Function ToDate uses an invalid format 'yyyyMMdd' for parameter format. Try rewriting the formula.

How can I convert a date format such as "20140730" using TO_DATE()??
I have tried to create a calculated dimension with ToDate function but it seems Lumira didn't support with that specific format.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,
I understand your concern about the date format. Are you getting blank cells when using the year first, such as "yyyyMMdd"?
Try to use this formula below when creating a calculated dimension (replace {Date} with the correct dimension if different):
ToDate( {Date} ,"dd/MM/yyyy")
It should convert it to a date just fine that way, and then you can right-click on the column and change it to whatever you prefer using "Display Formatting". I'm not sure why this is happening after I did some testing, but I'm sure it will be fixed.
If you want to use Tammy's method, it's also very simple. Just right-click on the column, "Convert to Text" and set number of digits to keep to 0. Then convert to date using the first option in the drop down and change display formatting to whichever you prefer afterwards.

  • Invalid value 0 for parameter login/password_chang

    Hi experts,
    When users log on with passwords the system checks whether the password needs to be changed.Possible reasons for changing the password are that it is set to initial or has expired. If the logon is through an SSO certificate, rather than through user/password query, parameter login/password_change_for_SSO is used to determine how the system should behave.Example: login/password_change_for_SSO=0 then the obligation to change the password is ignored.
    However when we set the value to 0, we get the folowing error:
    "Invalid value 0 for parameter login/password_chang"
    Any ideia? We are using SRM 2007.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    old post, but I had the same problem. If someone has simular problems also, this may be helpful.
    Setting vmin to 0, as Ricardo writes did not work for me, the field was clear after saving the record. But setting "VMIN SET" to "X" did resolve my problem.

    You could repartition your drive to have a different OS X with the older iTunes there, and the newer iTunes on the existing partition. Back up everything beforehand. See Kappy's advice in this thread. Partitioning my Hard Drive

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

    I have been using facetime on my iphone5 for a while and after the recent IOS update, I cannot seems to use my facetime any longer. what went wrong?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • DAX error "Formula is invalid" when updating underlying data, but not changing the formula?

    Hello,
    first of all: I use the 64-bit versions of Excel 2010 and PowerPivot on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    I use this formula to calculate the median of my data:
    MINX( FILTER( VALUES( TableName[ColumnName] ),
                  CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ),
                             TableName[ColumnName] <= EARLIER( TableName[ColumnName]
                  > COUNTROWS( TableName ) * 0.5 ),
          TableName[ColumnName] )
    The data comes from a view on an MS SQL Server and has about 3.5 million rows. With one dataset ("dataset 1"), everything is working out fine and VERY fast ;-). When I change the view on the SQL server to filter for different data ("dataset 2", the result
    set still containing about 3.5 million rows) and update the PowerPivot data and then the pivot table, the status bar reads "Executing OLAP query..." and excel.exe utilizes one CPU core at 100% for a long time and its memory usage increases significantly, but
    nothing happens. If I interrupt that process by pressing Esc, I get the following error (original German text included):

    I have analyzed the two datasets for differences and found the following ones:
    Dataset 2 has also negative values in its ColumnName column, dataset 1 does not. Filtering dataset 2 (by changing the view on the SQL server) so that the column contains only positive values does not help.
    A displayed column contains text with square brackets in it in dataset 2. Changing the SQL view to replace them with an empty string (replace(column2, '[', '')) does not help.
    I do not know what else to try. Can anybody help me? The two datasets are very large, but if anyone can give a recommendation how to export them in a reasonable size, I can make them available.

  • HT1665 I'm using my iPhone 4s headphones for my iPhone 4s but the controls on the headphones have suddenly stopped working.

    They were working an hour of so ago when I last used them but they're currently not doing anything. I've cleaned/looked for lint but there was none.
    Should I take this to the local Phone place where they sell iPhones? I love iPhone/any Apple product headphones because they're far superior to any other brand I've brough (They last a little longer.)

  • Cannot determine a value for an exit variable in the Formula fn w/p empty

    Hi All,
    We have an exit variable Z_EX_AR_VAR, the would read a hierarchy node input variable (Z_HN_AREA), which is furthur based on a hierarchy input variable (Z_HR_AREA), and wouuld return the first leaf of it.
    We have implemented a input ready query based on this exit variable and it is getting the first node and is input ready and saves the data to the database.
    It works well in the query when we have filtered the characteristic with the hier and hier node and the exit variables.
    We need to use the same value to be used in the Fox function.
    As per the requirement, the Fox function has to process the zero (empty) records.
    So, we have customized formula function to process emptry records.
    And in the function of type formula function that processes empty records, we have used the following statement.
    DATA AR type ZAREA.
    AR = VARI ( Z_HN_AREA, HIENM=Z_HR_AREA, 1).
    We are getting the following error message:
    Cannot determine a value for the variable Z_HN_AREA.
    Planning function ended with errors.
    What is that we are doing wrong here. Is it with the 'Process Empty Records' function that cannot read the variable.
    How come this variable is working in the query and it is not working in the FOX.
    We have done the variable to variable binding in the WAD also. Still the same problem.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    - Shashi
    Thanks in '

    Hi All,
    Michael Wolf from SAP confirmed that we cannot use VARiable read functions in the customized Formula function that processes the zero (empty records) as he spoke to SAP AG about the issue.
    Hence we have made a work around by creating a valid record using a dummy key figure in the Custom Formula function that processes empty records so that in the next step, the regular Formula function would get executed, where we could access the variable values by using VARV, VARI functions.
    Thanks,
