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 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.

  • 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,
    Daniel

    Daniel,
    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.

  • Formula variable for dates

    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

  • Variables for Fiscal year YTD, MTD and Quarter to data

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a fiscal year that runs from September to August. Is it possible to create a customer exit variable for Fiscal year YTD, fiscal year MTD and fiscal year QTD (quarter to date) based on sy-datum and not though user entry.
    If yes, then how should I restrict my key figures so that the user don't have to enter any date and the varaibles derive the data based on sy-datum.
    Looking forward to your expert advices
    Thanks,
    Rishi

    Hi Rishi,
    I understand your query some extent,You can create Characteristic varaible with processing type  Customer exit for fiscal year MTD and fiscal year QTD (quarter to date) based on sy-datum.
    If you want to see fiscal year MTD and fiscal year QTD  values in the column level, you have to create Text variable with replacememnt path.
    Do as follows.
    1) Create Characteristic varaiable  with processing type Customer exit. Search for required code in the SDN.
    2) Create the restricted keyfigure on required keyfigure.  Restrict it on fiscal year MTD and fiscal year QTD  with Char variable to enter year value.
    3)After maintaining the restricted keyfigure  (In the same step ) Create a text variable to get the value populated with the year specified with the processing type Replacement path with characteristic Fiscalyear.
    I hope above steps definetely help full for you.
    If any case you need  help let me know.
    Thanks,
    Chandu.

  • Formula variable for a user input DATE value

    Hi All,
    I want to create Formula variable for a user input DATE value as I need to use it in a formula to compare between user entry date & date in the DSO. Does any body has any idea about it?
    I tried to create formula variable with manual entry but then I am not getting DATE option.
    Regards,
    Sonal

    Hi ,
    You have to create a formula variable in the formula.
    The formula variable in the general tab would have the reference characteristic as your date characteristic on which you have created a user entry variable or on which you intend to create a date entry variable.
    Give the proceesing type as replacement path.
    Next in Replacement path mention you would replace the variable with value of another variable.
    Mention the variable name.(This is the actual varaible created on the selection screen),
    Also mention you would replace only from value/to value of the variable.
    Check the following help link
    [Replacement path type formula variable|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
    Hope this helps,

  • Data folder can not be opened in finding " AirPort Time Capsule " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist .

    Hi
    I have a " AirPort Time Capsule " (firmware 7.7.3) When I try to open the data folder in "finder". Then I got the message  " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist". I have a lot of data and I can understand why I get this message?
    Anyone who can help? Thanks..

    Get a USB drive of 2TB or more.. assuming your TC is 2TB. Either preformatted Mac or plug into your Mac and format it standard Mac OS Extended Journaled in disk utility.
    Do a full archive of the TC. You do this using airport utility. Do not click the erase disk.. I marked in green.. just the archive.. that is to backup the internal disk to the USB disk. It is not fast.. take it that the process will go at around 40-50GB/hr.
    Once you complete the archive .. it is a direct image of the data on your TC.. you can then plug it into your computer directly.. and then try and open the files you lost.. if you cannot open them.. open disk utility and fix the permissions.
    http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/13/repair-disk-permissions-mac-os-x/
    Or try the methods apple recommends..
    OS X Yosemite: Set permissions for items on your Mac
    It is possible to fix things on the USB drive because it is locally mounted.. but you cannot fix it on TC which is network drive.

  • PC Suite 7 – Data transfer not possible. Check dat...

    When I try to use (open, update, modify etc.) the “contacts list” in PC suite version 7.0.7, I always have the following error: “Data transfer not possible. Check data connection”. Instead the SMS list works fine. My phone is Nokia 6267.
    Anyone has a solution?
    Best Regards
    Bix123

    Hi everyone,
    I had the same problem for months with many PC Suite versions & both XP service packs until I tried a phone setting just for testing and everything worked out fine In my phone (3110c) under Settings / Connectivity / Data Transfer / PC Sync, I filled in a random User name & Password and voila!!! All contacts copied just fine!!! I hope this works with other models with the same menu as well. It looks that it's not a PC Suite problem after all (at least for me that is).
    Hope I helped you guys

  • 5310 "Data transfer not possible" calendar sync is...

    I'm trying to get my Nokia 5310 to synchronise its calendar with my work's Outlook 2003, using PC Suite 7.1.26.1.  At work they use Windows XP and Outlook 2003 SP2.  I don't want to bring my USB cable into work, so I'm using bluetooth to connect.  The connection itself works fine - I can browse the 5310's media content, calendar and contacts using my computer.
    The problem is with synchronising calendar with Outlook.  It just won't do it.  Every time, I get a "Data transfer not possible.  Check data connection" message on the phone and a "PC Sync was unable to locate your Outlook message store" error in the PC Suite sync log.
    Things I have tried:
    Repair PC Suite.
    Install new settings (spanner star button) and go through the wizard again.
    As 2, but with manually selecting the Outlook folders on my profile (which were, in any case, already preselected correctly).
    Copying a new profile and trying to sync with that.
    Putting in (the same) username/password in PC Suite and the phone's "sync and backup" option.
    None of these works.  My work computer will happily sync with Google calendars, but won't sync with my phone.
    I've had a good look through the forums but can't seem to find any solutions that work for me.  Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get this to work?

    Try one more thing. This worked for me.
    1. Remove ALL email profiles.  -
    2. Recreate profile - don't forget to write down your Email exchanger server address. This will force Microsoft outlook to startup as if your  a new user but will load your existing email from the server.
    3. Setup PC Sync -- again
    - this has been a pain in the neck!! - something gets corrupted in the profile that PC Sync does not like.

  • Document is in transfer for PO, creation not possible

    Hi
    We are using SRM 4.0 EC scenario. Recently we have been facing the subjected error 'Document is in transfer for PO, creation not possible' while making the confirmation in SRM. It is observed that this is happening mostly in case once we make GR and cancel and repost. Thru some other thread posted in forum, came to know taht we need to delete the entries in table "BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB"  via FM ''BBP_DELETE_FROM_DOCUMENT_TAB''. I ran thei FM but found NO poitive results. Hope somebody can help me out. This error became very common in our production system
    Thanks
    Kiran

    Hi Kiran,
    Please, use the report CLEAN_REQREQ_UP to clear the entry made for the GR in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB. The problem comes because there is an entry for the GR in the table probably from the previous creation.

  • 6301 & PC Suite - "Data transfer not possible. Che...

    Well, as the title says really.
    Upgraded from 6280 -> 6301.
    I use Outlook 2003 and sync contacts & calendar.
    Sync'd the 6280 before finalising upgrade, plugged in the 6301 with a mini-usb cable (All driver reports it installed new hardware fine) once it had fully come into service and it wouldn't sync.
    The phone displays "Data transfer not possible. Check connection" and Nokia PC Sync shows the warning "The mobile phone as not responded". It's solution is "Please ensure your phone is in the standby mode, then restart the Synchronisation. "
    Have updated to latest version of PC Suite 6.85.
    A bit annoying, as I no longer have any contacts info on the new phone...
    Running XP, AMD 3ghz, 4gb ram.

    Having spent many hours on this I have now got it working...
    This is how :
    1. On the phone go to : Settings: Sync and Backup: Server Sync: PC Syncronisation and enter a username and password.
    2. Select Synchronise in Nokia PC Suite, in the Connected to 6301 window click the spanner (settings) icon. Now click the Adjustable wrench (Advanced) Icon and go to the sync profile tab and enter the same username and password that you used on the phone. Click OK twice and sync away...
