Help with Formula

Hey, I'm trying to figure out a forumla that I don't know if it's even possible to do. In column C I am posting the current days date (ex. May 20, 2009). In column D I am wanting to post another date X amount of days from column C. So for example my posting date is May 20, 2009, I want to set column D to display the date that would be 10 days from May 20th so that all I would see in column D is May 30, 2009.
Can anyone help me out?

I figured it out myself... I set column C and D to both be Date formatted the forumla is =C2+10 and it returned the date 10 days from the original
I guess pretty simple

Help with formula script

Hi guys,
I need some scripting help with a formula I am trying to create. Basically, the RWDerived property should replace the Spaces in the descrption of a node with an underscore "_". The description property is the system description property. Thanks.
-- Adi

From the user guide:
"The ReplaceStr function, which requires parameters for the old and new pattern, can take
comma, space, tab, crlf, cr, lf, openparen, or closeparen, in square brackets ([]), in
addition to normal text strings."
It's much better to use "[space]" in your formula so that it won't break if someone edits it and changes the way whitespace is handled down the road. That checkbox is such an annoyance!

Need Help with Formula

I am fairly new to Crystal Reports and could use some assistance. I have built two subreports with formulas to pull information into the main report. Now I would like to create a total per line based on the two values pulled from subreports, plus another column in the main report (the information is already pulled in). How can this be done?
Edited by: JmeAbiday on Jun 4, 2009 3:51 PM

Sastry,
The formula is placed in the subreport.
About the formula being placed in the main report. I am a little confused.
You said place it after the sub report section. The sub report section on the report includes two columns in the main report (each column coming from a different subreport). I am trying to make a column to the right of these columns with a line total of the three columns to the left. So on the design of the main page, I have a formula from the main page in one column, and then the other two columns come from the subreports.
I guess I don't understand what you mean by placing it after the sub report section, when I am trying to create a line total of the items in the columns. Can you please elaborate?
I apologize, I am still new to this! What I am trying to do:
Column A (Main Report) / Column B (From Subreport1) / Column C (From Subreport 2) / Total: ABC
Assume each column has hundreds of rows.
Thanks again for your assistance!

Crystal Reports 2008 - help with formula to retrieve lastfullmonth

Hi, I'm new to this forum. First post. I have a SQL query where
:month(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) = (MONTH(getdate())- 1)
I need to create a CR formula that will pull in data from last month as this report will be run on a monthly basis. If I use 'getdate() -31' there will be a problem with the months that don't have 31 days.
I'm also very new with creating formulas so including an explaination would be helpful. Thanks,
Joyce

Sorry for the slow repsonse in getting back to you.
I wasn't able to get the SQL query to work. I did find one that does work except I need to find out how to pull in the minimum date and the maximum date of the records into the report.
Here's the SQL query:
--to query for the prior month, if January then month = 12 else month = (current month - 1 month).
and
month(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) =
CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE()) as datetime) = 01
                      THEN month(cast((str(12)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate())-1)) as datetime))
                      ELSE MONTH(cast((str(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE())-1)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate()))) as datetime)) END
--to query for the proper year, if January then year = (current year - 1 year) else year = current year.
and
year(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) =
CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE()) as datetime) = 01
                      THEN year(cast((str(12)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate())-1)) as datetime))
                      ELSE year(cast((str(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE())-1)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate()))) as datetime)) END

Need help with formula in Numbers for iPad 2

I have a spreadsheet with a formula such as b2 x c2 very simple. However, if the formula cells (b2 and 2) are blank then the destination cell contains a zero. How can I make my destination cell b blank while the formula cells are blank? I got thsvresponse from a person working with Mac os x, if this helps...
I can't seem to make this work in my formula bar on ipad2!
=if(isblank(<source cell>), "", <What ever your formula is>)
Thanks for any suggestions!
iPad 2

Your friend was close, but forgot one thing. If you want it to be blank if either cell is MT, then you need an OR as well o test if either one or the other is blank...
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(a1),ISBLANK(b1)),"",a1xb1)
The isblank can also be represetned by ="" in many cases, usually accompanied with a trim to make sure there are no spaces were entered...
=IF(OR(TRIM(a1)="",TRIM(b1)="")),"",a1xb1)

Need help with formula that puts values in Field1 based on value of field2

I have two custom fields in the Contact record - Date met and Time Known. Date met is a standard date field that is entered by the user. I then wanted Time Known to automatically populate with specific values based on a formula I wrote. However, the formula/function is not working properly.
I'm also not sure if this should be a pre or post field formula, field validation, or workflow. Please help! Here's the formula I have so far. It worked for a new record created, but now doesn't work at all for some reason (probably from my testing).
IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<365,"Less than One Year",IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<1095,"One to Three Years", IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<1825,"Three to Five Years",IIf(Today()-[<dResearch_Date_ITAG>]<3650,"Five to Ten Years","Ten Plus Years"))))
This says the following:
If Date Met is less than 365 from today, then enter "Less than One Year" into the Time Known field;
if date met is less than 1095 (but greater than 365) days from today, then enter "One to Three Years"
if date met is less than 1825 (but greater than 1095) days from today, then enter "Three to Five Years"
if date met is less than 3650 (but greater than 1825) days from today, then enter "Five to Ten Years"
otherwise, enter "Ten Plus Years" for all values greater than 3650.
What am I doing wrong? I'm new to expressions and formulas in Oracle.

Hi, You have to do @ 2 places. For setting the field value @ the time of creating a new record using the field default feature. Check post default as the calculated value is dependent on some other field that you are going to set @ the time of creation. For updating the field whenever the record is modified, use workflows

New to OBIEE need help with Formula

Is it possible to use a prompt in a column formula filter for e.g. FILTER("Defect Facts"."Detected on Date" USING "Defect Facts"."Detected on Date" = '@{11/20/2009 12:00:00 AM}')) this formula does not works for the column. What i need to do is create a filter that will only pull back the date > 11/12/2009 using the formula. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to create a filter in the formula and not create a filter for my report? If i create a filter for my report and do a drill down it ignores the date and pull back all defects.
Thanks for your help
Edited by: CedricG on Dec 28, 2009 11:37 AM

Ok my problem may not be the filters. I created a detail drill down for my defects and created a second report with the number of defects. In the second report, I created a table that displays the total number of defects by Product and severity.
Ex:
Defect
Total Defect
Product S1 - Critical S2 - High S3 - Medium S4 - Low
RPAS 6 1 2 3
RMS 7 2 1 3 1
Grand Total 13 2 2 5 4
I used Bins to group my products and name them one name.
Ex:
1) Product is equal to / is in "RPAS for Merch Financial Planning - 1814", "Extract Tranform and Load - 1803" and named that Bin RPAS
2) Product is equal to / is in "Merchandising System - 1816", "RMS" and named that Bin RMS
If i wanted to see what are the 2 defects for RPAS that's a S3-Medium, I would select the 2 but it displays 414 of the defects in my database and not the two taht i'm expecting. I think my problem is I'm passing the "RPAS" to my defect drill product prompt and not the actual value Merch Financial Planning - 1814. Do you knw how to get around this? It works if i dont group them in the Bin.

New to Numbers, help with formula please.

I am trying to find the formula which best does the following for me.
I have a spread sheet with four colums.
Colum A. Shows Text, heading of locations, eg Home, Away, Hotel etc. Then beside these columns i have the days i arrive and depart the locations. The forth column shows the total of nights spent in each type of accommodation
Eg
Ongoing Table
Home          Date          Date          5
Away           Date          Date          5
Home          Date          Date          5
Hotel          Date          Date          5
Home          Date          Date          5
Hotel          Date           Date           5
Away          Date          Date          5
As this in an ongoing list, I am looking to have a section that will automatically and continually add up the total nights I spend in different types of accommodation. So, in summary I can look at it the following way
Summary Table
Home          15
Away          10
Hotel          10
So that when I enter in a separate line in my ongoing table, it automatically keeps the running tally in my Summary Table.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dolmio,
Let's say that your log table is named Ongoing. The expression in your summary table, column B, would be:
=SUMIF(Ongoing :: A, A, Ongoing :: D)

Help with formula that is dependent on checkboxes

Hello -
I can't figure out this one for the life of me... In column A there is a list of tasks, column B has check boxes for each task. Column C has the starting day number of each activity, and column D has the duration of each activity.
I'd like to check each box for the activities that I'd like to do, enter the duration of the checked tasks, and have the table figure which task starts on which day. ie: - if tasks A, D, & E are checked, then it shows that task A starts on day 1, runs for 2 days, task D starts on day 3 & lasts for 5 days, & task E starts on day 8, and lasts for 4 days.
Should this be an IF formula? I'm not sure how to make everything dependent of the check box status. Here's a link to the table, if that helps
http://www.sendspace.com/file/rckrn2
Thanks

Hi Jeremy.
For starters, I'm less than favourably impressed with your choice to place the file on a site whose first choice, when clicked starts to download a Windows executable file.
A better choice, and a more 'standard' one here would be to place a screen shot of the result you hope to achieve in your post.
I've done a little reorganization of your table, adding one column to those described above to avoid having a calculated column between two entry columns.
Tasks are listed in column A, checkboxes in column B. The estimated duration of each task is listed in column C.
Columns D and E are calculation columns.
The value from C is transferred to E if the checkbox is checked in that row.
Column D determines the starting day for each checked task, with the assumptions that the tasks will be done in the order they are listed, that each must be finished before starting the next, and that the new task starts on the day the previous one is finished.
Formulas:
D2 and filled down to D10: =IF(B,1+SUM($E$1:E1),"")
E2 and filled down to E10: =IF(B,C,"")
Row 11 is a Footer row. The formula in E11 is =SUM(E)
You might find the arrangement below a more logical order for the columns. Note that a different selection of tasks has been made, and the calculations automatically adjusted:
Revised formulas for this order:
D2: =IF(C,1+SUM($E$1:E1),"")
E2: =IF(C,B,"")

Barry

Help with Formula/Placeholder columns for group totals

I have select that is broken into 2 groups (a COMPANY group and a DETAIL group within company). I need to determine the COMPANY group totals based on values in a column in the DETAIL group. I.E. the column is a transaction description and can have up to 15 different values and it did not appear that a summary column would work for what I need. I have currently set up 15 formula columns in the DETAIL group and check the value of the REASON to accumulate totals and return the total to a PLACEHOLDER column (which is numeric and defined in the COMPANY group).
I then report the Placeholder columns at break of COMPANY. This all works fine if I run only one company. If I run with multiple companies the Placeholder columns are used as a running total.
My question is how do I reset the PLACEHOLDER columns at company break if at all, or is there a simpler way to accomplish what I need.
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Tom Vereecke

If you are using one placeholder column in different formula columns just ignore the following solution. It will not work in that case. I will post it here if i find out any way to initialize placeholder columns at different groups or anyother way to solve this issue.
I think if you remove placeholder columns and create summary columns at Company Level, that will work. And formula columns will be changed as follows:
Formula Column:
active_total number(10) := 0;
begin
if :status_1 = 'ACTIVE' then
active_total := active_total + 1;
end if;
if :status_2 = 'ACTIVE' then
active_total := active_total + 1;
end if;
if :status_3 = 'ACTIVE' then
active_total := active_total + 1;
end if;
return active_total;
end;
And in summary columns source will be formula columns. And reset the summary columns at Company.
Hope this helps.

Need Help with Formula using SQL maybe

I need help! I work with Crystal reports XI and usually manage just fine with the Formula editor but his one I think will require some SQL and I am not good at that.
We are running SQL 2000 I think (Enterprise Manager 8.0) Our sales people schedule activities and enter notes for customer accounts. Each is stored in a separate table. I need to find activities that are scheduled 240 days into the future and show the most recent note that goes with the account for which that activity is scheduled.
The two tables, Activities and History, share the an accountID field in common that links them to the correct customer account.   I want to look at dates in the Startdate.Activities field more than 240 days in the future and show the most recent note from the History table where the accountid's match. I figure my query will contain a join on AccountID.Activities and AccountID.History used with Max(completedate.History) but I do not understand how to word it.
I would like to perform all this in crystal if possible. I humbly request your help.
Membery

You SQL would look something like this...
SELECT
a.AccountID,
a.BlahBlahBlah, -- Any other fields you want from the Activities table
h.LastComment
FROM Activities AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN History AS h ON a.AccountID = h.AccountID
WHERE (a.ActivityDate BETWEEN GetDate() AND DateAdd(dd, 240, GetDate()))
AND h.HistoryID IN (
     SELECT MAX(HistoryID)
     FROM History
     GROUP BY AccountID)
This method assumes that the History table has a HistoryID that increments up automatically each time a new comment is added... So a comment made today would always have a higher HistoryID that one made yesterday.
If I'm wrong and there is no HistoryID or the HistoryID doesn't increment in a chronological fashion, it can still be done but the code is a bit more complex.
HTH,
Jason

Help with formula for school based pupil tracking

Hi,
I am trying to figure out a formula that will help me calculate what we call a CSI (Core Subject Indicator)
Basically - in the Wales we have 4 core subjects - English, Welsh, Science and Maths. If a child achieves a level 4 or above in Maths, Science and either Welsh or English, then he has achieved his/her CSI. It is the either Welsh or English that poses the problem for me!
So we could a situation like in the table below.

Hi Gwyn,
Here is an approach with a single IF() and an interesting AND() OR().
The formula in F2
=IF(AND(B2≥4,C2≥4,OR(D2≥4,E2≥4)),"yes","no")
This says if B2 and C2 are equal or greater than 4 and either D2 or E2 are greater than 4 then "yes"

Help with formula variable that will give me period #

column A = $ for fiscal year period variable (using 0RMA_FIP, SAP delivered variable for period)
Column B = $ for fiscal year period variable minus 1 (previous period)
In Column C, if fiscal year period entered in 0RMA_FIP was 001/YYYY (january) I want column C to be zero, if not, it will be a variance between column A & Column B.
I think know how to do boolean logic: (FV_Period == 1) *0 + (Column B % Column A)
What i am having trouble with is creating FV_Period as a replacement path formula varialbe so that it will contain the value of the period, 1 for January, or 2 thru 12 for other months..

While creating the Formula variable with replacement type, you need to mention the offset start and offset length.
I believe if your Fiscal Period is displayed as 2010009 then
offset start = 5 and offset length = 3 should give you the value 009 which is required.

I need help with formulas please. See bottom of 1st table for question. Thanks.

LI,
Regarding the date matching... As I understand it, you want to truncate the date to Month and Year, not considering the Day part of the date. You can do that with this type of expression:
=MONTH(date) & "-" &YEAR(date)
The result for January 10, 2013 would be: 1-2013. If you must have the exact format of Jan-13, you could write this somewhat more complicated expression:
=LEFT(MONTHNAME(MONTH(date)), 3)&"-"&RIGHT(YEAR(date), 2)

Jerry
