1 then type forumal as:
KF1 - ZFinal_date.
Hopefully u wil get the desired output.
Thanks

Formula variable for date calculations with date-characteristics (2004s)
Hi SDN,
I'd like to calculate the number of days between to date-characteristics. In 3.5, I was used to create 2 formula variables of the type 'replacement path', with 'date' as the dimension indicator. In my formula, I used the 'proces value as date' function for each variable, and I could perform calculations with them.
I'm trying to do the same in 2004s. However, I can't create replacement path's with 'date' as a dimension indicator. So I use 'number' instead, but it doesn't work: my query shows 'x'.
I can use the variables that I created using the 3.5 query designer as a workaround. But I hope there is a better solution.
If other people experience the same problem, please respond. Then I know it's probably a bug.
Kind regards,
DanielDaniel,
Try to look at the formula variables defined before the upgrade and see what is different to the newly defined. I am guessing just the terminology used is different.
If not the date value might be blank or something for one of the f-variables used. Try to display the formula variable values as KF in the query results and check what it is showing.
I hope this helps.

Is it possible to use charecterestic used in formula variable
Got a boolean logic in a formula of the structure in BEx, i could create a formula variable for date , it works .However, i have to bring payment method into the logic ,( e.g.. if the payment method is 'C'-weekly then late payment logic is different then if it is not weekly) , Any idea how to achieve this in BEx.
You could create a key figure that always displays a fixed value example 1.
You then restrict this individual key figure to payment method C.
The key figure is now only 1 for payment method C.
In your calculation you now say: if key figure = 1 then ... else ...
If statements are not directly possible, you can only do if statemements indirectly by a similar formula:
(key figure = 1) * value
if key figure is one -> result of (key figure = 1) is 1
1 multiplied by value = value
if key figure is not one -> result of (key figure = 1) is 0
0 multiplied by value = 0
You now have an indirect if clause.
Please assign points if this solved your problem,
Best Regards,

Trying to find selling price based on most current date
Need help on finding the selling price based on the most current date. I'm able to get the current date but not the selling price for that date. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
This is the pivot table I'm working with. The price should be 5.81 but it's picking up the highest price and not the last price.
Formula for current date is =LASTDATE('Product Cost'[EFFDATE])
Formula for current price is =LASTNONBLANK('Product Cost'[STDCOST],LASTDATE('Product Cost'[EFFDATE]))

Something like this should give you the behaviour you're after:
Current Price:=
CALCULATE(
MIN(Product Cost[STDCOST]),
FILTER(
ALL(Product Cost),
Product Cost[EFFDATE] = MAX(Product Cost[EFFDATE])

I have created a formula variable on dates. When I run this locally it returns results. Now I have created a calculated key figure on this formula variable. It is not returning any results. Any idea on why this is happening.
Thanks,
KalHi Kal,
Can you paste your Formula & Calculated Keyfigure calculation.
If possible give information on ur formula variable ( processing by , charactesristic , replace variable with ( if it is replacement path ) , Dimension id )

How to assign current date/time to a formula variable in Query Designer
How do I assign the current date to a formula variable in Query Designer? I need to use current data in a calculation and just need the date the report was run.
ThanksHi Philip,
There is an SAP formula variable to supply the current date in a formula. I think it is 0F_ADAY...install it from business content if you cannot see it in the query designer (formula box, under formula variables) and try using it.
Hope this helps... -
Create a formula variable using replacement path for current date

I created a formula variable using replacement path for current date.
But when i used this variable am getting an error message saying .

Here he is trying to use the existing formula variable.
My doubt here is, Even i could not find this varaible in BEX formula variable, But could see this in BI Content path as mentioned in the above link. DO i have to transport this varaible , or i simply can activate it in production?
I just could find this in BI Content but not in MetaData Repository.

Create a project and assign the component RSR00001 to the project(Do not repeat if already done).
Open components.
Goto include of exit.
Writ the code in include.
Sample code
CASE i_vnam.
WHEN 'DEF_DATE'.
IF i_step = 1.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
l_s_range-low = sy-datum.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
End if
