Group by Month, Group By Year

I have a date column in my table and it looks like 2009/06/29. Is there a way I can GROUP BY MONTH and GROUP BY YEAR on this column?
Or do I have to create a YEAR column to GROUP BY YEAR, and a month column to GROUP BY MONTH?
Thanks.

When you insert a group on date field you will be having an option in group option "The section will be printed" For each month or year. So you can select for each month or week or quarter or year.

News articles grouped by month and year

PHP and MySQL...
Don't know if I am going to get an answer here, but I am looking for a bit of advice on how to handle grouping of news articles into months and each then into the respective year to make it easier for the user to navigate content. I am trying to acheive this effect:
2012
- July
- June
- March
- January
2011
- December
- October
- April
2010
- November
- You get the idea I hope
I have set up MySQL to use a 'date' field called fld_articledate (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD). I need to structure my recordset query to select by year and group it, but then I also need to group by month relative to that year, but I have no idea of where to begin. So I guess my question is two-part:
How do I group by year?
How do I then group by month of that year?
Once I have my queries sorted, I assume I'd print to page with repeat and nested repeat regions!
Thanks.

PHP and MySQL both have a lot of built in functions for working with dates.
Here is a little code example from one of my projects that is similar to what you want to do. this example uses PDO, but the query is the same if you are using the older mysql extension. the last line builds an array of the result. You may not need this.Also note that the month and year are returned from the query using aliases (month, year); They could just as well be called "mymonth' and myyear, etc. The second to the last like formats the result for display.
$sql=$dbh->prepare("SELECT DISTINCT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM(startdate)) AS year, EXTRACT(MONTH FROM (startdate)) as month FROM courses WHERE startdate > $currentdate order by startdate");
$sql->execute();
while ($monthorder = $sql->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
$month = $monthorder['month'];
$year = $monthorder['year'];
$monthtext = date('F Y', mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));
$monthlist[]=array('month'=>$month, 'year'=>$year);
Since you want to link to articles, you then need a second query that will retrieve those details based on whatever month is selected. something like this:
("SELECT courses.course_id, title, startdate, enddate, highlight_photo FROM courses WHERE startdate > '$currentdate' AND EXTRACT(YEAR FROM (startdate)) = '$year' AND EXTRACT(MONTH FROM (startdate)) = '$month' ORDER BY startdate")

Group by Month then week !!!

Hey All,
I would like to group by month of a year and then group by weeks and display the values for the weeks.
For example: In the year 2008,January . The table should have (January,2008) in the first row and then (week 1 ,week 2 ,week 3 , week 4 and week 5 )
in the second row . followed by the pertaining values for those weeks.
Project ID----|----------------------January,2008------------------------|-----
----------------|Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 |-----
xx34----------|---- 1--- |---- 2 ---|---- 1 ---|---- 1 ---|---- 1 ---|-----
It would great if anybody could help me in resolving this usse either through XML Publisher or through SQL coding.
Thank u all...

This is the aggregation query result:
However, the desired result is to return only two rows: one row for month 3 and the other row for year to date (in the picture above YTD is the row that appears with {null} in the Month column). Is there a way to achieve this goal by modifying the
sample code above? The requirement is to only read the data once (do not want a solution that involves a UNION which implies reading the data twice).

you can add required filters in having clause. Here is the query -
select
TotalQuantity = sum(Quantity),
[Month] = month(Day)
from @test
group by
grouping sets
(month(Day)),
(year(Day))
having
month(Day) = 3 or month(Day) is null;

Grouping by month

I need to display a month-by-month record of several indicators. The data is entered in daily, and I need to do basic things like average, sum, compare to target, etc. I've got a couple of views that simplify the data down to an organization, a date, and a value to ease the UNIONs. Now what I'm struggling with is the grouping of values. I've seen some posts that suggest using TRUNC(my_date,'MM') as a grouping method. My concern is: if the data spans multiple years, won't that grab data from the same months but different years?
Just looking for a little confirmation. If that works, it's and easy solution. If not, can someone suggest a way to group based on both year and date in the same statement? I am trying to pivot/aggregate the information based on date to display for more than a dozen indicators, so I'll be using a CASE statement for the values, thus the need for a single evaluation criteria.
Here's a sample:
select 'C3' as SECTION, '<strong># of Audits</strong>' as HEADING, NULL as OWNER,
        NVL (SUM (CASE WHEN TRUNC(DATE_INDEX,'MM') = TRUNC(to_date((:P3_DATE_START,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'MM')
          THEN VALUE END),0) AS MON1,
        NVL (SUM (CASE WHEN TRUNC(DATE_INDEX,'MM')+1 = TRUNC(to_date((:P3_DATE_START,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'MM')+1
          THEN VALUE END),0) AS MON2,
from V_VF_SAFETY_AUDITS
where ORG_ID = :P3_ORG_ID
group by 'C3', '<strong># of Audits</strong>', NULL
union
...

TRUNC (my_date, 'MM') will return the first DATE in the same month as my_date. For example, if my_date is
27-Apr-2009 17:50:03, then TRUNC(my_date, 'MM') will return
01-Apr-2009 00:00:00.
Did you try it in your query? Did it not do what you wanted?
If you want to put everything from the month of April 2009 in the same group with April 2008 (and April 2007, and ...) then use TO_CHAR instead of TRUNC: "GROUP BY TO_CHAR (my_date, 'MM')"
If you need help, post some sample data (that does not work with your existing query, modified to include TRUNC or TO_CHAR) and the correct results you want from that data.

Group by month

Hi All
i m using 10g Forms and Reports. i have the following fields.
1) ID
2) Student Name
3) Father Name
4) Entry Date.
now i want reports group by months, for example the report shows me entries of students in seperate months.
Regards
Saqib

Hello,
I could not understand very well, But if you are talking about the month and year of entry date then query can be like this...
SELECT student_id, student_name, father_name, TO_CHAR(entry_date,'MON-YYYY') DT
FROM table_name;Now while creating report in wizard use the group above report and choose the DT field as group and rest field in the below tabular block. Then run the report.

Doubt regarding Grouping of Months

Hello,
Can i get any idea or any solution for grouping according to months.... <i.e> The output should appear like
Jan --- Some calculation --- etc --- etc
Feb --- Some calculation --- etc --- etc
Mar --- Some calculation --- etc --- etc
April --- Some calculation --- etc --- etc
May --- Some calculation --- etc --- etc
June --- Some calculation --- etc --- etc

Hi,
It depends if you want to group months from several years, or months within a year.
Using the following sample data :with s as (

Variable (Perhaps replacement Path) to group past months together

Hello.
I'm trying to perform a query that would group past months data within the current month to aggregate my Key Figures.
As an example, I have in my InfoCube:
- Material
- CalendarMonth
- Initial Qty (Key Figure)
- Added Qty (Key Figure)
- Substracted Qty (Key Figure)
I'd like to get something like my materials on rows, CalendarMonth on column with my 3 Key Figures on rows as well. The only thing is that all data pertaining to months prior to "Right now (i.e. August 08)" should be aggregated in August 08, therefore, my first month of data displayed would be August and not January 08 if I have data in this month.
This might be very basic to you experts out there but I'm pretty new to the nice BW world and can't figure how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
P.s. I can't find anywhere (except for the small hints on the right when posting a new thread) how I can format my post as I'd like to put TABS and space but they're getting removed in the preview, is there anywhere the list of ALL possible codes I can use when posting ?

                            August 08     September 08     October 08     November 08     December 08     January 09     February 09     March 09

Ok, I've finally been able to manage a "similar" output to what I'm trying to achieve. The total line would actually be a calculated key figure based on the three others. So in the example above, user as specified March 2009 to be the end calendar period he wants to see the inventory "estimates". All data prior August 2008 should be shown in August 2008 in their respective Key Figures and then the "Total" would adjust accordingly. So to answer your question, yes, the same logic need to apply to all 3 Key Figures.

Column Grouping By Month

Hello. Here's my data set:
I'm trying to produce a Reporting Services report that displays counts by month -- but for both calls open and closed under a single month heading. For example:
I don't see a straightforward way to do this. I'm using a Tablix in SSRS 2008 R2. I can easily group counts by months if I'm working with just one column (just the open or closed date), but this isn't so clean. I appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

Hi Bvy,
I have tested on my local environment and you can modify the query in the dataset to count the open and closed for each month and then design the report, finally we will get the same structure as the snapshot you have provided.
Details information below for your reference:
1. Modify the query in the main dataset like below:
;with cte as
select CallCategory,DATEPART(month,DateOpen) DateOpen,DATEPART(month,DateClose) DateClose from [TableName]
cte2 as
select sum(case when c.DateOpen is null then 0 else 1 end) cn,t.callcategory,t.dateopen from cte c right join (select * from (select distinct dateopen from cte) a cross join (select distinct callcategory from cte) as t) t
on c.dateopen=t.dateopen and c.callCategory=t.callcategory group by t.CallCategory,t.DateOpen
cte3 as (
select sum(case when c.DateClose is null then 0 else 1 end) cn,t.callcategory,t.dateClose from cte c right join (select * from (select distinct dateClose from cte) a cross join (select distinct callcategory from cte) as t) t
on c.dateClose=t.dateClose and c.callCategory=t.callcategory group by t.CallCategory,t.dateClose
select c.callcategory,c.cn as [open], isnull(t.cn,0) as [close],isnull(c.DateOpen,t.DateClose) as month from cte2 c full join cte3 t on c.CallCategory=t.CallCategory and c.DateOpen=t.DateClose
2. Design the Report structure using the Matrix instead of the tablix like below:
Row Group:Call_Category
Column Group:Month
3. Preview you will get the result like below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Grouping by month within date range

Hi,
I have a date range which I like to group by months, but not from the 1st to last date of the calendar month but by given start date. For example the table below represents the date range with some values in a table.  So the
first month range in the group should be from 06/06/2013 to 08/07/2013. The 06/07/2013 is absent because it's Saturday. In fact the data is populated with working days only.
Table below shows what I really would like to get:
There is a simple calculation for each month anniversary date, if the value from the start date, 06/06/2013, here 12 is less than the next month anniversary date, 08/07/2013, which is 9, then it should ignore it. And only show the value from the month
who's anniversary date value is less than the first date value, 12. So the example above shows value 14 for the second month's anniversary date, 06/08/2013.  If the value has been found in any month the show, and ignore the rest.
I am just interested if there are any and report which number of month and the value.
I can implement this in procedural way, such as in VBA, but because the above looped many times it will take hours to run the process. I have tried in SQL Server, but first problem I came up with is that I can't group by month from the given start
date.
Is this possible to do in T-SQL ?

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. So I'll break the answer into two parts.
First, as I understand it, you are looking for a way to group data by months, but not all dates in June, 2013 as one group, all dates in July, 2013 as the next group, etc. Instead you want all dates from June 6, 2013 to July 5, 2013 as the first month,
all dates from July 6, 2013 to August 5 as the second month etc. The way to do that is use
DATEDIFF(month, '20130606', <your date column>) + CASE WHEN DAY(<your date column>) < 6 THEN -1 ELSE 0 END
So you can assign the month number you want to every row when you select from your table by
SELECT DATE, VALUE, DATEDIFF(month, '20130606', DATE) + CASE WHEN DAY(DATE) < 6 THEN -1 ELSE 0 END AS MonthNumber
FROM <your table name>
Now as I understand it (but am not sure), you want the first value in each "month" (as you are defining "month" which is greater than the value contained in your start date and if no value in a particular month is greater than that value,
you don't want any row for that month. For that you could do something like
Declare @StartDate date;
Declare @StartValue int;
Set @StartDate = '20130606';
Select @StartValue = Value From <your table name>
Where Date = @StartDate;
;With cteMonthNumber As
(SELECT DATE, VALUE, DATEDIFF(month, @StartDate, DATE) + CASE WHEN DAY(DATE) < DAY(@StartDate) THEN -1 ELSE 0 END AS MonthNumber
FROM <your table name>
WHERE DATE > @Date AND VALUE > @Value),
cteOrdered As
(Select DATE, VALUE, MonthNumber,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY MonthNumber ORDER BY DATE) As rn
From cteMonthNumber)
Select MonthNumber, Value As KickOutValue
From cteOrdered
Where rn = 1;
Tom
P.S. Notice that I wrote my date literal as YYYYMMDD. This is a good idea in SQL Server since '20130806" will always be interpreted as August 6. But depending on the settings on your server and/or client '06/08/2013' might be dd/mm/yyyy
and so be August 6, but it might be interpreted as mm/dd/yyyy and be June 8.
It is also a good idea to express date literals in this forum as yyyymmdd. There are a lot of us on the forum from the United States and we think 06/08/2013 is June 6 and a lot of us from other places who think 06/08/2013 is Aug 8. If you give
your dates as yyyymmdd we don't have to try to figure out what format you are using.

Now here is where I am getting stuck. I need to take the variance between the current month of the current year, from the same month of the prior year. So I need to show the difference between Oct , 2014 from Oct, 2013. November, 2014 from November
2013... etc. etc.
In the example below, how do I create a column or row showing the variance for Contracts for October 2014. I need to take the contracts for October 2014 which is 3 and subtract that from October 2013 which is 8. Any suggestions? How do I do that
for each month? Then I need to do it for the quarter... then the year? But I'll be happy if I can just get the month working first.
Any help will be appreciated.
here is what my rdl file looks like.

Hi Adrian_s2012,
According to your description, you want to compare values for the month of current year with the month of prior year and get the variance. Right?
In Reporting Services, we don't have any function to get this "Year to Year" Growth. In this scenario, if you data source is a cube, we suggest you use Analysis Services to achieve your requirement. If this data source is just from database, it will be hardly
to calculate the variance because we need to compare the values within every two different column group and matrix generate adjacent columns one by one. Even we make it by using custom, every time executing the long code when generating result
in a cell will reduce a lot of performance, we really don't suggest to do that in SSRS. Here is a thread with much easier requirement, please take a reference of that:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SSRS Variance expression problem. Create a Variance expression. Compare current month with same month from previous year.

Hello,
I am using VS2010 shell. I have a matrix report where I have a row group by Year. Then I have a column group by Month.
When I run the report, I get 2013 data on top of 2014 data. Now I need to create a variance by year for each month.
So in the example below, I need to create an expression that will pull the variance for Oct 01... subtracting 2013 from 2014 for the months. So I need to Subtract 8,222 - 4290. I have no clue.
Here is what my rdl looks like.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Adrian,
If I understand correctly, you want to calculate the difference order between 2013 and 2014 for every month. And there are only two years in the FISCAL_YEAR field.
If in this scenario, we can simply use the following expression to achieve your requirement:
=first(Fields!ORDER.Value)-last(Fields!ORDER.Value)
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

In contacts app how can I move a contact from one group to another group?

I find I cannot move a contact from one group to another group. If I delete a contact from one group I delete that contact from my total contact population. I did not have this problem in earlier IOS versions. Can anyone help me?

Thanks SO much, Barney. How embarrassing, I could have sworn that I tried that first.
I will definitely get them all moved over before I delete that account and I've already gone in & changed my preferences. Several years ago, my husband I decided to share one calendar and one contacts list, using his mobile me account and it's been great for us. I'm particularly thrilled to no longer serve as a human rolodex and I guess that I paniced a bit when I thought there might be a problem with our system. I'm still confused where that "On my mac" account came from on the first place. Do you suppose that was an automatic thing that came with the Mountain Lion upgrade?
thanks again!

Problem in creating group above AND group left in one report!

Hi all,
I need a report that is a combination of group above and group
left.
Suppose I have 3 table (Emp, Sales, Product):
Emp Table has 2 column
- Emp_PK
- Emp_Name
Sales Table has 4 column
-Sales_PK
-Sales_Date
-Emp_FK
-Produck_FK
-Quantity
Product Table has 3 column
-Product_PK
-Product_Name
-Product_Price
I want to make Employee Sales Report For The Month that will
look like this:
Emp Number___: Emp_PK
Emp Name_____: Emp_Name
Sales Date______Product_Name____Quantity \(2 sales
________________Product_Name____Quantity /the date)
Sales_Date______Product_Name____Quantity
As you can see this consist of group above (The Employee) and
group left (The Sales and Product).
I create this by using 2 queries and link them (the Emp_PK from
1st query and Emp_FK from 2nd query) on the report builder using
data link.
The first query is:
Select Emp_PK, Emp_Name from Emp
The second query is
Select Emp_FK, Sales_Date, Product_Name, Quantity
From Sales, Product
Where Product_PK=PRODUCT_FK
I then create the layout for second query and choose group left
for Sales_Date using wizard and I create additional layout to
for the employee.
The problem is that when I run this report, it will print ALL
the employee record first (including employee who has NOT sale
anything) and then on the last page it will print the record of
Last employee on the Emp table and ALL sales record (including
those that is done by other employee).
This report will run correctly if I choose an exact employee
(For example by adding Where Emp_PK=1111 in the first query) to
report all of the sales done by this person (employee with emp
number of 1111). However I need the report to run and print
ONLY those employee who has Sales Records!
I thought that by linking the 2 queries in Data Model, it will
have the same effect as linking using the WHERE clause in query.
If suppose I create a query like this:
SELECT Emp_PK, Emp_Name, Sales_Date, Product_Name, Quantity
FROM Emp, Sales, Product
WHERE Emp_PK=Emp_FK AND Product_PK=Product_FK
The report will run OK but I can only choose EITHER group above
or group left for this ONE query methods in report Wizard.
Sorry if it is a long question but I hope you can see what I am
trying to do.
Thanks in advance for any tip.

hello,
of course you can create group left and group above blocks in a
single report.
you might want to use the INSERT REPORT BLOCK instead of the
report wizard, as the report wizard only allows you to use one
report layout per report, where the report block wizard (invoked
by INSERT REPORT BLOCK) allows you to choose on a per-block
basis.
of course you can create the blocks completely from scarth by
hand, if you want to.
