Get the firstday and lastday of last month

Hi,
How to get the first day and last day of the last month?
I used this, but it returns Jan 1st 2010
Firstday:
select TRUNC(SYSDATE,'year') from dual
Lastday:
select LAST_DAY (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE,-1)) from dual

That would be:
SQL> select TRUNC(ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, -12),'yyyy') from dual;
TRUNC(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-12),
01/01/2009
SQL> Your attempt worked because we're still in january, but starting next month it wouldn't give you the desired output.
Also if you can avoid using 'year' or 'month' it is advantageous as you're not relying on NLS localization settings that depend on having your database running in english.

  • Get the first and the last date of a week

    Hi all
    I need to get the first and the last date of a specific week.
    I need a function that returns two date passing it just one date.
    The function has to calculate the first and the last date of the week of the argument date.
    hope to be clear

    goiters,
    I need to get the first and the last date of a specific week.Yup, and what's the first day of the week in your part of the world, is it Sunday or Monday?
    I need a function that returns two date passing it just one date.No you don't, just add 7 days to the start of the week.
    hope to be clearWell, you can hope.

  • When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year.  Why is this and how can I look up the year?

    When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook (using "get info", or the information window in Iphoto) I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year.  Why is this and how can I look up the year? 

    Does the Date Modified column in a window set to List view show the date correctly, or does it also display it incorrectly?
    To add additional columns to a Finder (folder) window, with that window open and active open the View Options for it. You can do that by pressing Command-J or by selecting View Options from the View menu in the main menubar.

  • I lost my iPhone, but it's been more than 24 hours so iCloud won't let me see the last known location of the device, and i need the map of it's last know location to find the phone, how do i get the map of it's last known location?

    I lost my iPhone, but it's been more than 24 hours so iCloud won't let me see the last known location of the device, and i need the map of it's last know location to find the phone, how do i get the map of it's last known location?

    It's not likely to re-connect to a network lying on the ground somewhere and getting rained on, it would be really great if I could see that map again so I could use it's last known location to find it.  Kind of pointless to have a 24 hr killswitch deadline.  If I had known I would have taken a screen-shot while I still had access to the information.  Since I lost the phone at Canada's Wonderland (which is now closed for the season) I don't have access to the location where I lost the phone (under a roller-coaster probably), and so I wanted to send the Lost And Found people a screen-shot of it's last known location, but I guess I can't do that now.  (Apple are big jerks)

  • Trying to get the Opening and Closing Balance, 0TOTALSTCK and 0VALSTCKVAL

    Hi Experts, Good Day.
    I am developing a query for Stock Balances, Using Custom cube created with copy from 0ic_c03.
    I am trying to get the Opening and Closing Balance, based on Non-Cumulative KF - 0TOTALSTCK and 0VALSTCKVAL.
    Both The KF's Behaviour for Exception Aggregat. = Last Value
    I am using VARIABLE OFFSET as -1 to get Opening Balance, and just restriction for Closing Balance based on 0CALMONTH
    Unfortunately i am getting data for the periods which does not have data in my Cube. It is taking the total value as closing balance for the periods which we don't have transaction in the cube.
    For Ex. I have data for 09.2010 & 10.2010 a particular material, when i enter 08.2010 as input i am getting the total value of the material.
    I hope you understand the problem and solution soon.
    I will give you more explanation if needed.
    Thanks in Advance....
    Have a great Day Ahead.....
    GopalN

    Hi GopaIN,
    can you explain us process you have done about initialization of data (2LIS_03_BX, cube compression)? it seams like there was data before 09.2010 and you load it with 2LIS_03_BX data source. That data is not in cube, but just used for update markers.

  • How can I get the start and end of a date range?

    Post Author: RobR
    CA Forum: Formula
    Greetings!
    I have a report whose records are selected if a date field is within the date range returned by the LastFullWeek function.  I want the header for that report to print the first and last dates in that range.  I don't see a way to extract those dates from a date range.  How do I do it?
    Also, I think it would be nice to be able to walk through a date range using a for loop, something along the lines of the following:
    for (thisDate in LastFullWeed)(    do something;)
    but I didn't see syntax like that in the help system.  If I could do this, then I could get the first and last date.  Is this possible?
    Thank you!

    If all you want is the starting date and ending date of the function LastFullWeek, then all you have to do is this:
    minimum(LastFullWeek) & '          ' & maximum(LastFullWeek);
    On a side note, from your post: for (thisDate in LastFullWeed)  Whatcha smokin'  Willis??

    hello
    there r a lot ways
    i'll suggest u two of them
    1) the following dynamic sql procedure
    DECLARE
    TYPE array_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(30);
    TYPE cur_typ IS REF CURSOR;
    c1 cur_typ;
    count1 integer;
    tab_arr array_type;
    querystr varchar2(200);
    begin
    SELECT table_name bulk collect into tab_arr FROM sys.all_all_tables ;
    FOR I IN tab_arr.first..tab_arr.last LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT(TAB_ARR(I));
    querystr := 'select count(*) from ' ||TAB_ARR(I);
    open c1 for querystr;
    fetch c1 into count1;
    EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
    dbms_output.put_line(count1);
    END LOOP;
    close c1;
    END;
    2) or use ANALYZE to analyze the tables and get the number of rows in the NUM_ROW column of DBA_TABLES view.

  • Getting the start  and end dates of the week

    Hi,
    I was stuck with a problem in getting the start date and end date of the week,i know the month ,week and year also,with these three values how can i get the start and end dates of a week.please help me
    Thanks

    There is no simple way. It has to be a math calculation.
    There are several ways you can get the dates. First you have to know what day is January 1st and what day is december 31st for a particular year. Second you have to check whether the given year is a leap year or not. Based on the abvove information you should be able to find out what day is a particular date.
    Hope this helps to get you started.

  • Getting the lowest and highest dates from a column

    <Praise>Numbers is absolutely incredible. Kudos to the Apple team. From the first time I've used it, it has enabled this average spreadsheet user to create awe-inspiring layouts from average data. I'm extremely excited to see where Apple brings </Praise>
    What I am trying to do though is this. I have a column with dates in it. I'm trying to get the lowest and highest dates in that column for a report. For instance, "Date range between 7/1/2007 and 9/11/2007".
    Any help would be very much appreciated

    Let me also pose this. I've been asked to create a two date ranges for this from the same data. This report will need to be updated every two months. Is there a way to specify the spreadsheet to select only rows with a date between X and Y for processing?
    Or, more likely, is there a way to access a cell name by reference from another field? Such that I have a "Current From", "Current To", "Historic From", and "Historic To" column. The value of these fields could be references to a row number that has the beginning and ending date, so that it selects all of the rows in between.
    So I would have something like SUM(SourceSheet :: SourceTable :: A{CurrentTable :: A2} : SourceSheet :: SourceTable :: A{CurrentTable :: A3}) where CurrentTable A2 and A3 are "2" and "6" for rows A2:A6. Is this even possible? Hopefully I'm overcomplicating it and there's a magical function out there that I've missed.

  • How to calc the begining and end of every month (leap year)

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a method that returns the begining and end of next month.
    example:
    today is 2005-10-04
    so the method suppose to return:
    2005-11-01
    2005-11-31 //as it ends on the 31
    I came up with the code below - but I don't like it as I can't get the end of month + it's not safe.
    any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Peter
    Calendar gcToday = Calendar.getInstance();
              int month = gcToday.get(Calendar.MONTH);
              int year  = gcToday.get(Calendar.YEAR);
              month+=2;
              if(month>12) //beacuase of month+=2;
                   year++;

                   nextMonth=year+"-0"+month+"-01";
              else
                   nextMonth=year+"-"+month+"-01"; 

    Look at using the methods getActualMaximum() and getActualMinimum() in the Calendar class. Basically what I would do is set the calendar to the 15th of the month (well, really anything between 1 and 28) and then add() one to the current month. The Calendar will roll over the dates as needed.
