Global Change to Convert date to month only

I am trying to group activities in a layout by month, and was going to manually add the start month to the UDF but am wondering if there is a formula I could use to run a global change to update that field as the schedule changes based on the start date. I'm wondering if there is any way I could do this. I know how to do it in excel, but don't want to have to export/import.
Thanks!

Have you tried changing you grouping and sorting to "Start Date" and changing the interval field to "Month". If I understand you correctly this should do exactly what you want without any UDFs

How to Convert Date to Month in Database which is pointing to EBS, Not DWH.

Hi Friends,
We are planning to create reports in OBIEE and the Source is EBS. That means, we don’t want to depends on Datawarehouse and Informatica and OBIApps. We just create some reports and they are pointing to EBS database.
For testing purpose, we have taken one HR Report and it containsthe below columns:
Month (Dim)
Revenue Per Employee Headcount (Fact)
Average Cost per Active Workforce Headcount (Fact)
In my little investigation, we found that Revenue column is coming from EBS: GL_BALANCES. And we configured W_Day_D base table in DAC as there is no Month column in EBS (Not sure).
*** Coming to my problem, how can I call Month column in my database pointed to EBS. How to convert Date to Month in my database.
I could be wrong but anyone please look into this issue.. How can I create columns for that exact OBI report in EBS database instead of DwH.
Thanks in Advance..
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Veeresh,
You are right. Here, no need of using W_DAY_D table, but, we need all the stuff from the table and to explain my problem i have taken that table as an example. Now, we ran scripts for W_MONTH_D and W_DAY_D tables with EBS columns. So, we are getting data for the tables. In the same manner we have to create scripts for the below tables.
W_GL_ACCOUNT_D
W_GL_OTHER_F
W_STATUS_D
W_MCAL_DAY_D
W_EMPLOYMENT_STAT_CAT_D
W_WRKFC_BAL_A
W_DAY_D (Completed)
W_MONTH_D (Completed)
But, we are not aware of EBS Tables and their columns much. So, we are back tracing from RpD --> DAC --> Info --> EBS for each and every column and its taking much time.
So, if anyone of you facing the same issue, please share the EBS tables for the corresponding OBI tables, which are mentioned above.

'Batch Change' question - Need to adjust month only...

Hi,
I've got a question about using Batch Change. A good portion of my photos have the right Day and Time, however they are one month off.
Is there any way that I can change only the month using Batch Change, or am I stuck?
Perhaps there is another way to change the month besides Batch Change?

Convert Date to Month and Year

Hi,
I am currently using Function Module CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT to convert a date example 20090901 to 01 September 2009.
Using z_date+3 then zdate becomes September 2009 which is what i require.
In the report when I actually sort by month it doesn't really work well example below.
September 2009
September 2010
October 2009
October 2010
November 2009
November 2010
It should really be like the below. I dont want to covert the date to 09.2009 i want it to be September 2009 hence i have taken this approach. Any help would be appreciated.
September 2009
October 2009
November 2009
September 2010
October 2010
November 2010

Adeel

as you are storing it into one string, its just sorting on the basis of string comparison which starts from first later.
store them to two different fields.
like
data : BEGIN OF gt_dt OCCURS 0,
        mnth type string,
        year type n LENGTH 4,
       end of gt_dt.
DATA : s1 TYPE string,
      i1 type i.
*lets say here you get the values to this table like:
s1 = '01 September 2009'.
shift s1 by 3 PLACES left.
i1 = strlen( s1 ).
i1 = i1 - 4.
gt_dt-mnth = s1+0(i1).
shift s1 by i1 PLACES left.
gt_dt-year = s1.
APPEND gt_dt.
s1 = '01 September 2010'.
shift s1 by 3 PLACES left.
i1 = strlen( s1 ).
i1 = i1 - 4.
gt_dt-mnth = s1+0(i1).
shift s1 by i1 PLACES left.
gt_dt-year = s1.
APPEND gt_dt.
s1 = '01 October 2009'.
shift s1 by 3 PLACES left.
i1 = strlen( s1 ).
i1 = i1 - 4.
gt_dt-mnth = s1+0(i1).
shift s1 by i1 PLACES left.
gt_dt-year = s1.
APPEND gt_dt.
s1 = '01 October 2010'.
shift s1 by 3 PLACES left.
i1 = strlen( s1 ).
i1 = i1 - 4.
gt_dt-mnth = s1+0(i1).
shift s1 by i1 PLACES left.
gt_dt-year = s1.
APPEND gt_dt.
now you can sort as you wish.

Can I change Capture time/date globally

I have shots from a trip done with two different cameras, however the time stamps are different by one day and one hour. I would like to globally change the creation date and time on one of the cameras in the Metadata, or perhaps change one and sync with the others. I don't see how this is possible, but maybe there is another program that can do this.
thanks, kb

The Metadata > Edit Capture Time command can adjust a set of photos by the same amount of time:
1. Use the Library Filter bar to search for all the photos taken with just one of the cameras, by filtering in the Metadata browser for Camera or Camera Serial Number.
2. Make sure you're sorting photos by Capture Time (down in the tool bar, View > Tool Bar). Select all the photos from the trip.
3. Do MetaData > Edit Capture Time.
4. Select Adjust To A Specified Date And Time.
5. The Original Time field will show the capture time of the most-selected photo. Change the Corrected Time by one day and one hour.
6. Click Change All -- this will change all of the selected photos by one day and one hour.

LSMW - Read Data not showing in Converted Data

Hi,
I am using LSMW to load data from a flat file (via recording). I have it working except I have one issue. When I display the data in read data all fields are showing. No errors popup when I select convert data. When I select display converted data the last few fields are missing. Any ideas why or how to fix this?
Any help is appreciated as I do not know how to proceed.

Global Change or filter based on Min and Max dates

Hi Guys,
Hopefully there is a genius out there that is an expert with filters and or global changes, I am after a solution and can’t work out if it is possible to do in P6.
Based on a filter (using codes to select a group of activities) I want to write a value into two date UDF Fields can I:
Run a global change to give the earliest and latest date in the group and write the result to all tasks in the group? or
Is there a mindate maxdate option in Global change or filter? Or
If these tasks were grouped in the activity view can a global change be written to fill down the dates that the summary level is displaying, which are essentially the min and max dates of the groups.
I could do this pretty easily in excel but I have over a 100 projects and doing the import one at a time is not feasible.
I could create LOE’s but as my variables are constantly changing and due to the volume also not an option.
Summary bars are not an option eithers as I am writing the UDF’s to get all the bars I want on one line,
An option for me might be to do it using Legare but I would prefer to see if I can get it done in P6 first.
Cheers
Rob

Yes, you can do it in one report.
I created a sample report from efashion:
Year | Lines | Sales Revenue
2001 | Accessories | $250
2003 | Accessories | $550
2001 | City Skirts | $1050
2003 | City Skirts | $1150...........
Create 2 variables 1) Count and 2) Difference:
1) Count as formula - =Count([Lines]) In Report
2) Difference as formula - =Sum([Sales revenue]) Where (Max([Year]) In Report = [Year]) - Sum([Sales revenue]) Where (Min([Year]) In Report = [Year])
You can replace the formula with your report variables. Then just drag Site ID, Count and Difference variables to your report.
Thanks
Jai
